Danica

[Squirrel]

Wow! Jr was lucky that was a bad one.

[Matt Foley]

Mr. Ed about killed half the field.

Damn they got Kyle too!! Well I guess Tony will win... yet again... Thanks Edwards.... Maybe Mr. Keselowski will get it done today.... He's been running good all day

[Squirrel]

Harvick is still going to win this one.

Harvick is still going to win this one.

I turned the TV off when he went sideways and into the grass. Turned it back on a couple minutes ago and saw he was in 6th. Gotta love it.

Did anyone notice this?

On lap 7 Danica "did a fantastic job" of avoiding the Bliss-Baine accident by driving straight forward. We heard about this for 5 minutes, complete with zoomed-in stop-motion replays and John Madden-talking-about-Brett-Favre-esque ass-kissing.

On the big wreck (where Junior was upside down) Vickers actually made an incredible move to avoid the wreck which took place literally two car lengths ahead of him. We didn't hear a word about it.

This is exactly what I was talking about in my earlier post!!! The broadcast made me happy she was out of the race (Which still didn't stop the amount of time she was getting from the commentators).

I really hope the nationwide series won't continue to be covered as the Danica Series.... If so I don't know how much I can watch.... I honeslty felt today was WORST than Madden-Farve Ass Kissing!!!! Thats pretty bad ESPN.

The Nationwide Series is going to be the Danica Show for every race she enters. But you really can't fault the network for that because people are tuning in to watch her. She's definitely getting more credit than she deserves though. If any other rookie driver ran in the 20's all day they wouldn't have had a word mentioned about them.

By wrecking in the race, Danica put the Nationwide Series on the front page of espn.com. The NASCAR people aren't upset that she's getting all the pub because a rising tide lifts all boats.

Like Nelson Piquet Jr, who in the first two oval races of his life has two top-10s.

Now Jr fans know how the rest of us felt over the years.

[Mr. Scot]

Has anyone thought about the extreme advantage she has over other drivers because of her weight? Not as much as she enjoyed in open wheel (where weight distribution is even more hypersensitive), but still huge. I remember a story about Michael Waltrip and Jimmy Spencer asking NASCAR for something that could make up for the 100 pounds they had on most other drivers.

I've been wondering when they're going to fix that height advantage in the NBA. The rules are unfair to shorter players :sosp:

I get what you're saying, but as others have mentioned, it balances out.

[Bobby]

So that's how she does on a normal track.

[Mayor Qumiby]

yea on her 1st time out..
