Interesting... I'm curious to see how shes handles it. I mean, she's not the most aggressive driver out there....

You think she gets frustrated in Indycar we haven't seen anything yet. She will be rubbing with the "Good Ole Boys" and I predict she will get run over a few times, and we should see some real temper tantrums from her.

Well.....it's rare that I ever post on these kind of topics because I just don't follow the series with any real dedication....but, I've had a few beers and had a good day at work, so, ........ here goes.

Danica is incedibly smart because she well knows that her "day in the sun & limelight" is limited. The opportunity to make big money in your favorite hobby is a dream come true. Indy is what got her to this point in the career path, and regardless of what you may think, she can indeed actually drive fairly well. However, some marketing guru started to instill upon her that there is more money in the image than the racing. She is a fine looking young lady that seems to have the natural ambition to"stir the pot". This was recognized by the powers to be and there you have it......a seemingly dormat, quiet race circuit that needed "spice" to draw attention and corporate revenue.

Nascar is entering the same issue: a dwindling customer base, loss of revenue and people tired of seeing the same crap year after year. Now, put Danica into the picture, and tell me that each and every one of you will not watch her on the first race that she drives. DOINK....new viewers to the circuit and typically, those incremental numbers stimulate increased revenue for the viewers and the corporate sponsers. Its a real smart marketing move from all sides. A little bit of Indy; a little bit of Nascar, and who knows......maybe later, a little bit of NHRA.

Until she gets pregnant, or has the infamous Tiger Woods moral meltdown, all chapters of car racing will benefit from her involvement. At this rate, she may well become the world's first female Billionaire based upon the receipt$ of her "marketing" of her skill sets and physical assets.

*.............and for those that partook of her two photo oppotunites in the Tampa Hard Rock Parking Garages, glory be to you and the grand children that you tell this story to ........you were there !!!!

Yours truely

Scott

You can take a girl out of the trailer park..... and apparently you can now put her back.



Hahaha! I kid, i kid... it'll be intriguing to me to see how much media hoopla is generated over this...

... we will see... Feb 6th @ Daytona in the ARCA race apparently.

ROAD TRIP!!

Danica will be making her debut in the ARCA Open test at Daytona on December 18, 19, & 20 and it is open to the public. (FREE)

"However, Patrick's stock car adventure will start at Daytona in the three-day ARCA Series open test December 18, 19 and 20.

Our plans are to be at Daytona for the ARCA test," said Patrick in a news conference in Phoenix, Arizona. "So that's our primary focus right now."


So who is up for a meet at Daytona on Saturday (12/19) to see Danica?
