Does everyone still hate Danica?

She ran a pretty good race today.. got screwed in the end and kept her cool while being nothing but class in the post race interview..

She needs to learn how to take a love tap late in the race.....she'll need a LOT of good interviews to get over her rep.

Danica has become the driver that closed-minded people love to hate. They remind me of folks that still think every 911 is about to spin around and and crash backwards. Don't confuse them with the facts, their minds are made up.
It won't matter how many races she runs or interviews she gives.

She does appear to like tall skinny guys so I got that going for me

She hasn't learned how to stay out of the way. All the noobs that get into Nationwide too soon have trouble. She needs five years in that series and I don't think anything but her name and gender will justify her being there for another 5 years.

But, we'll see. If she wins more than once in a dominating style, bring me back to this thread so I can eat my words.

I like Danica and I like Sarah Palin. Neither are the best in their respective fields of endeavor, but they both look good doing it!

I think she has become old news. What more can you say about her?

I don't hate her but I think she's the biggest waste of sponsorship money in the current era. Over 160 race starts in her pro career and only one race win*. And yes, there's an asterisk associated with that win.

I'm not saying she can't drive a race car but she's had her turn and it's clear to me that she'll never amount to much. I'd like to see the money wasted on her career spent on the development of some new, young talent with potential. There's not enough money to go around in the racing world these days and there are people with vastly more talent sitting on the sidelines.

I was impressed with her drive yesterday battling Ron Fellows! Who I hate s Rusty Wallace and his Jacques bashing all race. Has he seen hs miserable "racing driver" son on a track?
