Of course she is, and nobody faults her for that. Staying relevant enough to capitalize on her fame going forward will be tough...And she's not getting any younger or cuter.

She has a 2017 net worth of $60MM, decent, even when compared to other top INDY and NASCAR drivers who have crossed over into celebrity (F1 excluded $$$).

The documentary is loaded with stealthy product promotions, but set that aside. My issue with the video is the focus on image improvement, or "likability". That's what I think backfired. She's too intense, controlling, even emasculating her much younger boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse. The more I get to know her, the less I like her.

I always wished the officials would have let her complete her mission with Ryan Briscoe after that serious march down Indy Pit Row.

Somewhere along the way, a car owner must have had a serious talk with her:

Finally that whiney interview stopped: "The Wreck Wasn't My Fault".......

Maybe she would have done better to kneel during the national anthem?
