Her Points standings have steadily improved every year from the time she started, which means she is still learning. I believe, with all of her accomplishments as a woman in racing, even if she had never posed in a bikini, there would still be a lot of hype surrounding her. The attention is well earned and well deserved.
Danica Patrick IRL Championship standings:
2005--12
2006--9
2007--7
2008--6
2009--5
IRL stats from 2005 through 2009--Laps led 110; Races 81; Poles 3; wins 1; Top 5 finishes 16; Top 10 43
Your point being what?
Hornish had far more accomplishments than her and got very little coverage hen he went over.
I fixed your post for you and no thank you's are needed.
