If so, then she's changed. She used to be an arrogant whiner.

A few months ago, Danica was visiting those guys at American
Chopper.Paul Teutul Sr.was sitting in the back seat of a Hummer, Mikey
Teutul was driving and Danica was sitting next to Mikey.They went to a
race track somewhere.Danica asked Mikey if he thinks the wind blowing
her hair all around makes her look sexy? Danica is still a teenager at
heart.

Mikey is such a DS, and the old man is a "pung"..
Danica looks like an ice cream dessert.

She won, she's pretty, and I wish her the best

So, if you had Danica Patrick vs Dale Junior in a one off car race...
would the chicks cheer for Little E or the woman?
and how about the rednecks?  the cute chick or the the guy who drove the
bud car for many years?

:)
cuhulin@webtv.net - 22 Apr 2008 04:23 GMT
I would be cheering for Danica Patrick, the COOL! one.

A few years ago while watching the sports on TV, they showed
her in a race getting all hairy-arsed sideways in the pit lane, after
pulling out of her pits. Scared the crap out of the of the other pit
crews. A driver being interview after the race was asked to make
a comment on the incident, and he said "she must have been
wearing her high heels while driving again".

I have seen any number of drivers do the same thing. I consider Danica
to be a good journeyman driver, not yet a true master, but certainly
proficient in the trade.

Fully agree.. She has a lot of talent in terms of nerve, reflexes, and
driving moxie, but she
is not yet a master.

Some studies showed that women are not likely to be as competitive as men in
situations like this, simply because of testosterone levels.    She can
develop driving skills, but whether the killer instinct is there remains to
be seen.

Which studies.

Which studies.

I am sure I can locate them, as can you.  It seems to be a fact of life that
testosterone
levels and aggressive behavior can be correlated.  Not really surprising, is
it?

she's come a long way in the last couple of years, both on track and
off. still got a ways to go to be one of the routine winners.

Now that was truly a brilliant and insightful statement.  Would the
many the other beginning male drivers who have also gone squirelly at
the wrong time have received a sexist comment like that?  I doubt it.

I thought it was an ironic, politically incorrect, well timed quip. That's
the funny. She is hardly fazed by quip like that. Lighten up. She's in a boys
club. Girls in boys clubs get teased. I will add, the person who made the
comment was also smiling when he made the comment. Would she have also found
the comment funny? I bet that she would.

I don't... let's see... how about this... a pair of race savvy women
commenting on the performance of a rookie driver, who missed a shift coming
out of corner 5... "Julie your husband is driving with his dick again" Julie
sighs "yes... I know... I keep pointing out to him after he climbs in the
car... 'this is the gearshift... and this your dick... the gears are
shifted with the gearshift'". :)

You might be surprised at what women really find funny versus what
they put up with and offer a snile for.

I doubt it.  I'm thinking the same male commmentator talking about a
guy going squirrely would probably say in a slightly hushed voice:
"Wow...he came close to losing it - good recovery for a rising amateur
though."  Or similar.

And his fellow racers would be giving him the gears.

I know because I race.
I've bugged my buddy about getting a cane because obviously he was blind
and drove straight into the wreck.
A different friend got a plaque with a tractor on it - the bailing award
for most offtrack excursions.
Me... well, my crew chief has threatened to charge me $100 each time he
has to go retrieve body panels from the infield after the race.

When I was younger and did some drag racing, there was a field off the end
of the strip
with cows in it.  Some people were chided about milking the cows if their
chutes failed
or brakes faded.

Danica doesnt deserve any worse, or better, than the rest of the group.

Men have to take some pretty rough treatment on the track as well.  It can
be dangerously
aggressive at times.
