Danica Patrick in NASCAR

[hoax]

I hardly call this a good driver:

81 Starts
16 Top 5's
1 Win
She does have 46 Top 10 finishes, but an IRL racing field is usually 20 cars. Not 45ish like NASCAR. So she finishes in the top 50% half the time. Thats like mid 20's in NASCAR.

Sorry, but she screams mediocrity.

But you are right, she is attractive so will bring in the money. Another mediocre driver (Dale Jr) will be making alot of money on this as well.

There are alot of mediocre drivers in nascar. Heck most average fans can only name off a handful of drivers. Lets see how I do

Jeff Gordon
Jimmy Johnson
Mark Waltrip
Dale Jr
Danica Patrick
Mark Martin
Rusty Wallace
and some dude names sorenson (sp?)

umm yeah that's pretty much what I got

If you ask most people I bet Danica Patrick would be included with them names of a lot of good drivers.

Name recognition and looks sell, especially hot girls racing cars and doing "risque" go daddy commercials. I'm a red blooded American man I'll watch a hot girl half ass something for a few hours.
