Now does she have sponsers because of her looks?...Sure...more power to her if she can do that as well...

You hit the nail on the head, Goth. She is a talented racer, a bit overrated in my book. She's currently running third in the Indy 500, so that kind of finish would go a long way to shutting up a lot of critics, myself included. And besides, the comparison which was made earlier to Dale Earnhardt Jr. isn't totally unfair. Both are talented drivers who are popular in their respective racing circuits for reasons including but not limited to driving ability.

As I have noted many times before I see no connection between Danica and NASCAR but I will agree that trashing a gender serves no useful purpose in our discussions. If you feel that Danica is overrated then by all means chime in as to why or if you feel she is the best defend your point of view but at the same time lets just leave out the gender bashing side of the issue.

Alright, alright... I think this thread has run its course. Everyone remember that even when we debate issues such as this, we do so for the fun of the discussion and the debate. It's never personal. If there are any hurt feelings, I apologize on behalf of the forum and the entire GoTeamsGo staff.
