Thats a cool paint scheme. Too bad it wont have someone who can put it in the top 10 driving it.

Those new cars are sweet looking! Second race for them this season. I heard on SNR that the noses have been going into the wind tunnel for CUP Series testing with the different makes/models producing similar numbers. I don't think it will be all that long before this starts to be transferred over to the Cup Series.

Very cool pic, thanks for posting that. Did you take that?

A top 20 isn't out of the question for her this race, would love to see her do well and shut up the butthole, rednecks.

That car is capable of being in the top 5 with the right driver and I'm not a redneck and how's speaking the truth being a butthole?

What makes you think I was talking about anyone around here? For the most part everyone around here is fairly polite. I'm talking about some of the real dirt bag, idiot, rednecks that can barely speak English that you run into in public or on other message boards that are complete dicks about having her in nascar, or even IRL and F1 drivers in general for that matter.
 
I can't stand Danica and it has nothing to do with her being a female (I like the Force sisters over in NHRA) It has to do with her attitude. She thinks she is better then she really is. That's why I hate her and why I enjoy seeing her fail.

btw I'm the farthest thing you can get from a redneck, I live in NYC.

well that has to be a first. a driver that has a high opinion of their self. <g> personally, i think if you don't have a high opinion of your skills you don't belong on the track.
 
DanicaFan said:
No. Indycar needs her. It is honestly where she belongs and I prefer her staying in the Indycar series.

I disagree. IRL is circling the drain and has been getting worse every year. There is still hope for NASCAR. I think Danica sees this and is preparing for the future.

Exactly. You'd better have a high degree of confidence to be a driver to expect success. I'd think the ones that don't shouldn't be there. That translates to most everything in life IMO.
 
Thanks for the info, DanicaFan.

I'm have no idea why some people have such a problem with you being a Patrick fan but way to keep your chin up around here and not fall for the trolling.

It's one thing to have a high opinion of your self and be good. It's another thing to have it and suck.

I have no problem with anybody having their favorites but when they dump on somebody elses favorite be prepared to get dumped back.

I just like messin' with him.

To be perfectly honest, her career stats aren't bad at all for someone just starting out in the NASCAR Nationwide Series (or in stock cars altogether), especially considering the Nationwide Series races she's been in have had 15+ Cup drivers in them. I think she's a top 10 driver in that series if the Cup regulars go run Cup exclusively.

That said, I just love to mess with Danica fans. DanicaFan does take a lot of abuse around here.
 
Danica Patrick's doing good this weekend -- real good. 17th quick in Nationwide Series Final Practice outpacing Kyle Busch, Reed Sorenson and Brendan Gaughan.

:idunno: OK who hijacked Andy's log in :idunno:
Click to expand...
Huh, have you seen many of his posts? He can swing from here to there in a milisecond. Just wait for him to support some driver you've never heard of. By the way, who's Andy Lally? Only the Shadow (Andy) knows!
Don't ask Andy, you wouldn't know. Look it up. :p

Hey Buck, would you like that fried or scrambled? :owned:

What are you talking about Andy? Of course I've heard of Lally, but he hasn't done anything in NASCAR than Danica hasn't done. My point is that you seem to pick out these newcomers and cheer them on, but when they go by the wayside, you don't say much. Would you like for me to name a bunch of drivers that were very successful in their series that you probably have never heard of? Let's just see if you can right off the top of your head name a few drivers that Jeff Gordon raced against in USAC when he was but a 16 year old kid...and beating their butts? Some of those guys were very big names in racing, yet many never heard of them. Lally is good or he wouldn't be where he is today. Now Andy, if you're going to serve up the eggs, make mine sunny side up with a side of bacon. Oh, and lightly toast the bread. Now pour me a cup of coffee and get your butt back to work. :cool:

Did you hear Ryan Truex's interview? He was jazzed about his second place starting spot and Marty said "Look at him, he's like a little kid!' Ryan answered "I am a little kid!" :D
