Woo Hoo!!!  Can't wait!  Like any other sport, it's primarily about how much money the team gets...  So we'll see how Jr. sets things up.

COOL !  When they have the races at Loudon most of the drivers and crews eat in the same restaurant I do.
It's fun when Mark Martin is in there cuz he is a good natured and funny guy . If Danica walks in though I may miss my face with the Coffee cup  ;D

Wished she would have went to NHRA instead of "left turn" racing.  ;D


I might have to watch the last five laps of a race to see how she does.

Montoya is going on three years and he ain't won.  He was supposed to be one of the best all around drivers out there.  She's gotta do a couple years in ARCA, Nationwide and Busch if she ever makes it to the show.  Driving and IRL car with all of it's downforce, full throttle for 300 to 500 miles will seem like a cakewalk compared to the new Cup car.  NASCAR is a long season compared to IRL, she's got some work ahead of her.  She's a great driver but I think the brute force of driving one of these cars is going to wear on her. 

Mark Martin is 50 and in better shape than all of his other competition, he loses 10 pounds of water during a race.  What is a 95 pound woman gonna do?  I wish her luck, it's great for the motor sports but I don't think she's Shirley Muldowney!

Man, that's just mean comparing anyone to montoya.  Fact is Sprint cup is the highest paying race series around.  And you KNOW she's getting paid more than all the other ARCA drivers put together or she wouldn't switch.  If she never win's a single race she deserves the money because she's going to draw the audiance / cash for everyone involved.  I think she WILL do well, & I'll watch, I'll buy her swag, & I won't be alone!  ;)

Can you imagin the WOOPIN the first guy who crashes her is gonna get from the fans!!!  He'd better hope his car is still running enough to get him out of the angry mob that'll be waiting on him.

She maybe hot, but every race I've ever seen her run, she's wrecked someone.  She's just flat out over rated

She can't do any worse with this number than Robby Gordon did!  Go girl!

She definatly gonna draw a croud, NASCAR fans are huge to the sport.

I'm just saying that she's going from a 1600 lb IRL car with amazing downforce to a 3500 lb BRICK.  She's going to be working her fine little backside off just to keep up!

Again, it will be interesting and I'll probably watch more NASCAR when and IF she ever gets there.

Note she's not like a few have been in the past claiming how she's going to come in winning.  She wants to try her hand at it, and luckily will be doing it with great equipment, and I suspect a very good team.  I'd like to see her do well this first year, then move into Tony Stewarts Sprint Cup team car.  Sorry Newman.

Wonderboy Gordon, was tempted to go to Indy Class racing several years ago, tried it and said the cars were too touchy,...

NASCAR is a heavier, bulkier, slower, sloppier car than an Indy car, kinda like going from a precision Olympic Rifle to an AK.

You got to know how to drive the "slop". Same with Tony Stewart, Indy cars are to "sensitive"

We'll see how she does at Bristol, love to see her get nailed against the wall,... :-X

Tree looks great in the corner, got nachos,.....and more beer, brought some Crown Royal too for X-Mas....

Special Kennedy Family Recipe Egg Nog and Carolina Oysters next week,... 8)

Big friggin' whoop.

She's hot, quite the biotch and can't drive a lick (oops). You guys need to hear the radio communications during the Indy races from the other drivers regarding Danica's ability. Not overly complimentary. Oh well, it'll be fun due to that. Jr. is an idiot for signing her but he's got plenty of money for new sheet metal. There have been plenty of women that have tried NASCAR that have been a bit more "muscular" than Danica that haven't cut it. I'm glad she's jumping in just so we can end this fiasco.

She'll never be able to handle it!  The first time someone bump drafts her she'll geet mad and run them off the track and then go after them after the race and try to punch their lights out.  Some of the other drivers will not be gentlemen when she does!

I wish her the best in her attempt, but I question her ability to make it.  I think it has been mentioned before, but NASCAR if very physical, and I don't know that she has the strength to fight the car, the track and the other drivers for three hours.  I could be wrong, but there is a huge difference between a little roller skate that takes left corners flat out all day long, and a pig on ice that takes left turns while wanting to go right and needs a combination of throttle control and steering wheel to keep it pointed the right way.

Happened in the early days of NASCAR when it was still a bunch of rednecks running real stock cars. I'm spacing on the names but there was a vert famous set of brothers. Brother A got bumped and wound up in a collision, taking him and the offender out of the race. He naturally decides to kick the guys ass in the infield. Brother B, who had been in the lead stops and helps with the ass whupping. I love the South! ;D
