Danica just grabbed the Pole for the Nationwide Daytona 500! She's got something tougher than balls,a vagina, those can take a pounding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Danica you go girl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

I like Danica and she is in the Daytona 500, but what she won and deserves props for is the pole position for the Nationwide Drive4COPD 300 race which is obviously NOT the Daytona 500...

Yep, starts last as she kinda tore up her original car ... Nope.. she didn't tear it up, she had a LOT of help with that one. Nobody, not even the revered Dale Sr. could have saved that car. I am impressed she could come out and set fastest lap and get the pole for the 300 after a crash like that. |

Well Clay ... the report that I read said she needed to go to the backup car and by the rules, starts dead last in the 500 field.
Duck Tape and JB Weld wouldn't fix what I saw in the picture. Fortunately, I don't care anyway. |

Yes, she is charismatic, yes she is a good driver.
Give me a shot in her car with a few laps, and I can best any time she can drive. Or I will eat a (1/2) pound of her shit. I'm just sayin'. This is not my first rodeo. |

I dont really care for Danica, but John she would smoke you in any car, anytime. She is a "PROFESSIONAL" race car driver with 1000x more seat time then you. Do you think you could win a Indycar race if they put you in a car right now?

She couldn't win an Indy Car Race if they her back in a seat - her 1 Win was a Fluke, all fuel mileage related

Yes, it's true she would outrun ant of us without breaking a sweat! If you want a humbling experience, go to you local kart track on a day before they have a club race, you'll find multiple 12-20 yr old kids that will make you look like a turtle! Lol...

As with all racing, power to weight ratio is her favor ( or also the kids at the kart track). And good looks don't hurt sponsorship money as well!
