But I thought Newman was the driver that issued impromptu racing challenges on the streets of New York?
EA, you've lied to us again

Was just thinking of "Showdowns"

I miss NASCAR 05

See the thing is, if she wins, the argument will be, 'She beat someone that hasn't raced in years,' but if she loses, 'She lost to someone that hasn't raced in years'.

But in reality it's like riding a bike..

 

[nascarfan1400]

Where will it be at, and when?

Can't be soon enough

 

[Dolph Drago]

Not at all. His statements about Danica have been no different from what everyone else critical of her have said.

Agreed. He just said what the rest of us (or most of us) think. I don't think it's a bitter old man thing.

 

[Carbonox]

All (well, most) of us make it very clear Princess Sparkle Pony is a talentless hack, but when a 7-time champion says that, he's being referred to as old and bitter.

Something smells fishy here, and it ain't my dinner.

Your the only person I've seen say it so far. I'd much rather see you take her on in equal machinery. Have your rear end handed to you on a plate.

I am not a race car driver.

However, to me, nothing looks more stupid than a driver finishing in the 30's in a top 10 car and holding on to the seat only because she has a vagina and thus brings in more sponsorship money than a male driver with the same amount of talent would ever get.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Is danica the best? No.
Did she earn the names sparkle pony and Danicrash? Sure.
Does an old man who does not have a clue how to drive a modern day NASCAR car have any right to call her out? No.


So why do we do it? Because we are ignorant race fans, and TV and grandstand views don't do justice.

Petty Bashers- The internet has search engines, two minutes searching "Danica criticism" will keep you entertained.

This event- Stupid. It would be nice to see The King race...except that his last win was win 200, and that was a decade before he finally hung it up. He lost it looooong ago.

Is that Danicas fault? Does she deserve the bashing and put downs because of how motorsport economics work? Where are the people bashing Stewart-Haas, they are the ones putting her in the seat. Where are the people bashing GoDaddy? The people funding her drive?

Its lame and pathetic because unfortunately for her, people will pay money to keep a woman in top flight racing to make more money. Yes she has earned her supposed nicknames but no she has not earned the misguided abuse she gets.

GoDaddy is driven by "sex sells", which is probably most likely the reason they dropped their sponsorship of James Hinchcliffe, even though he won multiple races last season and has a highly marketable personality to go along with his talent.

Are you a frequent reader of NASCAR related things outside this website? Because I frequently see both of those things happening, especially after GoDaddy dropped Hinchcliffe.

Also, Danica gets tons of undeserved flack, but than again, so do most pay-drivers that end up in a higher-tier car in any major series(See Pastor Maldonado).

They dropped Hinchcliffe? Wow, it all makes sense now.

Yeah. His new sponsor is United Fiber & Data.

 

[nascarfan1400]

Wow...

I'm talking about this forum. I've seen the comment sections on NASCAR.com and you don't want my view on that.

On another note, what do you guys think of the website?

I applied to write there and only want to if it's actually a visually appealing place to other people

Ah.

Are you the same RedWingsRule as over at the NTG Forums?

 

[Liquid]

This is a PR nightmare I want to see happen.

Petty is 75, he'll get his arse kicked and nothing will be proven and it won't help anyone. Must see TV.

 

[RACECAR]

I love that people are actually taking this seriously as if it'll actually happen.

And people, stop defending Danica. She's here in the top series for the same reason Pastor Maldonado is in F1: Money. She's getting flack like most of the other pay driver are, because its all cash & no talent. Until she actually starts being competitive, she's going to continue getting flack like every other undeserving pay driver.

 

[nascarfan1400]

It may: Smokes a man of his word.

Sadly.
