Did they have a significant number of media reps.?<br /><br />I can't recall who, but I heard someone on PRN or MRN this week say that Daytona is so much different than other tracks that Danica's running the N-wide race there would not really help her much at all with later tracks.<br /><br />Yes, the Chris Henry tragedy does put things into perspective. I take it he left 3 children and it does sound like he had been turning things around.

Ho Hum !! ...Listened to a lot of stuff on Sirius. Ho Hum !! But it was nothing short of a love fest between Jr and Danica with a little Kelley gushing thrown in for good luck. Claire B Lang was interviewing everyone and anyone for the show, including the guy who made her seat. Man, you'd think Danica is the reincarnation of Mother Theresa, or the very least a top notch Girl Scout, with all the glowing comments. "She's wonderful, great to work with, kind and courteous, funny, brings out the best in Jr (that one had me scratching my head), plus tons more. <br /><br />Not surprised she's not debuting at Daytona. That track and the other drivers would eat her alive. Fontana is a bit more tame for a Nationwide debut.Darcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-53893286124532575592009-12-17T14:02:26.876-05:002009-12-17T14:02:26.876-05:00She may have a Bobby Gerhart car for Daytona in th...She may have a Bobby Gerhart car for Daytona in the ARCA race.

Or watch a female driver overly promote her brand.<br /><br />So I can't tell if the Danica Press conference was a bust or what (Yikes! bad choice of words considering GoDaddy commercials)<br /><br />Did Jr speak much there and did he say much? Was he asked if this would distract his CUP season, as a fan of Jr's, I'd like less distractions and less media focus of how he's doing...<br /><br /> <br /><br />I did see a picture of Jr smiling at the Press conference on Twitter which brought me HERE. :-)<br /><br />Will catch up later..off to read Twitter to get updated, informed & entertained on all things local & National.<br /><br />Will check back later for the details of this conference.<br /><br />Me, I am waiting to see how Robin Miller handles this tomorrow.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5169481485463637192009-12-17T12:01:33.560-05:002009-12-17T12:01:33.560-05:00I had to leave at 8:35 (PST).
