Amid the feeding frenzy, Danica disconnect emerges - (All Danica, all the time)

(SNIP)

Still, all-Danica-all-the-time clearly has a rankling effect. You hear plenty of jokes this week about his DIS now stands for Danica International Speedway, or how the television network airing the Nationwide event should be renamed DSPN, or how the city should just change its name to Danica Beach. When Kurt Busch appeared in the media center on Friday, one writer asked if the interview session would be transcribed. "If Danica were here, it would be transcribed," Busch quipped. And via Twitter, there was this snarky broadside from Scott Speed: "According to the 'media' not only is Danica the most amazing racing driver since Dale [Earnhardt] Sr. but she is also related to Jesus."

It’s unbecoming for drivers who are aleady on TV for 3 hours every weekend to whine that they aren’t getting enough attention. Danica’s move into stock cars is a human-interest story, they might as well accept that. Quit whining and drive, Kurt and Scott.

No, it isn't. It's just hype.

I used to watch NASCAR every week, until about 3 years ago when it just got boring. I have not watched a race since then, until yesterday. After Danica wrecked I switched channels. These whiners can cry all they want, but I’ll bet the ratings for her races are going to go through the roof.

This has worked so well to spike interest in NASCAR they are probably looking for gays and lesbians too! ;-)

to me.

But it’s cool when Junior pimps product, right. I mean, when he’s out there putting his mug on TV or wearing real man jeans he’s not playing sex symbol is he?

She did OK but she didn’t deserve any more attention than Christie Wallace or any other middle of the pack driver.

I think the Danica Media Frenzy is ridiculous, but I also think the Junior Media Frenzy is ridiculous. Its like they forgot that there’s a race going on. Junior is not a good driver (compared to most Sprint Cup drivers), but if you only listen to the media, you’d think he was one championship away from beating his dad’s record. Danica-mania is here to stay—until NASCAR gets a black driver that they can pimp to the cameras.

Patrick has been racing professionally for ten years and won only one race. Her rookie season in the IRL(2005) she was on the cover of Sports Illustrated even though fellow rookie Dan Wheldon won the Indy 500. Most of the attention she receives has nothing to do with her success on the track. It has as much if not more to do with her swimsuit modeling in Sports Illustrated.

Would someone please post a semi-nude of her so I can really consider her “qualifications”?

On Sat, a local radio station was chatting about Danica’s bi-sexuality that is beginning to surface. Perhaps her “husband” is just a beard?

I’m a Mark Martin fan. Greatest driver to never win a championship.

I've hated NASCAR since the days when they penalized Mopars, so I haven't been keeping up with this, but the other night, I was seated where "DSPN" was front-and-center, and I was amused beyond any expectations I might have had. My conclusions:

1. if Danica Patrick looked like Danny Bonaduce in drag, interest in her would be nonexistent.

2. she doesn't need to win a race, because this is a marketing game with some cars grafted on

3. should she choose to drive in lingerie, she can be the next President of the United States... and she won't need to spend a dime for advertising.

That should probably be placed in the WGARA FILE.

I would kind of think after 36 (or so) hours of wall to wall coverage one has to find a new subject as the rest of them have been beaten to death....

Even if true, she doesn’t exploit it so why should we care?
It is when they throw it in your face that I start to give a hoot.....
and maybe demand pictures and film as ‘proof’.

Oh geez, I hadn’t heard about this yet. Before we know it they will be trying to stuff Rosie ODonnell’s fat ass in a car too! She would need to drive a UPS truck. ;-)
