wrecker388 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Haha. That was pretty funny. I agree with Harry about her "fall flat" comment.
Mike Kucaba Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 No No Danno ... It's YOU GO! SHOWGURL!!
charlie8575 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 She looks like a midget in comparison. Charlie Larkin
Harry P. Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 She looks like a midget in comparison. Charlie Larkin She's very "petite." Maybe 5 feet tall? 100 pounds? A small girl, for sure, but cute as a bug.
Danno Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 She's very "petite." Maybe 5 feet tall? 100 pounds? A small girl, for sure, but cute as a bug. And when she flashes that smile, well . . . in person, she's Hot! petite or not.
Rob Hall Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 And when she flashes that smile, well . . . in person, she's Hot! petite or not. Yes she is...I've seen her in person a couple of times. And now that her major sponsor (based here in AZ) is a client of my company, maybe I'll get to meet her and say hi..
lordairgtar Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Daniel Tosh on Danica Patrick Tosh is an idiot. The Last Place comment is undeserving. Rarely has she been in last place. There are generally 10 to 15 drivers behind her every race but they are never made fun of because they are guys and we all know those guys are better than Danica....NOT. And she is very pretty to my eyes. Love her smile.
Danno Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Yes she is...I've seen her in person a couple of times. And now that her major sponsor (based here in AZ) is a client of my company, maybe I'll get to meet her and say hi.. I've said 'Hi' and a little more, more than once. She had a mailbox at the same UPS Store as I. Ran into her a couple of times. Sweeeeeeeeet. Then the Lovely and Gracious Mrs. B decided I didn't need to spend so much time and the mailbox and she started picking up the mail. Dang!

Oh, she's a doll, no doubt about it, but boy, is she tiny! Guess you almost have to be to fit into Indy/F-1 cars. Charlie Larkin
Custom Hearse Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Richard petty gives his opinion of Danica Patricks chances of winning... http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nascar-from-the-marbles/richard-petty-doesn-t-danica-chances-winning-says-163159096--nascar.html
PappyD340 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I read that yesterday too, and thought, man I don't ever remember Richard ever cutting anyone down like that before, must be more to it than meets the eye!!
mikemodeler Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 He doesn't mince words on the subject but does admit that she is good for publicity for the sport. I find it funny how Tony Stewart has no problem having her on his team (because she came with sponsorship no doubt) despite a lack of competitiveness while he was upset his partner added Kurt Busch who demonstrated last year that he could drive a race car and contend for wins more often than Danica.
ZTony8 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I was never a huge Petty fan.I respect his winning 7 championships and his goodwill ambassador role.But I've always thought that getting 200 wins was over blown.It was a lot easier to rack up wins when the circuit raced 3 and 4 times a week for several years at short tracks in the southeast.Put that many races on the schedule now and see how many drivers quickly pile up the wins.
Quick GMC Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 He's not wrong, but it doesn't mean Danica's presence doesn't mean anything. Inevitably, somewhere down the road, women will be racing and winning, and Danica will be remembered as someone who initiated that. I don't think it's fair to say she's not a race car driver (Kyle Petty), but if she's not winning, she's not winning. And Richard is right, because she's a woman, she's garnered a lot of attention and it's been good for the sport.

Thatswhatshesaid Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I think the weight advantage goes out the window when you factor in her driving abilities.

That is the only reason why SHR has her in a car, is the pay check that they get to cash from Go Daddy, and that is not a slam on Danica, that is a fact, NASCAR has become a pay to drive, and anyone with the right amount of money can go racing, its sad, but that is the world we live in. So many talented drivers are sitting at home watching the races on TV because they dont have a big check book to put them in a race car. I would love to see what Johanna Long could do with the top level equipment that Danica has, She is a very talented driver , and did very well for driving third rate race cars for team that pretty much no budget Edited February 15, 2014 by martinfan5
Dirt Demon Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Well with a new Nascar season in full swing and all these awesome Nascar builds.....nobody is building a Danica Patrick GoDaddy car?.....
