Who Needs Danica…
Who needs Danica when you can have this?
Kristi can wave my, ahem… flag anytime.
1992 Olympic gold medalist, popular professional figure skater and recent “Dancing with the Stars” winner Kristi Yamaguchi will wave the green flag to start the 92nd running of the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, May 25.
As the first female honorary starter in Indianapolis 500 history, Yamaguchi will send the elite 33-car starting field into the quest for the checkered flag and racing immortality. (And me into a tizzy-fit of jealousy! - ed)
Yamaguchi replaces world champion boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. as honorary starter after Mayweather was forced to relinquish his role due to a death in his family.
Which raises an overtly obvious question; If Kristy was available as a sub presumably she was always on the “a-list” of potential starters, so why did Mayweather head the list?
Someone (Tony “G”?) needs a wee-wee test.

I agree with the statement, “who needs danica”, I never thought she was that attractive. Plus I always thought of her as the kournikova of racing, but 10x’s less attractive of course. Up until two weeks ago she so overrated in my opinion, I watch the race two weeks ago where she won and it was a give me, because how do all the lead drivers and their crew managers make the mistake of miscaculating on fuel? She was overstated then and she is overstated now, by the way I agree Kristi is cute and a great look for Racing!
First of all “StandupGuy,” I’d say you weren’t so “standup” considering you are using a non de plume.
That aside, glad you agree on “Who needs Danica.”
Oh wait you don’t, you mistook my sarcasm for something else and think she is “over-rated” and had a win handed to her.
Too bad, but let me ask you a question, Do you think Jimmie Johnsons win at Phoenix was diminished because he won on fuel mileage?
What about Darios’ Indy 500 win last year when he inherited the lead by staying on the track when the leaders pitted for fuel. He then drove slowly to the checkered flag in a downpour when the race was stopped 10 laps later after 415 of the scheduled 500 miles. Franchitti won the race under a caution light brought out when teammate Marco Andretti crashed three laps from the abbreviated end.
What about the dozens of examples I could cite where that has occurred.
I doubt if you would because hell, all the other cases aren’t by a woman you obviously have something against.
BTW, the link to the crapola website you stuck at the end of your comment is gone. You’d be advised to read my comment policy.
