Big Blue NASCAR 2013 Racin'!!!!

[ngauger]

I noticed that Kyle Petty has recently commented that Danica is NOT a real racer ......as in, qualifies pretty good but can't back it up in the race . Fortunately , Kyle admitted that he himself was just a "journeyman driver " . He got that right .

I didn't expect Danica to do very well in Winston ...er , Sprint Cup . But she has been more competitive than what I thought she would be . Danica is very diminutive to begin with , and wrestling around a comparatively heavy race car takes a lot of strength I would think . Most of the other guys are pretty athletic looking , so I think the sport requires a lot of strength and stamina that Danica just can't match . I do respect her obvious talent ...just think she is over her head .......and laughing all the way to the bank with her popularity .

Strictly speaking, Kyle had no real right to say that in the first place, for the reasons you mentioned above It was just plain crass on his part....

With that in mind, Yes, I agree with:
She has been more competitive than what I thought she would be. ---- Yes, I'm pleasantly surprised too

Danica is very diminutive to begin with , and wrestling around a comparatively heavy race car takes a lot of strength I would think. ---- It does! Kenny Wallace and DW were saying that exact thing when Danica first moved to NASCAR. The cars are heavier and harder to steer even harder than Nationwide, let alone Indy.

Most of the other guys are pretty athletic looking , so I think the sport requires a lot of strength and stamina that Danica just can't match . I do respect her obvious talent ...just think she is over her head. -- In complete agreement - she should have spent a few more years in Nationwide, and I was actually hoping she would try the trucks.. She may have even won there... the trucks are an entirely diferent animal
