Ok. You recovered from that wreck to finish on the lead lap and in 18th.
Lots of drivers would not be able to do that.
Build on that "never say die spirit".

Anyone have any audio from the 10 right after that wreck?
 
You notice lately every week the talk is about how she overcame some kind of adversity to finish where-ever. Today it was another spin. Jimmie broke his shifter & had to use vice grips for a while before his team fixed it, he lost a lap & came back to finish 9th. I suppose that's a bad comparison...
 
This is off topic...but does anyone watch Ice Road Truckers?

Theres a female driver on that show, Lisa Kelly, who the television show portrays as being nothing short of a superhuman driver, having unparallelled cleverness, able to fix and diagnose any engine or other mechanical problem that arises-even if she she said earlier in the episode she has no idea about anything to do with that kind of stuff, quickly able to solo manhandle and attach the chains for every tire in no time at all without breaking a sweat(even though it briefly shows her barely able to lift the chains at all, which I am guessing slipped through the editing room accidentally), unflinchingly calm under pressure. She literally is amazing at everything on the show.

The show is not at all subtle about just how flipping awe inspiring and awesome this woman apparently is at every endeavor she attempts.

The American public loves it when women are able to do the same things that us manly men are able to do. I could totally see the shows producers adding hot air to this girls profile to make her look like a badazz cause that's gonna get more folks watching. During my time in the military, I was a maintainer, girls usually only had to be able to do half of what a man could accomplish to get the same recognition or more. I can't tell you how many times girls were promoted based on off duty education & volunteer work, rarely were they promoted based on actual job performance. This takes me to something I saw earlier in this thread about Danica juggling a dozen sponsors trying to keep everyone happy. It's just sooo sad that with all of the other drivers who've struggled trying to secure & keep sponsors, Danica has them lined up at the door simply because she's an attractive female. Corporate America should be ashamed because you know whenever a male drivers name comes up in the board room it's, how many races & championships has he won? In Danica's case it's "Hey that Danica's a hotty, do we sponsor any NASCAR teams, maybe we should?". Then you have the one guy at the opposite end of the table who says, "but she never wins", next thing you hear is Your Fired!

nascar needs to figure a way to do this for Danica.

On a side note, if you're watching ice road truckers, you should smash your TV and read a book.
 

Danica was piss poor pathetically slow in a premuim ride last night as usual before the wreck, then she slowed up from that pace. She deserved to be knocked out of the way by Bowman, and he should not have apologized, she certaintly wasnt race worthy enough to be of concern.

And it didnt substantially hurt her results she sucked prior the spin, and she did after afterwards too. It just gave her and deniers another excuse.
Lamenting Bowman is just a crutch, another day and another way to think about anything but the real drving problem. Danica herself not being worth a damn as a driver.

She should be mad at herself, how pathetic does somebody have to be in a SHR car to have their most memorable battles with the likes of Bowman, and Cassill.
As usual if it were not for attrition she would have finished in the 30s, which is representive of her pace, in the world of Bowmans, Wise, Arnett, Sorensons, etc.

Her cup highlight reel:
-The pole at Daytona
- A good race at Martinsville.
- A good race at Kansas.
- Then it quickly breaks down to shooting a bird at Smith for her Bristol highlight.
-A kamakize againt Hornish at Talladega, and taking herself out when trying to end Landon Cassills day.
-And a countless number of wave arounds and lucky dogs. She may have more recorded lucky dogs and wave arounds then anyone else in history. So perhaps she has accomplished something.

She will probably be a yahoo C class driver again next year. There may be a sorrier performance that has endured for three years in a premuim ride with excuses intact but I cant think of one.

The message Danica is a girl, cut her a break and she doesnt have to be that good.
That is really a twisted sense of equality. If little girls apply that logic they should leave with nothing more than believin looks is all that matter. You dont have to have substance, just look good and the world is yours. On a bad hair day just find a Bowman to blame, yeah just do it the fan boys will back you up.
 
  • Be scared Bowman..real scared. :wink:


  • Bowman apologizes to Danica: #23-Alex Bowman apologized to #10-Danica Patrick for wrecking her during Saturday night's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway but understands that "Danica Nation is probably going to hate me now.'' Bowman got into the back of Patrick and caused her to spin on Lap 263. Although she didn't hit the wall, she lost two laps. It was part of a rough night for Patrick, who battled an ill-handling car and finished 27th. Bowman said he tried to avoid Patrick but couldn't. "It looked like somebody slid up a couple of cars in front of her and they all checked up,'' said Bowman, who finished 32nd. " I was just too deep not to run into her. I was on the brakes as hard as I could. I went over and talked to her (after the race). Definitely didn't mean to wreck her. Hate that Danica Nation is probably going to hate me now. It was unintentional. I hope she knows that. There was no reason to wreck her. We weren't even on the same lap. I apologized.''
    Later in the race, Patrick ran up on Bowman and expressed her displeasure at the time. Afterward, Patrick was ready to move on. "I think were fine,'' she said. "He's just got to know that when you do that and you don't leave room for error and you hit me and take me out, I'm right there. As soon as I find you again I'm going to let you know I'm not happy. We're fine. If he does it again, worse things will happen. That's all.''(Motor Racing Network)(8-24-2014)

Danica, a veteran?

Patrick has to assert herself. Failure to do so will give drivers such as Bowman the idea she may be bullied into submission on the track. Even if Bowman's attitude towards her is kept in check he's still a formidable threat in the explosive BK Racing Toyota.

At the moment, she's in a fierce points battle for 28th with Justin Allgaier. Although she leaned heavily on her remarkable talent to put a cushion between them at Michigan, he regained points at Bristol in large part because of Bowman intentionally ramming her in the rear end.

She must maintain a reputation of escalating retaliation as she progresses to winning races and claiming championships.

Tongue in cheek as ever.
 
She has had quite the rivalry with the BK Toyota's, but she isn't above taking out her boyfriend's Ford when it comes right down to it. Points are points. Her never say die attitude kept her in the top lane all night at Bristol.

Can't tell if serious...
 
how is she a winner?

Shes a great promoter, and a great person from what Ive seen. Shes won in Indy and she will win in NASCAR. For a business shes Money.
Shes aiming to be the first woman to win in NASCAR.

She better hurry up tho Kenzie will give her a run for her money.
 
No I just think most everyone sees the incompetence including crew members. The money is real and does more than pay rent and to Danica's credit her marketing brillance employees many. It is also a good built in farm system.
One can excel and be a fast tire changer etc and just may be able to see their skills help one of the other three competent drivers in the organization win one day.

Danica wants to win I am sure, a kid racing a local go cart wins to win a cup race too.

I have not heard anything about crew members speaking out against her?
I disagree Patrick is a farm system for the other drivers on SHR.

3 major leage talents and 1 minor league talent.
 
Has a Kenzie even won a East race yet? Funny she is getting the K & N buzz while others that have won dont get a mention.

Dont think she has. Everyone seems to want the next Danica.

Their not stupid, I do not publicly expose my employers faults either.
