I think that it's great that there are finally more women in motorsports and that they are doing well. It doesn't hurt that she is attractive, I'm sure that physical appearance of Tony Steward, Scott Pruit, the Schumacher brothers (although my wife maintains that Michael has a "distinctive chin") hasn't hurt their marketability.
The neat thing about Danica is that she did almost win the FF Festival which is an incredably intense competition, and she did beat Tommy Kendal in equal sedans, and she is beating at least half the field in FA's. She also does a real good interview.
I think that it is almost a sadder commentary on the males in motorsports (including the fans) that they notice her for her physical appearance rather then her abilities.
