I think that was a rude remark. However, Danica is going to have stop the cheesecake pictures until she wins. This is hard for me to say because I like the pictures.

She is not going to be perceived as serious as long as she's doing the pictures and finishing 13th.

Yes she did do well in the Indy 500. Her race last week, was pretty disappointing.

I think the pictures are from a few years ago. I could be wrong about that. She seems capable of turning the switch from model to race car driver. I saw on espn she did an interview where she's talked/flirted her way out of 6 speeding tickets. LOL!

Can you remember how Danny Sullivan was promoted by the media and agents...? Sex symbol..what is good for one Danny is good for the other Dannie. :)

I think she has the right stuff and will be a force to be reckoned with. Marketing is marketing. As a woman who has lived through the "liberating of women" days, I find it a real joke when someone complains that Danica should not have great photos of her done.

I think back to when the women's lib movement started. All women wanted to be taken seriously so consequently, anyone who was beautiful and promoted themselves as such were harassed. But look what has happened...we now have Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, Brittney, Lil' Kim, J-LO, and hundreds of stars who promote themselves as sex symbols. ). As long as these folks are rich and call their own shots, it's OK to "sell out" to the sexy image. Right..... that is what it is all about ...selling...
I'm sorry, but as a woman, I've seen the times change and yet stay the same. The average looking woman is ignored and the sexy babe is adored and fawned over in the media. It really hasn't changed. The only real difference is smart talented and even unattractive folks have learned that getting a law degree or medical degree (for example) gets respect and can call their own shots. Beautiful young women will eventually learn that once they age, unless you have a successful business, talent (like race car driving), or come into large amounts of money; you are likely to be "invisible" to the world of men and media. Of course, those folks who find meaningful work, give of themselves to a higher calling will not give a damn about how the world seems them and will survive the aging process.
But that reality is not what we teach our daughters. If you shop like Paris, dance like Brittney, have boobs like Pamela, hair like Jennifer and have a good self image (look good in the mirror) you will live happily ever after. Now we have come a long way baby..now haven't we? hmm?

BTW, I'm 53, attractive, and married 35 years with two wonderful grown boys. I was raised pre lib, lived during lib and learned life is not a race for independence but a race for loving, caring, sharing, giving, learning, knowing all is really in God's hands. He made the young beautiful (mating) and old wise for a reason. :)

Have a great day and enjoy the pictures of Danica, she's young, talented, beautiful, has guts, is smart and just plain cool. She's earned my respect but will improve as a driver and a person with more experience and time.

How many races have you won? I doubt that Danica cares what you think about her extracurricular activities. Maybe all the other losing drivers should stop posing for covers of the racing mags and stop giving interviews to the press so they can be more focused on racing?

(whistle) 15-yard penalty, for mentioning cheesecake photos without posting any.

I do to. I clicked on this thread to see them and they're not here. I may have to hit the abuse button.

I think she's trying to be the Anna Kornikova of motor sports. You don't need to be the best to make a lot of money in your sport. By finishing 4th at Indy, Danica made more from endorsements than Dan Wheldon, the winner.
