Not to Danica-Bash..but..
That seemed to be a very subtle/minor rear end tap that sent her into a spin/wall today in the NNS show.
It seems to me she way overcorrected/reacted and thus her subsequent moves, after the tap, is what really sent her sideways. What does the brain trust think?? i am not a Danica basher at all (but not a fan) ...but it seems that the nascar boys routinely bump and grind a helluva a lot harder than that love tap...and she will have to learn how to deal with that asap if she is to survive..! oh well in addition to the normal nascar bs we now must deal with D-envy at every stop....i just hope the revenue allows better F1 or ALMS coverage.. |

Did you see the crash she went through on Thurs? 10 years ago it would have killed her just like Dale, Adam Petty and a couple others.

She will end up earning her living on a pole.

It seems this year there have been many big crashes. While not a Danica cheerleader I think she's done a commendable job. Those cars are not easy to drive

Crash Thursday and again on Saturday....I think she could have avoided the wall in the Nationwide "Tap"....
Big difference in her demeanor on camera after each incident....I think she got "Talked to".......I think she's progressing as a Nascar Driver, but way too serious in my book.....Pity her husband...

Micheal Waltrip had the same type of crash with nobody near him, in the duals the other day. May be a trait of the cars this yr. She sure is quick to fill her filthy, little,mouth with blame though. I'm leaning towards thumbs down on Ms.D. In over her head at this point.

Kinda sucks to get taken out by your teammate.

If Danica Patrick can get a Nascar machine around a track at race speed for 1 lap, then she has my respect.
She's an entertainer. She's beautiful. And she can drive a race car in a manner that would scare the hell out of 90% of men. |

I hope she does well. I don't have it in me to wish any racer ill-will.

She's better than some and not as good as others.
I just wish she'd wear some sunglasses that didn't make her look so stupid. |

I was very impressed with her speaking abilities when I watched her late last night on C-Span TV.
National Press Club Luncheon with Danica Patrick NPC Luncheon with Danica Patrick | The National Press Club Intelligent and creative are the descriptors I would attach to her after hearing her speak.
