Danica Interview on Speed

[peewee]

I don't think Danica Patrick did herself a lot of good doing that Speed interview with the guy in Charlotte. He asked all the right qiestions. She opened up. I don't think she realized who she was talking to - the NASCAR fans.

She said, I'm paraphrasing of course, because it all came by too fast in real time -

"I open up a magazine, and WOW, that's me. I watch TV and there's a commercial, and WOW, that's ME! My husband and I went to South Africa on a vacation, and nobody knew who I was.. I was like....I enjoy the special treatment better."

She sure can drive, or she wouldn't be where she is.

But....but....but....I can't complete that next thought. I just can't. I'm without words or a storyline, and that's rare.

There is a drinking game in there. Take Danica or the field, who ever gets mentioned has to drink. Whomever has Danica passed out by first Caution.

...Unless the first caution is on the first or second lap because Danica caused it....but she'll be so good looking doing it.

I'm sorry, I've tried to live my whole life not being "down" on anybody because there's plenty enough wrong with me and everybody else in the world. But that interview...it lasted all of two minutes, and I was nearly sickened by it. So that's how the other 1 percent lives. Nossir, I didn't like it, not a whole lot, at least.

I've been following her since she raced karts. This gal has never been told "NO" in her life, and Daddy bought her everything she wanted. So I'm not surprised.

That said, she is a very good driver, and cute. But I don't care about NASCAR, and don't follow the Indy stuff much anymore.

Easy, listen to it on the radio, watch on TV, although you only need the radio, because those guys (Barny Hall, Dave Moody, ETC) paint a mental picture better than anyone in sports, my opinion of course.

So, what's the story? I don't know it, and I don't think a lot of us do, either.

Daddy must have been mighty rich. Yes, I'm showing some resentment here, and it's there in real life. When I was in third grade, when the teacher asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I said race car driver.

I thought it was a career choice. Like any other.

I didn't know it was all about Daddy's background or money. Yeah, I'm pissed about it. So it went a whole different route. 54 years later, (although I wouldn't change a thing because it would have likely been worse), I'm pissed because I didn't have the opportunity to at least try. That was the only dream for the future I had as a kid - race car driver. Driver. I still can't change a spark plug without crossthreading it. Just drive it.

joey logano is no where near danica's talent level

[HoosierL98GTA]

I like her being out there . Yes she's easy on the eyes and has a bit of a temper. Kind of girl every guy likes to watch but not many want to or maybe I should say ,could to live with . Kind of like a youg Tony Stewart.....Her own worst enemy.

peewee... c'mon, man. See a therapist or something.
You CANNOT tell me your life is lessened because she got a ride, and you had no talent for driving.
SUCK IT UP.

You did good, and bought a Stang. When is enough "enough"?
