Danica won't get taken out of the car for whining. She drives for JR motorsports. Owned by Earnheart Jr. He is one of the biggest whiners about his Cup cars. It may have changed this season, but last season he was ALWAYS whining about how they were set up, etc. etc. Despite a 104 race losing streak (almost broken last night, but ran out of fuel in the last corner in his National Guard car...deja vu?) he's one of the hottest properties in NASCAR. He suffers from being a racing celebrity as well with a father who was loved/hated, depending on where you sit.

Agreed. Junior is the Andretti of NASCAR (well, except for John Andretti, I suppose). He hasn't filled the Intimidator's shoes, and never will with his attitude. The Intimidator made
other people whine.
I wish Danica well, and agree she can drive, but she's progressing too slowly--if she didn't look like a supermodel she'd be gone by now. That said, she's great for the sport.
Graham Rahal, Simona DiSilvestro, and JR Hildebrand are the youngsters to watch, IMO.
