Yeah, but Smoke had won a bunch of races and championships before he started racing NASCAR. On the other hand, Danica has only won one race and that was on fuel mileage.
I think Danica will try her hand at NASCAR. IRL isn’t going anywhere and she could make a lot more in NASCAR. And NASCAR could use a shot in the arm right now, with both attendance at races and TV viewership down.
I don’t think she’ll help much. She’s just an easier on the eyes version of Scott Pruett.
