Too much of pro racing is either driver's with the deepest pockets or the best at marketing.
Teams gotta pay bills so its show us your Deep pockets or marketing skills, then we will consider driving skill.
As if your marketing skills should be included with race results.
For example Xyz driver finished 19th but she can market her sponsor like a top 10 driver.
I think even Danica would take that as a back handed compliment.
I'm not going to miss Danica's gift of selling lady products during Nascar races. lol

Professional top level racing has always been this way, ever since money became part of the equation
Without it racing teams wouldn't survive as there would be no sponsors
Not a Dancia fan but she deserves a good result, not because she is fastest but because she out lasted a lot of good ole boys in essentially a mans world
Wish there were more women involved in top level racing
