Seriously, if AJ Foyt announced he would try a comeback race in the NNS, of if Jeff Gordon said he would do a Nationwide race, or if Michael Schumacher announed he would race a stock car at NHMS, or name any star past or present in racing... I don't think any or all of them could increase ticket sales by 30% for the Saturday race.<br /><br />Now, that unusual uptick in fan interest may be unwarranted -- but you cannot ignore it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44372435445798385432010-06-25T20:35:20.650-04:002010-06-25T20:35:20.650-04:00Why does Danica "deserve" the coverage f...Why does Danica "deserve" the coverage for the Nationwide Series? What has she actually done? Sure, she's a master at showing her "brand" and marketing her body, but what has she really done to deserve all the attention in racing? She's been driving in a watered down series with very few great drivers. She races with 20 other cars during a very short racing season. She's won ONE race, on a fuel mileage gamble (which points to a very smart crew chief and not driving skill) were most of the good drivers stayed back in the USA. So, again, what has she proven in racing? <br /><br />Until/unless she actually produces results on the track, she should be treated like any other back marker, human chicane, driver. When she wins a Nascar race, then give her credence, but not until then.Darcienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6416486049604805232010-06-25T19:49:25.415-04:002010-06-25T19:49:25.415-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.saltsburgtrojanfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86549153205128926132010-06-25T17:18:48.034-04:002010-06-25T17:18:48.034-04:00I think Danica may do harm to the Nationwide Serie...I think Danica may do harm to the Nationwide Series.

If you want to, it’s a free country and you can, so enjoy. <br /><br />But I get to choose who I root for, too!<br /><br />and if you want to talk about being hated -- try being a long time Gordon fan. Believe me, I've seen HATE first hand, up close and personal. From the guy who told me he hoped my driver crashed and burned to having a full beer can thrown directly at me.<br /><br />So while I may not be a fan of Danica or want to hear the media fawn over her every word and the camera follow her every move to the detriment of other drivers out there who are also deserving of attention, I am a very long way off from hating her.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20629899807135371132010-06-25T16:53:57.289-04:002010-06-25T16:53:57.289-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4150914198914242002010-06-25T16:50:38.111-04:002010-06-25T16:50:38.111-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56296787010100572422010-06-25T16:48:35.319-04:002010-06-25T16:48:35.319-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59498224706241392032010-06-25T16:41:25.861-04:002010-06-25T16:41:25.861-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10363653050428112872010-06-25T16:02:57.336-04:002010-06-25T16:02:57.336-04:00Gina, turned it off.

Good on them, no Danica mania there.<br /><br />Patrick ran the most laps (35) but was second to last on the speed charts, 1.22 sec. behind Steve Wallace, the fastest non-Cup regular. It will be interesting to see how much, if any, she picks up in the afternoon session.<br /><br />What was not shown on TV, and where the mania began, was the coverage of the driver's media interviews which began at 9:30 am online at nascar.com and included, in order: Harvick, Kyle B, Edwards, Burton, Martin, Johnson, Stewart and ended with Danica.<br /><br />The media's, print/online/photo, interaction with the various drivers was interesting to watch. From the perspective of a single static camera shot, with sometimes poor sound, it almost seemed like you were in the cramped looking room. But the biggest difference was the way everyone reacted to Cup boys and the new girl.<br /><br />Danica's session went on almost twice as long as the regular 15 minutes. It was actually fun to watch and ended with the track manager, Jerry Gappens, presenting Danica with a pair of cool looking high heel shoes. She was then introduced, for the first time, to track owner Bruton Smith, was just happened to be in the audience.<br /><br />Danica mania is alive and well, it just wasn't show on TV . . . yet.longtimeracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867593056745774242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5475577195329489132010-06-25T12:10:21.580-04:002010-06-25T12:10:21.580-04:00She's one media personality I don't mind w...She's one media personality I don't mind watching.
