Her sponsorship has nothing at all to do with profesionalism, or talent it is simply due to the fact that she is marketable because she is an attractive female in a male dominated sport.
Does she have talent?
Yes
Is she good for the IRL?
Yes
Did last years Japan winner get this much press?
No
If she was male would she have the ride she does?
No
If she was male would they have put up with her attitude to this point?
Not a chance
Is it good for someone to show emotion in victory lane?
Yes but she was not emotional she was hystical and could barely speak. Take an extra lap to get ahold of yourself if you need it . She almost seemed as suprized as anyone that she won
Act like you have been there before
Every year she gets more press after the 500 then the winner gets.
I do not see the drivers as male, females, American, Foreginers, white, black, yellow or green. I only judge them for how they conduct themselves and how they preform.
Danica is in the same league as Dale Jr. they may have a good run every now but they are not consistant enough from week to week to be a constant front runner. However they will always be a fan favorite and never lack sponsorship due to their actions off of the track
