Danica to Ganassi, eh?

http://www.racer.com/2009/06/danica-set-for-ganassi-in-2010/

I don't have strong feelings either way on this, just thought it was interesting.

Move over Martha Stewart! KMart will have big time competition if Danica goes to Target!

Danica sheets and towels, kitchen accessories and new to the auto section, Danica tires and batteries!

Watch, I bet she'll be worth $100 million before the end of the season.

"bony way"?? Have you seen her arms and neck? She's definitely a product of working out and driving a race car. Good, strong upper body.

Go away for what, so the likes of Ed Carpenter can move up a slot? Sorry, but there are a few sadder cases out there on the track than Danica. What she doesn't have is the nerve to take the constant calculated risks that someone like Castroneves does. She brings home the car in one piece more oft than not and a 2009 average 8th place money.

I'd take that performance on a multi-car team any day. Especially when she brings that kind of notice and sponsor money to the team. I'm sure the other 3 cars get some trickle down effect from her draw. It's all about who's in the pits more than what.

Ganassi’s managing director Mike Hull told Miller: “We’ve always entertained having a third driver if we could get the comparable funding that Target provides us. If Danica has something and wants to talk to us, that would be great because I think she’s ready to take that next step. But I can tell you we haven’t spoken to her.” Given that Zucker will have done all the negotiating with Ganassi’s squad, that last comment will not be regarded as a denial.

well i do know that MARCO wanted to have a talk with her after the Texas race

could be some bad mojo going on at AGR?

I wouldn't want the bosses son on my team. The Andrettis are nothing but whiners. Of course, Danica knows how to whine as well.

There's always bad mojo on any team that is on it's way down.

I feel bad for Tony Kanaan. Trying to tidy up that shipwreck must cause a lot of sleepless nights.

Marco. pffft.

Never seen the long version, but when I saw the TV version I felt sorry for Danica. Go Daddy's ad agency has got to be the worst ever. Maybe that's a good reason to be a "Target" girl.

Word.

Danica is cute, smart, sassy, and those ads just.....suck. I think I could write funnier stuff.
