Danica should not be parked. That was a one-time incident. Busch was a repeat offender. On top of that, he chased down Hornaday under caution and plowed into him. The circumstances are a little different. I think some opinions are strictly based on their dislike of Danica. I am no fan of hers, but I try to look at things objectively.
 
Gotta love Danica people talking about car control. Has she turned in a RP performance without a wreck yet, didn't she complete the cycle and wreck at every Daytona event this year?

...and some people think she is showing promise on RP tracks. :rolleyes:
 
No, but Kyle Busch should not have been parked for what he did at Texas last fall.

Katt , I love you avatar , and I am a longtime Awesum Bill fan , but the comparision between a perennial bad boy like Kyle and mere rookie like Danica just doesn't hold water . Danica did what she needed to do as a rookie and that is , stick up for herself (even given that she was mistaken ). If that was any other young kid trying to establish a presence in Nascar , the incident would have gone unnoticed or perhaps even gotten an atta boy from older fans . No way Danica should have done it under caution , that was a rookie stunt , and assuming that Sam did it intentionally was also a rookie mistake . She's going to learn when and how to retaliate , but she cannot take any crap out there. Give her two years to catch up the ten that she is behind , then compare her to Kyle .
 
Friends this a true story, I wouldn't lie to you.


As Danica walked through the pits, the repeated phrase "I would hit that" was routinely heard.
Danica seemed unbotherd by the vulgarity, but all of the Noblemen were extremely distressed.



The Noblemen were grievously sore, wroth, and filled with all of the other indignant biblical terms. Good men will not abide pure evil. So they formed up a posse, a posse of some the baddest iphone operators ever known to the blogospere.


Somebody was going to pay for treating Danica that way. Once he was found it would be real ugly and nasty. They would take many pictures of him, post them and write some awful things about him. They even planned on doing a Lifetime tv series that would further disgrace him.


So they commenced to hunting. They pursued the Infield Talladega and Gomorrahite all night party in pursuit. Maybe they would hear the sick voice of "I would hit that" and close the case.


Even when "sweet home Alabama" and "Freebird" played the righteous posse stayed on the mission. They hunted all night.
Feeling defeated in the morning they decided simply to trail Danica, maybe the sicko would return.



That was a good call, the closer they got to her the louder the sickening chant sounded. Their anger remained, but failing Danica just broke their hearts and hurt the most.


As they watched Danica and admired her resolve, they saw her reflexively snap her head towards the wall and say "I will hit that", repeatedly.
 
lol Greg. I was wondering where the hell you were going with that. Nice. I guess that's what she said when she saw Sam.
 
Danica Patrick shifts into damage-control mode after wreck

Patrick said she had apologized to Hornish, team owner Roger Penske and NASCAR Nationwide Series director Joe Balash for intentionally bumping Hornish's No. 12 Dodge after Saturday's Aaron's 312.

She said she wasn't clear what had transpired before Hornish seemed to squeeze her into the wall on the final lap. Hornish had a right-front tire going flat and was unable to control his car, but Patrick interpreted the move as intentional.

Patrick said she attempted to deliver her displeasure by tapping Hornish in the rear entering Turn 1 at about 160 mph.

After seeing video of the crash and Hornish's earlier brush with the wall while her plane was taxiing down the runway after the race, Patrick first realized Hornish's tire had gone flat.

"I didn't realize he hit the wall (earlier)," Patrick said. "So I went up to give him a tap (to say), 'I'm not happy with the fact you put me in the wall coming to the checkered flag.' Since his right front was flat, he turned to the right when I tapped him."

Full story here.
 
Sam I was appeared on race hub and said he never apologized to Danica because there wasn't anything to apologize for. Considering the contact Sam had with Joe N earlier, I believe his story.
 
The incident with KB last year and Danica's is totally different, I agree. In Danica's incident, the race was OVER!!! NASCAR should not let ANYBODY including Danica get away with such a chickens*!t move like wrecking someone after the race is over or under yellow. To give someone a bump or a little door action to let them know you aren't happy is a far cry from stuffing someone in a fence at 160 mph after a race. As I said in a previous post, she reminds me of Juan Montoya. She just can't comprehend that some stuff just happens out there. Sometimes you get wrecked and there's nobody to blame. There's no need to retaliate every time something happens.
 
If she had grown up running short tracks around the south , dirt tracks , late models , 25 and 50 lappers ,three nights a week, then yes , she would have all that stupid retaliation stuff beat out of her . But she doesn't come from that Saturday night short track background . Maybe that's why you all don't like her , I don't know . She is learning how to race ,it will take some time.
 
She needs to be careful who she mixes it up with. Montoya gets very little respect because he pissed off to many of the wrong drivers early on, IMO.

She's playing with the good ol' boys now and if she pulls a stunt with someone like Harvick or Biffle, for example, she wont be doing herself any favours.

No , but they get better at it . By the way , when are you going to drop that ugly avatar ? Don't you have one of you with your prom date or something ?
 
I try to look at things as they really are.....Patrick is a female and thus she gets the attention, it has nothing to do with previous wins or championships or anything...she is average at best, but a female, I get it......She is in a mess, trying to live up to the hype....Hornish can retaliate and spin her out after a race if he is so inclined, but I doubt he is so unsure of himself as is Patrick. NASCAR and it's circus like events are a disgrace to real racing. NASCAR will do nothing as they pick and choose when to enforce rules as their record shows. There are legitimate sports, such as the NFL, MLB and others and all have problems of some kind...but with NASCAR they are more like professional wrestling, all show and as fake as a three dollar bill....Sorry to say it, but it is true.

Please continue. I'm very close to not watching anymore.

I just watched the last 12 laps, and it's obvious that Danica runs into Sam BEFORE Sam runs her up to the wall. Elliot is pushing Sam on the low side, while Danica is running on her own at the top. She comes down, maybe to side draft, but she runs right against Elliot and runs into Sam's right rear. Sam gets loose and runs up the track and almost collects Danica. I have a feeling Sam didn't realize that he had been hit and thought he had a flat, or that wrecked front end on Elliots car caused Sam to get loose. Up until then, it's just racing.

Danica tracks him down and runs him hard into the wall. 100% Danica. Sam did nothing wrong. I think Danica was mad because Sam ran her up the track a little 10 laps earlier and cost her 5 or 6 positions with 12 to go, but it wasn't a cheap move by Sam. Just racing.





It was a very hard hit. Sam came very close to hitting the wall head on and was lucky to get it turned back down slightly before hitting. Danica rammed him hard. There was nothing subtle about it.

Danica watched the replay and called Sam on the phone and said she was sorry and Sam accepted her apology.

Don't know if it's Andy...Andy is not afraid to say whats on his mind, but it's pitiful when/if someone has to hide behind a fake name, because they don't want to "ruin" their mr nice guy name.

I was just kidding around there, but you gotta good point. Seems like someone doesn't like NASCAR very much!!!
 


That was intentional. Both of them. I don't care what they are telling the media or who apologized to who. "Boys have at it" is going to get someone killed. Surprising that you'd see this kind of knucklehead behavior from a driver who was driving on a track where someone died. It's going to take another 2001 Daytona incident for NASCAR to change this mentality evidently. Yet another reason I am not a NASCAR fan.
