There's been a few other women through the years in open wheel pro level racing but none exploited as a sex symbol and if had, it was never intentional. I've met Janet Guthrie and she's an interesting, intelligent person. Talk about a breakthrough and what she had to do get in with the boys and it was not about sponsors and money. D. Patrick no doubt is serious about her racing but the sex exploitation is her priority. Its all about the bottom line with agent management. The leagues flat out have bought her gig and she's rich because of it and not rich from winnings.
I gave my opinion, won't say much more about it but I know many behind the Indy car scene that are hoping the Patrick fanism is long gone. Yes, there were differences of what happened between IRL and CART with Penske or Forsythe but neither would ever go for this Danica Patrick crap.
No further commentary.
