If someone wanted to pay YOU $300K when, IMO, you had a suspect performance resume, do you actually think that anyone would care?
Just remember, she's out there driving 220+ MPH, are you?
IMO, Jr is a bigger failure than Danica' after all the other three HMS cars finished 1/2/3 this year.
Her one win (that is an entirely seperate debate in itself). Her one win puts her in the same catagory are RHR, Airton Dare, and countless other one win people. She has been hyped as the next great American driver for 5 years now at the so called "top" AOWR series. Still if you look at it she has been a complete failure.
If I had a paying sponsor, I would be out there going 220 mph+ also. But then again, do we need another Didier Andre, Jack Miller, E.J. Viso, Hideki Mutoh, or one of the other countless drivers who got more money than their talent level qualified them for?
