This thread needs its own T shirt:
Yeah, she grumbles. No shortage of grumblers in racing, pick your format. Rusty Wallace won a championship, but was always searching for answers when he didn't have a good day. Generally it was someone else's fault when thing didn't go well.
Also no shortage of those that did fairly well in other forms of motor racing, that couldn't quite cut it in NASCAR: Montoya, Hornish, Franchitti, Villeneuve, Kinser, just to name a few that did well in some form of open wheel, but never quite got the knack of rasslin' a stock car.
Then we have open wheel boys that did make the cut, like Gordon, Stewart, Newman and a few others.
Danica? She's one of the better female drivers to have gotten a whack at NASCAR. She might be successful, she might not be. Still pretty early yet. If she isn't, won't be much different than the hundreds of other drivers that have tried and failed, over the 30+ years I've been watching NASCAR.
I still recall the Indy 500 post race awards, the year Lyn St. James made the comment about how Steve Kinser was gonna explain to his macho buddies, how he let a woman get past him in that race. Kinser lost it on camera, had to be reminded by those sitting next to him, that they were on camera.
Some guys just got no style.
