One side saying treat her like a man and let her stand on her own merits and the other saying hey she finished 12th! That's AWESOME! I really don't see that as being very awesome. Would we celebrate any other driver for the same things that she has done? If you want true equality then let her accomplishments stand on their own regardless of gender. As soon as the people say she did good for a woman, they are actually belittling her accomplishments. My 2cents...I fully expect to be put into the woman hater category though.

so do you post things like this because you know Danica fans don't actually watch NASCAR? Gordon was racing for the lead when his car broke, she was 4 laps behind him at the time. Dale was racing for the lead when he had battery issues, she was 3 laps behind him at the time. Stenhouse, who cares, probably trying to make her feel good so she would give him some.CowboyDan;5047723 said:Super Danica finished 28th, ahead of Dale Jr, Gordon and Stenhouse!

Yes, they have an agenda. They jumped to conclusions after her nearly irrelevant Daytona pole and have been in damage control ever since. If you've watched the races you've seen her as a back marker on a weekly basis. She did have a nice run at Martinsville. You have to give her that. It was more of a survive in the back while the others wreck themselves out of the race and then make a run at the end, but she did well. The other races, minus the abortion plate race, she's been terrible. With top equipment.
Risen Star;5047882 said:Your weekly Danica report....she started 42nd, finished 28th, 3 laps down. 26th in points.
Stewart - started 13th, finished 21st. 22nd in points.
Newman - started 31st, finished 10th. 17th in points.

WPBCowboysFan;5047929 said:Not really. There is a difference between driving and going for the win, and driving and staying out of trouble.
So far this season Danica has neither shown on the track, nor shown in her words that she is driving for a win.
