The ALL Danica Patrick NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide thread 2012

[PenelopePitstop]

Did you ever notice the scowl on her face except when she's having smoke{the real kind} blown up her *** Look at the facial expression when she's signing the autograph for the kid.............

Wow! Just wow!

Here she is, graciously signing autographs for some of her many fans (something she does every race weekend hundreds, maybe thousands, of times) who came to the track to meet her and you want to comment on her natural facial expression instead of her generous nature? I'd venture to say that very few drivers in this era have signed one half of the number of autographs as Danica. That's one of the reasons she has so many fans.

I used to watch her in IndyCar signing autogaphs and she had the same expression......

Dam that b*tch, signing even MORE autographs for her many fans at Indy. What an evil person to be accommodating her fans. You should petition to have her banned from the paddock for making the other drivers look like selfish pigs when they ignore their fans.

Grow up.

[OrdinaryRaceFan]

Does Townsend Bell know he's an F1 driver? Has anybody told him?

I belive he has had some tests with Jaguar F1 something like a decade ago, but yes, defining him as a "F1 driver" is kind of pushing the boundaries.

[Alphard]

Ohhhhhh someone is in trouble

[Liz]

That was pretty tacky, to put it mildly.

[PRO4ART]

What? No haters posted yet on todays race, so I thought I'd post.
Danica got to "drive" her car to lead one lap. So she was pushed to the front just like everyone else that led a lap today, so what?
Ran up front quite a lot today. Then she got roughed up by Hornish coming to the checker, while she was trying hard to gain positions.
Honish then found out he pissed her off, when he hit the wall, after she drove after him, and punted him. She had a 13th place due to Hornish screwing with her, and looked like a top 10 could have been hersr

[CARTer]

I found myself really getting behind Danica today. I thought she ran a very good race. I also think it was a dirty move by Sam to take her to the wall like that.

But punting him on the cool-down lap? Stupid move.

[Todd Gack]

Nice chicken-s*** move there, Danica.

Typical hack move by a hack driver who is totally out of her league in NASCAR's AAA series.

Very lucky that Sam wasn't hurt. Punting a competitor at 170 MPH head-first into a wall, is beyond untolerable. Who the hell is she anyway?

Who gives a crap about how she ran at 'Dega. Its one of the two Cup tracks that it takes literally no talent to drive at.

She was in her typical midpack spot most of the last 1/4th of the race (which is the only part of a plate race that matters) and only got close to the top 10 because of the G-Y-C foolishness, that took out a bunch of better cars.

And the crap she pulled after the checkards? Not going to be taken lightly, especially when one driver had just been flown out of there with some injuries 30 minutes earlier. She let her lame-ass temper get the best of her again. Enjoy your probation. You certainly earned it.

[fivehundred2go]

What kind of reward will they give her - will it be similar to the "reward" they offered Kyle Busch after a similar "move?"

LOL - based on these consecutive paragraphs it seems you do.

Sounds like she pulled a pretty bad one after the race. Be interesting to see how the powers that be react.

Any other series and she isn't racing next week. Any other series but NASCAR.

[Jaly]

I cannot even think of one series where she would not be racing.

Hornirsh did what he should have done for position and Danica showed what she is all about after the checker. What a BS move on her part.

And your driving experience includes.......? Your stats show you should know all about that subject, and be aware of what drivers will do.
You must have napped for the first 3/4 of the race, where she ran near the front.
Her "mid pack" last 1/4 of the race was only due to her having to get out of line with overheating. You get passed when you do that, and she wasn't just setting there riding around after the car cooled off.

[Big G 94]

She was out of line, although this kind of stuff is what NASCAR and today's fans want. So is the payback that inevitably will come at some point down the line.

[funblvble]

Come on man... Sam and Brad ran in the back all day (trying to stay out of trouble) compared to Danica who ran in the main pack and in the top 10 most of the day. Sam then supposedly gets a flat tire and instead of getting out of the way and dropping to the apron (he said it happened a corner earlier so he had time) he keeps trying to drive it, thus saying he had no control when being pushed and that's why he drove her into the wall (driving over his head which is normal for his Nascar career). Then in retaliation she tapped him solidly in the rear after the race, she didn't pile drive him into the wall... I think he only turns into the wall because of the flat it wasn't because her contact was so violent. That happens all the time in NASCAR after the checkered flag... The only difference is this incident includes Danica who gets grief for just about anything she does.

If Nascar wants to warn Danica or put her on probation then fine... She's a big girl she can handle the consequences (there is no way they'll park her for this incident nor should they). Also, for those that think she would be worried about a driver physically confronting her after a race you really don't know Danica's personality...she would fight right back.

I can think of a number of drivers in the race today and tomorrow that would have done the same thing Danica did after being pushed into the wall on the last lap. Some may have confronted Sam after the race in the garage but most would have given him a similar tap to show their displeasure.

[#7batmobile]

,Ahahaha! Once again, the anti-Patrick has posters, (who claim they don't even watch Nascar), have their panties in a twirl! Perfect! Digest this: Every sports outlet will give the Hornish/Patrick "dust up" "more coverage than the driver that(who? ) won the race. The spin on the Patrick/Hornish "dust up" will generate more TV/Sports coverage by this ONE Nascar race, than the last 4 races of the Indycar series---sorry, but it's the truth. At least THIS time, Sam Hornish's daddy didn't come out swinging and pushing pit crews out of the way, looking to get into a slug-fest ,to defend his boy against Patrick. LOL!----Unlike the time that Hornish's Daddy unwisely started a brawl with Tony Kaanan, for his cheap shot against Sam, long after the race was over. Classic. LMAO!

[Scuff]

That Sammy Hornish guy. He's always been a smart one. Anybody knows if you put your race car in reverse and back into Danica on purpose after the race is over, you'll get your sponsors exposure on sportscenter. Slick move Sammy. Good on you. Sammy even remembered to take his hands off the wheel before impact, just like she taught him.

Don't bother with Gack, nothing she ever does in the sport will convince him she belongs there even though she's proven otherwise.


Her average running position of 11th was the same as four other drivers who finished in the top 10 (Whitt, Buescher, Kenny Wallace and Sadler) and better than Stenhouse (15th), Kurt Busch (16th) and Justin Allgaier (16th). She did fine.

If you think she did "fine", it shows your blinders are as effective as ever. She hasn't learned a damn thing plate racing. She either can't, won't, or is afraid to push, and timid anywhere other than the yellow line. For the parts of the race I watched, I paid particular attention to the DETAILS that are plate racing. She appears to be basically clueless in a really fast car. The occasional competitor will use her car for the benefit of the draft, but she is always the odd person out. Why is that? Before you or anyone else starts to whine and spew the typical defense crap, consider her quotes after the race that "nobody seems to like me".

She continues to be a joke and it is funny to see how irrelevant she is in an irrelevant Nationwide series.

[Unzerdog]

"nobody seems to like me". The title of her new childrens book. its the sequel to "It's not my fault."

[Todd Gack]

She is a midpack hack in NASCAR's AAA series, with one of the best funded and best run operations going.

Them's the facts. Deal with them. I can.

[Todd Gack]

I can think of a number of drivers in the race today and tomorrow that would have done the same thing Danica did after being pushed into the wall on the last lap.

At Bristol or Martinsville? Sure.

At Talladega or Atlanta or Las Vegas? Nope. At least if your name isn't Kyle Busch.

Not only is she over-her-skis in a stock car from a talent standpoint, but she has no clue about NASCAR protocol. But like some from the AOW world, they think all NASCAR is, is bumping and crashing people and that is what folks like and tune in to see.

At least she is improving in her level of driver she is intentionally crashing. Last year, it was that bottom-feeder (who I can't even remember his name) at Vegas. At least Hornish is a quality driver and Indy Car Champion. Maybe next time, she can find a stock car winner to crash.

[beej]

"Facts" when twisted with agenda are not facts at all but opinions.. it would do us all to remember that...

[Bruce Spencer]

It was a racin' deal on Sam's part, Danica's behavior on the otherhand was deliberate and foolish.

[Alphard]

It's great two Indy car drivers dominating the racing news

[Alphard]

[JohnMc]

Indeed.
By the way, Sam had a flat right front tire and was heading into the wall before Danica got there. Too bad for her. I can't wait to see her tangle with Busch and Harvick.

[pumpman]

Park her butt for a race. She is not judge and jury. But if they park her I would not get to enjoy the disaster she will be at darlington. She finished outside the top 10th at a track the media told us she could have won at. She may not be that good at this NASCAR thing like the media is trying to get us to believe she could be.
