IMHO Danica, and others, when asked questions where all the information/decisions are not being made public or unknown, talk that slow stilted speech to make sure they don't let the cat out of the bag or say something wrong. <br /><br />Should be a slow week for any NASCAR news, so Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all. May 2010 be a much better year in all aspects, from the economy to NASCAR :-)West Coast Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6625557290958411132009-12-19T10:23:41.394-05:002009-12-19T10:23:41.394-05:00an observation: i have come to believe that when p...an observation: i have come to believe that when patrick is speaking racing, the "ums" and "y'knows" disappear and she presents in a confident, professional well-spoken manner.<br /><br />for example, i compared her post-arca testing on friday with her JRM press conference. at the track, when being asked about the car, the track, the difference between the 2 cars she's raced, the team: the verbal tics are gone and she is coherent and interesting. perched on that chair in mooresville, not so much.<br /><br />in addition, at the track, when the question became even remotely personal (which track she thought would be her first n'wide race), the "ums" came back. don't know what, if anything, all this means but it's an observation.<br /><br />i like patrick and i want her to succeed, for herself, for JRM and for the n'wide series. but if i ruled the world, i'd have the media back it down a ton. some fans are expressing frustration with the "she's being shoved down our throats" and it is effecting how some of them see her as a racer. this "spill-over" effect will be somewhat ameliorated by her connection to JRM (or maybe, it will be negatively enhanced, depending on how those same fans feel about dale!) but either way, it is a distraction from seeing her as a racer and making a decision about her based on that.<br /><br />i will say, however, that as much as i like patrick as a racer, i dislike danica, the brand. i fail to understand why some female racers go the route of exploiting their physical appearance in a way that i feel diminishes their impact as a racer. for the most part (carl edwards perhaps being the most obvious exception) male racers don't go that route. <br /><br />while go daddy has value as far as a sponsor with $$$, the way they present the female spokepeople for their brand is significantly different than how they present the male spokesmen -- and not in a way that works for me. every go daddy ad with women is focused on sex and physical appearance. we didn't see that angle with dale or kez. <br /><br />just sayin: i appreciate the $$ go daddy brings but i dislike the branding. that, however, is their corporate choice and doesn't impact my support of patrick or JRM.redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469882559901586219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26838808588006052202009-12-19T01:13:15.689-05:002009-12-19T01:13:15.689-05:00Finally got a chance to watch.

In other interviews her speech comes across as stilted, like at the press conference. Robin seemed to make her feel comfortable and asked great questions. The pace of her speech was much quicker and more natural.<br /><br />Will never feel good about the Go-Daddy sponsorship. But I wish her well. If you don't take the opportunity you can only have regrets. <br /><br />I definitely won't blame her for the media frenzy. They are like pack animals. JR is probably loving it...<br /><br />When the official announcement was made we ordered tickets for the ARCA race (w/Bud Shootout & qual).<br /><br />An aside...at the hair salon today and overheard another patron saying she had gone to Las Vegas for NHRA drags.

I like Robin Miller but I'm already tired of Danica and the hype. Geez, just let her race and then I can decide if I am going to pay attention to her. It's a lot like all the hype about Logano -- the media overdid it so much that I felt like I just couldn't stand the kid. Once he got in the car and I got a chance to watch him on the track, I've changed my mind and have started to enjoy watching him race.<br /><br />The same thing MIGHT happen with Danica, but I doubt it, mostly because she's too interested in selling herself, not her skill set. Pistone is twittering again about all the "hatred" for Danica. sorry man, but NASCAR and the media don't get to tell the fans who they will like or cheer for - we all still get to choose.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67328487025417850842009-12-18T16:37:21.969-05:002009-12-18T16:37:21.969-05:00i was half joking about the ums and "y know&q...i was half joking about the ums and "y know" stuff but it's still pitiful for an adult, years into the public spotlight speaks this way.<br /><br />I learned nothing new today but DID miss the first 5 minutes. Did enjoy Miller though as usual. <br /><br />but, indeed, I am weary of the hype machine already.<br /><br />I think Robin should've asked her if she was going to have dinner with Milka Duna after the towel fight from last year. :-DSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22869482696774770552009-12-18T15:44:03.857-05:002009-12-18T15:44:03.857-05:00Thanks for the good comments.

I LOVE Robin but Danica needs a SPEAKING coach or must have some um, y'know stutter.<br /><br />I could not hear difference for uh, or um. But the y'knows were often double spoke (y,know, y,know)<br /><br />between 1:09 and 1:12 and some odd seconds, I marked Danica said y'know 22 times & many 'ums'.... poured coffee at one point and missed marking a couple.<br /><br />I know she is not one, but she sounds like a teen age valley girl. Next thing we know,she will finish in up sentences, where everything sounds like a question? Y, know what I mean???<br /><br />Great to see Robin but sheesh, she's annoying. I can't get past the ums & you knows and after ALL these years, she is still doing it. <br /><br />Cringe worthy to listen to DP speak with such LIMITED vocabulary. I've decided double negatives in sentences no longer annoy me compared to um, yknow??<br /><br />If Danica could speak without repetitiveness of ums and you knows, I could take it.<br /><br />Do not mention Larry Macs butchering of the English language as he is INFORMATIVE & doesn't repeat himself over minutia verbal stammers.<br /><br />Then they showed a short clip of Jr speaking and he seems to have caught the "you know" virus.<br /><br />!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-38130017237637813092009-12-18T13:33:26.393-05:002009-12-18T13:33:26.393-05:00Just watched the interview with Danika, she did ju...Just watched the interview with Danika, she did just fine during the interview. <br /><br />For the folks making fun week after week of Patrick's "ums".
