Humble? I think that would be about the last word I would use to describe her. In fact, I think she's pretty obnoxious and arrogant.

At the 500 banquet, she was presented with the Rookie of the Year trophy. Her response? "This looks a lot like the trophy for the fastest rookie."

I didn't get to see the banquet.. bummer I missed it! Good for her! I like her even more now!

Could it be that she was making a joke? Sheesh.

I loaded up Danica's website to show my husband her racing highlights. When he saw this

Finished second at the Formula Ford Festival in England, the highest ever finish for an American in the event.

He said that this event is cut throat racing and that if she came in second that she can drive!

My husband used to drive SCCA.

Danica has been racing since she was 10. That makes 13 years. She is good at it. Some people just want to belittle her accomplishments.

I can't remember too many race car drivers being very humble period...especially the great ones (anybody remember AJ Foyt, Andretti, Aryton Senna, Richard Petty or John Force as being particularly humble?).

Only time will tell whether or not this kid has the right stuff.

This is what I wrote:

"...and she was nothing but humble and gracious, post-race, even given her awesome finish."

Go back and view her post-race interview, the moment after she took her helmet off. Yes, she was HUMBLE in all that she said. You must not have seen the interview or heard her words of summation. You think that she's pretty obnoxious and arrogant? I guess you've been following her career and know her disposition...but you're wrong about it.

"At the 500 banquet, she was presented with the Rookie of the Year trophy. Her response? "This looks a lot like the trophy for the fastest rookie."

Mostly joke; all truth. Is this line of hers what has you loathing her so?
