Another year and its same ole same ole for Danica

[BPNAZ]

i wanna see her do well

but yet every race I look at the leaderboard and shes running 25th-30th

rinse............and repeat

now, I don't think the entire SHR team is consistently strong right now, but they do have 2 wins already this year. Having said that, if this is how its going to be for rest of 2014, I think she lasts maybe one more season

You could not be more wrong.
Out of the 6 races ran this year, she has improved her finishing position from the previous year at 4 of them.

Daytona- 2013, 8th place==========2014, 40th place
Phoenix- 2013, 39th place=========2014, 36th place
Las Vegas- 2013, 33rd place=======2014, 21st place
Bristol- 2013, 28th place==========2014, 18th place
California- 2013, 26th place========2014, 14th place
Martinsville-2013, 12th place=======2014, 32nd place

^ sarcasm? I can't tell.

Either way, she stinks. When does she finish on the lead lap? I'll tell you when, rarely!

Today @Texas, two laps down.
Last week at Martinsville, 6 laps down.


She reminds me of Montoya, better at Indy cars. Like Montoya, she will be replaced by a better driver hopefully by this upcoming offseason. The garage doesn't care for her either.. except Ricky of course lol

 

[Retroram52]

The undercurrent of sentiment in the garage for Danica is best personified by what Richard Petty characterized her as and it'll be just a matter of time before she follows Montoilet back to the IRL. The only reason she is still around is because she is a pretty good cash cow. All those little girls coming to the track to spend their daddy's money on Danica merchandise. Cha-ching!!

I think she'll eventually go the way of Erin Crocker and Ashley Force. The former who is now Ray Evernham's wife is poppin' out babies just as is the latter in drag racing. Ole Ricky will reel Danica's ass in and she'll be poppin out babies like Erin and Ashley Force soon enough. Sooner or later, the mommy gene takes over.

 

[Psych-Ward]

She will run a car until she wins one, even if NASCAR has to fix one just for her.
She sucks but the ratings would jump through the roof, if only for one week if she won one race.
DaniCANT is nothing more than a draw, a reason for the ratings to totally not bottom out!!!

No, it isn't sarcasm. To say that she has not improved off of last year is ignorant. Yes, she is most likely never going to win a Cup race, and money is the reason she has her ride, but you can add the following drivers that are full time Cup drivers to the never going to win a race list as well:

David Gilliland
AJ Allmendinger
Justin Allgaier
Michael Annett
Michael McDowell
Cole Whitt
Alex Bowman
Reed Sorensen
Parker Kligerman

Kurt Busch has finished on the lead lap in 2 whole races this year, let that sink in for a minute.

 

[Nascar Addict]

She seems to qualify well. But it's hard for her to make decent finishes. She has had a few at plate tracks, though.

I can tell you're a Danica Patrick fan, that's awesome! Granted we're only 7 races into the season, so far I see no improvement from last season., and I've watched every race.

I will agree with you about that list of drivers you posted, the only shot of winning they and Danica have is a restrictor plate race where anything and everything can and does happen. For example:

David Ragan @Talladega last season or
Trevor Bayne @Daytona 2011

As far Kurt Busch this season, he's having bad luck. It's pretty obvious. Besides, he won at Martinsville. Comparing Kurt Busch to Danica Patrick gave me a good chuckle though.

and Texas............27th

and she currently is posting the 36th best practice speed at Darlington

 

[CSD]

I'd wager she'll crash at Darlington tomorrow night, probably take a Chase contender with her lol.

Last year she finished 28th, 5 laps down. Shocker

she wont crash unless she gets taken out.
Reason for it, she cant push the race car & she wont get out of the racing line for the leaders. She just races her line (slowly) making the leaders mad often times. She wont take any chances to wreck in this race. so like I said. if she wrecks it is because she gets taken out or races her boyfriend to hard, then tend to get into each other on the track when they race near each other LOL

 

[jeffro151]

22nd, on the lead lap. Beat the following notable drivers:
Almirola, Vickers, Truex, Ku. Busch, Logano, Kahne, Menard.

 

[CSD]

Weekly update: Richmond finish 34th. 5 laps down

That pretty much sums her up perfectly.

 

[jeffro151]

Any of the haters gonna update this thread? I doubt it.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

She done good last night. She finished 6th or 7th didn't she. She had a good car all night and she kept it in the top 10 all night. At one point she was up to 3rd.

Was she really driving the car? just didn't look like her driving style. LOL

she was fast all night, see if she can keep it going next week.

DW said her and Harvick sat down and Kevin went over the track in detail about braking or dragging the brake and acceleration points. She must have been listening.
