I honestly have no problem with Danica racing, she is no more dangerous than any of the others on the track, that is one busy place, I don't see how anyone can listen to so many people and drive a race car at over 200mph, it blows my mind, but can you honestly say that no one on the race track, is not capable of making a mistake, or getting caught up in a wreck, I'll tell you what concerns me more than Danica, is the announcers, they screw up big time, all the time, to listen to them, they should be the crewchief, or spotter, I'd just as soon race with her, as anyone else, she seems to be focused a lot more than others, and as far as the media, they got a hot rock in their hands, and so does GoDaddy, can anyone else conjure up that kind of sponsorship, and following, I look at her as a driver, and how she has adapted, both in Indy car, and Nascar, I'd wager she has brought a lot of people off the couch, and into their motorhomes over the past 3 years of a declining economy, than anyone else has, just try getting a sponsor sometime, or someone to drive for, what she does off track is of little concern to me, just like any of the other drivers, I think there is a lot of prejudice being floated about her, and maybe a lot of jealousy, but from what I've seen, she is as capable, maybe more so, than a lot of them on the track, what about Stevie Wallace, was he dangerous, Hell yes, to put it mildly, I wasn't going to add my 2 cents to this, but I've enjoyed watching her progress, just as I have several male drivers, it isn't her fault she gets most of the attention, that's the kind of stuff that sells tickets, and pays peoples salaries, and she must be in darned good condition, physically, she's had some pretty hard knocks, and it doesn't seem to bother her anymore than the guys, so I say, let her alone, she has her place on the track, just like Jeffy, or Jimmie, I don't let it bother me, she isn't taking anything away from anyone, if someone is qualified, and can bring attention and money to the game, let it begin! JMHO Bob!
