Can We Kill the Danica Myth Now?

posted in Formula One, IRL, NASCAR |

I’m sure this will come over the objections of the NASCAR media who have slobbered all over themselves at the thought of a Tin-Top version of Danica-mania but, it ain’t happening!

Danica told the Daily Star: “First I want to contend for the IndyCar championship and then we’ll see what opportunities arise.”

“During my three years in England, I followed F1 closely and became dead set on racing in it,” she recalled.

“F1 is regarded as the highest level of racing with the best drivers in the world and it’s very flattering to have that as an opportunity,” Patrick added.

Now, all you ink-stained wretches that follow the NASCAR circus put down your pens, your mice (mouses?) and that “thing” you call your manhood and get back to writing something that approximates reality.

As a sidenote, anyone except me think it’s more than a happy coincidence that the Indy event is scheduled to start approximately around the time NASCAR’s Talladega event should be complete?

But isn’t Jack Roush talking to her? You know, Roush the guy with 5 teams that has to cut back to 4, but now he says that he’s been talking about bringing her to NASCAR.

I think Jack is trying to get a little more publicity for himself, since the whole Toyota stole my part things has fallen off the front page.

That might be the case John if Jack had volunteered the info. He didn’t, in the midst of the bruhaha he was asked about it and he relied.

And Danica’s response was she was there to see Dario and Hornish as they are past competitors from open wheel.
