I'm not so sure about that. She is great for publicity which is what NASCAR is about now. They may just keep her around.
Also MANY drivers (admittedly in sub-par equipment) have worse records and are still in Cup. I could see it going either way. |

I'll pull for Danica this year because of the rooting she gets here and by stenhouse...she didn't do real bad last year either. Top 15 Daytona '15
|
|
I agree she gets her seat cuz a bit of affirmative action but why the use of the C word ?
Why the hatred? |
|
She'll be about 25-30th in points. Remember she's got Kurt's crew chief from last year now which is a step backwards. When Kurt jumped into her setups the last few races of last year he was pretty fast with Gibson.

She is merely there as eye candy. She has a shitty on camera personality when at the race track. But, it wouldn't surprise me if she won Daytona and makes it in to the chase. |

Contract year for Danic*nt. Either she starts running somewhere other than in the back of the field, or she'll be joining Juan Pablo Montoya back in Indy cars.

lol
so.. read a little while back that the Haas teams arent sharing data. doubt it would help her.. go california ninja! |
|
She's hot, so she'll probably be sticking around. Personally, I wish she'd either pose nude, or fade away into obscurity.

I didn't come up with her nickname, I'll say only that she earned it long before her NASCAR stint. I can tell you, first hand, she is not a pleasant person to be around. |

I've met her a few times at Barber and she is a stone cold ice queen. I'd like to think that it's just because she is unsure of how to deal with the public and she throws up the hostile attitude as a defense mechanism. It's unfortunate. She could grab a huge following if she would just learn from the example of other lady racers and be a gracious presence on both the track and pit. Lots of little girls look up to her and I think she could make a huge impact with minimal PR work. I really don't get her. She's a very strange and remote person. I hope that she gets over whatever it is that is eating at her. |

It has gotta suck for the bottom line.. but she brings a hell of a lot of publicity with her. I'm betting that they more than break even, else she would be gone. I say send her to charm school, get her a nice set of augmented headlights, and get her to pose for Playboy. There would definitely be profit if these steps were followed. |

Missed that one like a champ. Danica - 0 Kyle Bush - 1 She's missed two so far, Kyle is actually -2 I won't count the first one, she just drove along the bottom of the track. Kyle Bush driving through the grass doesn't count even though I'd be happy to see his crash count go up. |

Like Richard Petty said, the only way she'll win a race is if everyone else stays home

She is not going anywhere,she sells and can maintain a sponsor..For reference,just look at Dale Jr. and Anna Kornikova.
