He hasn't been behind the wheel since 1992, but there still is only one King of NASCAR, and when Richard Petty speaks, the words carry some weight.
On the subject of Danica Patrick's chances of winning in her second full season behind the wheel of a Sprint Cup car, Petty is quite clear.

She’s pleasant to look upon
That's good to go.
Wow, she has green eyes, Like me.
It actually bothers me that she poses like that. Is she a model or a driver? I appreciate her looks—she is a pretty lady. But if she wants to be taken seriously, be serious.
LOL!......that's right.
What a coincidence. I had to give up my Rolls Royce for exactly the same reason. Just not enough cup space.
Christmas was one of the trainers at my Crossfit in Coeur d’Alene waaaayyy back in 2007 when she opened the first Crossfit in town with her BF. We had 6 or seven members for the first 3 or 4 months. I was member #5. It was great.
I don’t give a hoot about NASCAR, but I sure love hearing that foul-mouthed Danica get dissed.
What was Christmas like? Was she someone you would consider a good role model for the fitness community? If you have daughters of your own, would you consider her as someone you’d like them to try and emulate?
You must like flat chested women with severe anger management issues.
As they used to say “Anything more than a.....never mind.”
Petty is a Legend.
And Danica can’t drive.
That just about sums it up.
Yeah, actually I do.
I follow IndyCar as well. Several years ago when Danica was first getting started in open wheel, she was involved in an accident with another driver. They both ended up in the ambulance together. While the other driver still had his helmet on. Danica gave him a whack on the head. The other driver complained to the IRL that he had been assaulted. When Danica was asked about it on TV, she said; “So his story is he got beat up by a girl?” Never heard another word about the “assault.”
Another funny - AJ Foyt’s driver was passed on track at speed by Danica. AJ on the radio: “You just got passed by a girl.”
She’s handled things pretty well. She used to be a tad too feisty and pouty, but got that behind her. Tony Stewart is a good owner for her. Be interesting to see how she handles Kurt Busch and Harvick as teammates. See if they are as helpful as Dale Jr. and Tony pushing her to the front in Daytona.
Nope. Thank you much. I've had my fill of people like you.
I liked Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s statement about it. No need for Danica to respond with a statement. Just go win. Of course, there is no chance but its still the right position. She has to learn how to drive 500 miles without spinning one of those cars out first.
