Please note the distinction, V. This is an exhibit, NOT an induction. You could say that Danica is incidental to the exhibit, which is technically commemorating the EVENT.Vidav wrote:Shouldn't you have to win a few races to get into the HOF?
Nobody said Danica was the first woman in NASCAR. That's not what's being commemorated. She's the first woman to win a POLE. THAT's what's being commemorated, 93.93henfan wrote:She's not the first woman in NASCAR. She's not the first woman to suck ass in NASCAR either.
What would warrant a HOF induction? The HOF is for great drivers.
By the way. Denny Hamlin, after missing over a month with a broken back, just moved back ahead of Danica in the point standings.
You cannot be serious on the second part. If you are, you're just an idiot. No further comment.SuperHornet wrote: But the EVENT of being the first woman to win a NASCAR pole is certainly worth an exhibit in the HOF, if not an outright induction....
Two-timing hussy.Are you saying that Danica and Amy Grant are marriage wrecking whores?Ivytalk wrote:Danica will be indicted before she's inducted.

And "suck[ing] @$$" isn't too terribly accurate, either. Not many NASCAR drivers improve 10-15 spots from starting position week in and week out. She does.
Induction? Maybe in a couple of decades after she's had time to improve. If she hasn't bailed for F1 or back to IRL by that time. Certainly not now, though. But the EVENT of being the first woman to win a NASCAR pole is certainly worth an exhibit in the HOF, if not an outright induction....
Next to Dick Trickle.ASUG8 wrote:Did they put the Danica exhibit next to the Willie T. Ribbs exhibit?
Wait, you claimed back in Feb her winning the Daytona Pole was due to "skill", being an awesome driver, girl power and all.SuperHornet wrote:Please note the distinction, V.

Bullshit. Since Daytona qualifying, which is 99% car, she has continually qualified near the bottom in tracks that have actually required a modicum of skill in qualifying. She hasn't done it "week in and week out" as you claim. She has improved here standing 10+ spots LESS THAN 1/2 THE TIME, 5 of 11 races.

Yeah, like Elliott Sadler.93henfan wrote:Daytona and Talladega are tracks where an average poster from this board could get in the car, practice a couple of hours to get used to the car, and then qualify for the pole ourselves. Those tracks are truly that easy to drive. Long turns, high banks. There's very little skill involved, unless you consider holding a pedal to the floor for two minutes a skill. The pole at the two superspeedways is usually determined by two things: horsepower and track conditions at the time of the qualifying run, with the latter often being the more important of the two. The only skill on a superspeedway comes when there are 42 other cars out there on the track with you.
To hang anyone's reputation on a pole on a superspeedway really shows your ignorance of the sport.
To be as kind as I possibly can be, Danica Patrick is (at best) a well below average NASCAR driver. She's driving great equipment, with gobs of sponsor money behind her, and is doing jack diddly squat with it. If she didn't have funbags and a split tail, GoDaddy would have no use for her and you'd have never heard of her. She is hogging a spot that a more deserving driver should be occupying.
Hall of Fame? Give me a **** break.
I've always like Sadler, but hearing he was going to JMU...that's disappointing.BDKJMU wrote:Yeah, like Elliott Sadler.93henfan wrote:Daytona and Talladega are tracks where an average poster from this board could get in the car, practice a couple of hours to get used to the car, and then qualify for the pole ourselves.

-12 seasons in Sprint 99'-11'.
-Last year was 2nd in Nationwide (Patrick was 10th)
-Currently 3rd in Nationwide
Oh, and did I mention:
"......Sadler was a six-sport athlete in high school, participating in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, and golf. He was recruited by over 20 universities to play college basketball and ended up accepting a basketball scholarship from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. However, he injured his knee before his freshman season and needed two surgeries, eventually quitting school to focus on racing......."

Also if you have to finish 10-15 spots higher than you starter and you still finish, on average, 27th....you really really suck
This has nothing to do with misogyny. You are claiming a lousy driver belongs in the HOF.SuperHornet wrote:You're full of it, JMU. Danica started at the back at Darlington because she had to go to a backup car, and she STILL improved a dozen spots.
You guys are freaking misogynistic bastards.
Being honest about a woman being bad at something doesn't make you a misogynist. If she was a great driver we would all say as much. She sucks and you only like her because she is a woman.SuperHornet wrote:You're full of it, JMU.

My wife bought me 18 laps at Charlotte with Richard Petty driving experience a few years back. They had to pull the seat out of my ass when I finished.93henfan wrote:Daytona and Talladega are tracks where an average poster from this board could get in the car, practice a couple of hours to get used to the car, and then qualify for the pole ourselves.

Charlotte requires skill to drive. Gotta round those double dog legs just right or you can kiss the wall on the front stretch pretty easily.ASUG8 wrote:My wife bought me 18 laps at Charlotte with Richard Petty driving experience a few years back.
