Would a regular guy or an ugly girl have the ride Danica has with the same lack of victories?

She is 3 spots behind Tony Stewart in the standings.

About half the drivers out there.

Michael Waltrip went some 800 races before his first win.

I’m no Danica fan, and think she gets a lot more attention than her skills deserve, but most drivers go a long time between wins. Even the good ones.

Check the stats, Danica is a good journeyman driver. Same as 75%-80% of the other drivers.

She is popular because she is attractive and a racer. Not just a woman racer, but a racer. From me that is a high complement.

When you consider her finishes,

Yes

Danica seems to understand something that only a select few of the Male racers in NASCAR do well.

MARKETING.... And bringing your own money with you.

When Danica takes the lead, every female in the stands cheers for her. I’ve seen it personally. The only one the crowd cheers louder for is Dale Jr.. And she has improved greatly in the second half of the season.

“Would a regular guy or an ugly girl have the ride Danica has with the same lack of victories?”

You mean a “Regular Guy” like J.J. Yeley? Or Paul MENARD? Or Brendon Gaughan? The ONLY reason that they have rides, at all, is because of the big money behind them personally.

Yes, she may be in denial that it’s not all about her merits...

She may not have all that many wins but finishes in the money most of the time. She is a good driver in a tough sport
