Sales rose I think because it was on a big promotion.

I want that shirt SR has.
I don't see how marriage will affect her racing any more than it would affect another driver. Nobody seems to feel this way about Dale Jr.s recent wedding.http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article124346019.html
Is NASCAR’s Danica Patrick next for the aisle?
I will be mad if this happens. I would prefer her in the shop working with Billy on how to get better and reading racing books at night. sadly....
combine it with the clothing line and a possible BABY, Im worried as heckI don't see how marriage will affect her racing any more than it would affect another driver. Nobody seems to feel this way about Dale Jr.s recent wedding.

I dunno how much she has to do with the clothes. Many of those deals are 'name only' with little or no input from the celebrity.combine it with the clothing line and a possible BABY, Im worried as heck

Possible baby? Where the heck do you get that from?
Good for him. I wish he'd run the Truck race at his own track. I suspect he's having too much fun running that show to waste time participating.Lee Spencer @CandiceSpencer 17h17 hours ago
.@TonyStewart tells @RacinBoys @CookScotty that he has 71 races scheduled for this season and looks to add 10-15 more #NASCAR @cbnationals
Not sure if you subscribe to SiriusXM NASCAR Radio or not but Danica was on Claire B Lang's show one night earlier this week. I listened to the replay this morning. She's all about this new clothing line and workout book she's got coming out. Contrary to popular belief, she sounds like she's spending a tremendous amount of time on those two projects.she has vaguely mentioned it..enough to scare this fan

When asked about how long she wants to race, she replied, the she doesn't know what the time frame is. She said though that the most important thing is having fun and running well on the track. She said running 20th or 25th is not fun so she said she will not do that forever as she has so many other things going on. She said that if that is how it is going to continue to go, she doesn't need to do it. She wants to be running in the top 15 and have much better finishes.
I gotta tell you. I get the impression from the interview that if things don't improve, she'll be moving on..... and soon.
I think my 'she' count on that post is somewhere about 12.
My daughter doesn't really follow Nascar but she does follow Danica.Nascar has taken some hits,Stewart,Gordon,Edwards retirements,Jr. medical problems,fans not watching.It is like watching a boxing match and one boxer taking hit after hit,and you question how long he can last.yeah...Im scared as heck and to the haters that say she doesnt care how she runs she just wants to run, thats just not true.
yeah...Im scared as heck and to the haters that say she doesnt care how she runs she just wants to run, thats just not true.
But does she really care how she runs? Did Martin Truex just say "whatever, I'm done" when he wasn't running well? Did Kurt Busch call it quits in the low of his career? No, because those guys are racecar drivers through and through and corporate faces second.
I just don't understand what it is people don't get. It isn't about being a "hater". I don't hate her. But she is not a racecar driver like Kevin Harvick or Brad Keselowski are racecar drivers. She's here to get maximum exposure and make a ton of money. Which is fine, because good for her honestly. But I don't believe she gives a damn about ever actually winning a championship, or even getting a top 5 for that matter, except to further promote herself for capital gain. She's the Paul Menard of SHR, seriously. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if she retired after her current contract expires (which would allow SHR to give Cole Custer the seat) and then she goes on to be a Jillian Michaels type like she wants to be and make money in the fitness and "active clothing" world for the next several years due to the notoriety she gained as a female in a "man's sport".
I agree.
I really hoped she would have been competing for better finishes by now, because a competitive Danica is good for Nascar. I want to see her run up front. But there will come a time where she still isn't showing improvement and she decides to hang it up. Sad but true.

I really don't see another Roush win....... unless it's a fluke.....I thought Ricky would win by now. Matt did well in the #17

anyone who has seen her leave school to drive formula fords and see the hard hits she has taken in indycar knows she races cause she WANTS to...money is not everything...as seen by carl edwards retirement.
Damn I miss him. I wish that he was alive and well and still in the booth.Been 10 years today.
“I think Roush has made all of the right, now, decisions and changes within their organization to truly embrace becoming more of an engineering-led organization and putting the technology into these cars as opposed to just bolting some stuff together and going out on the racetrack,’’ Pericak told NBC Sports.
“I think there has been a huge acknowledgement on their side that there has to be a shift within their own organization, a shift within their leadership. We’ve helped them on a technical side of things to get their equipment up to speed. I’m optimistic that this year you’re going to see all of that coming together and you should see better performance out of that Roush organization.’’
Stewart told Motorsport.com that the first of his 70-plus race schedule will kick off at Bubba Raceway Park on Feb. 9-11 in Ocala, Fla. If all goes according to plan, Stewart will join the series the following week at Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville, Fla.
“I will be (at Volusia) but if I don’t run, Christopher Bell will run the car.” said Stewart following a press conference at Ford Performance Center in Concord, N.C. “It just depends on how I do and how I feel after running Ocala.
.....
As for his own track -- Eldora Speedway -- Stewart says the only thing we’ll be driving is “the tractor”. The Knoxville Nationals is also a possibility, although Stewart doesn’t expect to be ready for the 2017 event. Still, he’s not ruling it out racing at the Iowa classic in the future.
.....
Racing on pavement is also on Stewart’s short list. Although he was disappointed that an opportunity didn't fall through for Le Mans, Stewart would like to run sports cars in the future. One of the benefits of team ownership — and adding Xfinity teams at Stewart-Haas Racing — is the potential of running one-offs particularly at road courses.
Stewart is also looking forward to his debut in the Little 500 in Anderson, Ind.
“It’s a 500-lap race the night before the Indy 500,” Stewart said. “I’ve never ran it, so it’s been a bucket list race that I’m going to run. You want to qualify on the front row cause it’s 500 laps.”
Interesting. I didn't know most of this.
What happened to...Rick Mast? Rick Mast was one of the more popular drivers to longtime NASCAR fans throughout the 1990's and early 2000's. Mast, from the tiny town of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, was known for his loyalty and dedication. He enjoyed a solid career in NASCAR's top two national series before an illness cut his driving career short in 2002.

Rick..... along with half the field years ago drove for Junie Donalevey....... you are right that it was average equipment... and they done the best that they could.... because Junie gave them the best he could... as long as I live... I will give accoladesJunie to Junie Donalevey and all the drivers who passed thru his garage....... I really don't think Junie ever thought how many drivers he might help by him being so resilient in his racing endeavors......Rick Mast is awesome. IMO, he's one of the best to never win a Cup race. Very underrated driver who had a couple good years in average equipment.
