I don't follow NASCAR, but it's easy to catch wind of the hatred towards Danica Patrick. Why do people hate her?

They, the cunt Dale Jr. and his cunty sister demanded a controlling share of the company for a driver with a shitty attitude who was not winning races, as compensation for him staying with the company. Like I said, CUNTS both him and his sister. Having said that, Dale still has a career total of 40 wins and like 2 in the last 5 years, Danica has one out of all her races and that was in IZOD Indy while driving for a team with a good reputation and good crew. |

Poor Richard, been out of the news for so long he can't stand it.

She would kick Petty's ass. Not that she is a great driver, but he won how many races the last few years he competed? He should have quit 5 years before he did.

Quoted: Kind of a no-win situation for RP. View Quote I wouldn't say it's a no win, but pretty close. RP would be a fool to race her. He'd be gambling with a legacy, and if he wins he's just another guy on the list who's beat Patrick. I think in his day he would have no problem wiping the floor with her, but his day is long since gone. Though I don't think nascar requires the athleticism of some of forms of auto racing, 76 is pretty old. |

The best thing to happen to Indycar was Danica leaving. Followed closely by Dario divorcing Ashley Judd. Whenever a race ended they would run to one of those 2 for a comment, and the entire crowd hated it.

I can remember when NASCAR was an exciting sport that stood on talent and innovation. Now it reminds me of a thriving family business that swirls down the toilet when the idiot grandson takes over. This whole thing is nothing more than NASCAR scheming up a cheap publicity stunt because they think it's the only way to keep from losing fans and viewers.

The Danica hate is retarded. She's not RP, but she's a decent driver. It wouldn't surprise me at all if she beats Petty. With only 2 cars on the track, it might be open enough for her. She has problems in the crowd.
She finished 27th in the standings last year so there are a lot of other drivers who finished behind her. I guess none of them deserve a spot on a team either. Guys like Bobby Labonte, David Ragan, and Tony Stewart. She's the NASCAR version of Anna Kournikova (or arfcom favorite Gina Carano), someone who is more famous for her looks than her ability in her chosen sport. |

This is Marketing 101.
It doesn't matter who wins, it's NASCAR PR. If Petty loses, well, he should have lost because he's a 76 yr-old man who hasn't been in a racecar in 25 years. Danica should win because she's a current NASCAR racer. If Petty wins, well, he's the King. Danica doesn't have that experience. |

She will put him in the wall! Of course not on purpose and she will blame someone else for it.

The Danica hate cracks me up. Maybe you guys can answer something for me.
She won the poll at a big race right? Daytona or something? That takes a bit of skill right? Other question is do you think every other driver makes it a point to pressure her on the track more than others?? My guess is yes but I am open to answers. I would bet money on her beating him |

I just had this weird thought Billy Jean King should sit in the passenger seat nagging Richard that he is driving too fast and put Bobby Riggs ashes on the passenger seat loose and have the dust cloud block Danica view I think the handi-cap would be even IIRC he was in his mid 50s and the dike was under 40. It was an, "I am woman hear me roar moment", but the promoters didn't tell us before the match that he would just get one serve and the dike would get two. I believe the dike got to play to the doubles court while he had to play to the singles court. According to the media this single "athletic event" made women the equal of men in tennis. |

She'd kick his ass and Tony knows it.
If it happens it will be at a non NASCAR track like Nashville as Danica can't turn laps at a NASCAR track without that counting as a test session. On most tracks last year she was a tenth off the times Tony and Ryan were putting up. Though later in the year she often matched Mark Martin's practice times. They were all bad in the first half with no SHR cars in the top 20 in points. In the second half, Tony and Ryan picked up wins with cars that were not that great. Tony even said he was lucky to win Dover. Mark Martin did not do that great in the 14. Like a lot of Indy drivers, she has struggled with the looseness of Cup cars. It will be interesting to see how SHR runs out of the gate this year as they were never that great last year. If RP was a tenth off he'd be still running. |

And should one think that Richard believes a woman can never be successful, look at his quote about Janet Guthrie in NASCAR:

The difference is when Petty was running and winning there were maybe 10 cars that actually had a chance of winning, and really, there were only three driver / car / crew combos that were capable of consistent wins. It is totally different today, and there are three times the teams that can win any given week. Back in Petty's time, when he was winning, only a handful of cars actually finished the race on the lead lap die to mechanical problems, and of course wrecks. Most of the teams didn't have cars that could last the distance every week. And don't forget that his wins tapered off dramatically as more capable teams and drivers entered the field, He had stiff competition with Yarborough, Pearson, Baker ( whom my mom actually dated, her dad was from Kannapolis ), but that was really the only real competition he had. |

"Oh yeah. When is this going to happen?" View Quote TPTB at NASCAR and Sprint will make sure this does not happen. The PR negatives far outweigh the positives on this one. She wins, so what, she beat a 70+ year old man. He wins, her being in the sport is a farce. Something happens and he dies, how the hell do you explain that to the soccer Mom looking for the next cause to ban? Think about it. |

Her vagina is the sole reason she races. Without it, she would just be another nobody. I don't even give a shit about NASCAR and I know her tits are the only reason anyone gives a shit about her. I have no idea if Petty would beat her, but I hope he would simply because she needs to STFU and go away. Better yet, find a woman who knows how to race, but that would be a fair fight and no affirmative action warrior wants that. I've seen enough women who are hot shit behind a wheel to know they're out there. They just don't use their tits to get a head start.
