Where did Lyn think she was going to go with this off the race line move .
Not sure where you’re going with this. Doc Bundy wrecked all three of them with that punt from the inside lane. Turned two others upside down and set Lyn on fire.
Danica had 191 Cup starts, 7 top ten finishes, 1 pole, and is tied with me for top 5 finishes and wins at 0.
She ran 53,561 laps and led 64 of them.
She did a bit better in an Indy car. A win in 2008 (first by a woman) and was sixth that year overall. In 2009 she was 5th in the rankings and had a 3rd place finish in the Indy 500. Not stellar but I'd say she did OK. Just was never a good fit in NASCAR.
Good looking gal, but a not so good race car driver......and she was given every chance, and then some, to prove she could cut it. She didn't, and that's that.

And; she set a record for finishing 50 consecutive Indy races.
Four other drivers spun out with no warning at the same spot yesterday; including Helio.
I like her. Do any of you bleacher sitters really think you could drive these cars at her skill level or compete heads up with her? I doubt it!
Let's talk about her skill level. Just about any week you can look at the standings, and there she is in 20th to 25th place. She's piled up more cars than a demo derby driver-many of them her competitors. She's just not a good driver. She gets sponsorships because she's very cute, not because she can win races. There's a lot of young up and coming drivers out there who'd kill to have a fraction of the opportunities she's had. But they don't look good in a photo shoot, so they lose out.

She was a novelty. That's how she got sponsors. I'm sure it was mutually beneficial.
A male driver with the same record wouldn't have gotten a fraction of the money thrown at him.

Yep, a guy with her record would have been washed up years ago.

Yes exactly, they just kept her around to lure some women fans to the sport and to prove that they had nothing against women racing, it was kind of a marketing tool.
Too bad she didn't do better, a lot of those wrecks were not her fault, but heck fire when you run every week at mid pack or further back your going to get caught up in that mess on a regular basis.
She actually won a race at Japan in an Indy Car, lead a Indy once and showed some promise at times. There re other ladies that struggle to find sponsorship like Pippa Mann. Mainly because they did not go the swimsuit route to get noticed. Danica went for it and then felt she was unfairly treated. That is where I dislike her. She is the Anna kournikova of motor racing. Limited to passing talent , but good looking enough to get attention..........
