Hambone vs. Danica

At least Danica made herself into the headlines, this was the first story that showed up on Yahoo's homepage this morning. So, mission accomplished I guess.

A bigger headline will be when she wins the 500 sunday.

I just wanna point out that with 20 to go, KyBu was locked to JJ's bumper all the way to the exit of turn 2 & with 11 to go, Truex jr sucked up to the bumper of Hamlin in the middle of the turn. Not a problem.

Logano pushes Harvick into the turn = issue
Hamlin pushes Patrick into the turn = issue.

Driver preference. Car set up. Racing deal. Period.

I agree to a point. This kind of deal happens all the time. Typical plate racing. Typical Daytona. However, bump drafting in the corners usually doesn't end well and is the usual cause of wrecks at these tracks. Denny was trying to push Danica to keep up with the draft and move to the front. But pushing her left rear corner in the middle of turn 3-4 probably wasn't a good idea.

All that said, if Danica was a better driver, she probably could have held onto the thing. As you said in your post, several other drivers did the same thing during the race and no wreck ensued.

I feel like Denny is in a no win here. Danica was obviously slower. Is he supposed to just stay behind her and get hung out of the draft? Or push her knowing it could cause a wreck? Especially when it's Danica, who crashes everytime someone sneezes on her.

Danica wasn't at fault for the wreck. Denny is the one who pushed her and caused her to wreck. But Danica at some point has to put up or shut up. Nobody is picking on her. She needs to either speed up, learn to handle her car, or get out of the way. I think some of these guys are getting frustrated having to race Danica with a different set of rules as everyone else.
 
She's a bit overrated yeah, if she wasn't female no one would really care. But doesn't matter that she's overrated.

Danica has every right to be pissed off, never seen someone like Hamlin have an apologetic tone after the race before.

For whatever reason and maybe no fault of her own she lost pace before getting hit by Hamlin. You can see the seperation between Danica and the car she was following immediately before the contact.

Also Denny as much as he bothers me is a clean driver. He usually doesnt overdrive his car or talent. I don't think contact was avoidable in this case.

He better watch it with her with her height if she punched him it would really hurt and he'd be speaking in a really high voice.

Well, with all the drivers who can't keep their eyes....errr....their bumpers off her rear I'm just hoping for a solid finish without being wrecked.

Plate tracks are her specialty. It could. happen.

TBH, I would like the first W to happen at the ATL or a roadcourse

I'm laughing so hard the tears are running down my cheeks. Cannot believe this has carried on for 4 pages. Oh, wait --- I forgot the 137 pages of silliness from last year. My, how some posters can carry on.

If the 500 doesn't hurry up and get here, we're all doomed. ROTFLMAO

I knew a girl from texas once...after a statement like that, the next thing out of her mouth was "Bless their hearts"......

I like the part where Gordon got brought into the discussion.

Guy wasn't even in the race.

Well, others were also and it's because they are allowed to get mad, yet from how I been reading this thread people seem to make it seem she shouldn't get mad because she's a girl knowing that the guys can't touch her. They want to call double standard but at the same time, it's a double standard on their part.

LOL

Didn't see that part where she came running at him wild.

So not only was she bangging on his chest she literally ran at him. Jesus the Danica defender in full force today.

I'll say it again, this was a racing deal and she needs to realize that. Denny getting to her a second chance was pure coincidence. Happens all the time.

In fact, when was the last time two drivers got together and didn't get together again soon after?

Danican is not special. She got wrecked. The end.

No one was doing that prior to your posts.

You're obsessed with Gordon. Stop projecting.

Yet I want Gordon to win the championship this season, and Most Popular Driver?

I also mentioned Brad and Kyle in this thread and how when people get up cheering when they are getting crewed out. Fact is people are saying she wants to be treated equal, so if she gets mad and act like she did last night it should be fair game to treat her like one of the boys. Now from how I'm reading that, since she's a girl if she doesn't wanna risk anyone "laying a hand on her" she should just keep her mouth shut.
