HAHAHAHAHA. Danika is an all star???

[bman1962]

Who'da thunk?


Supposedly the fans voted her in......... I'm guessing NASCAR voted her in.

 

[RGriff69]

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing the fans vote her in.

 

[bwframe]

I guess it depends on whether you like boys or girls...

 

[Bunnykid68]

The NASCAR fans I know hate her. I am assuming Earnhardt was already in the race because there is no way she could beat him out in a vote

 

[Ricnzak]

I really dislike her. She is terse, rude, a adulteress, and overall a self absorbed witch. (Subsatute B when necessary). If she could drive she could win races.

 

[bwframe]

Real NASCAR fans know what Danica brings to their sport. I don't disagree with anything said, but she's good for the sport. For those that actually follow the sport, it is very obvious that she is different than the "bad Danica" of some of her IRL years.

 

[atvdave]

T&A got her in... nothing more, and nothing less...

 

[Captain Bligh]

Follow the money. She is in because she draws attention and brings big $$$. For that reason she is good for the sport...for her racing -- not so much.

 

[ryang]

Hey now! It went well for her....oh wait

 

[Classic]

Here is why they keep pushing her. If you believe the survey.

Top 5 in Sprint Fan Vote announced

Nothing wrong with those legs!

Patrick is only considered an all-star for obvious reasons. Earnhardt is only there because of his dad's death. IMO, neither has done anything on the track to be considered a true all-star of the sport. There's a lot of better drivers watching the race from home simply because they aren't sex symbols or have a famous last name.

Earnhardt at least won back to back Busch Championships and was in the top 10 all of last year until the concussion at the end.

 

[Warrior]

One Indy Car victory in Japan and the ability to not crash out doesn't put her near the top of my list.

Another observation: A vote for danica patrick was the most wasted vote since Ross Perot. She finished last of the cars still running.

 

[Pinchaser]

Hard to argue with this......

 

[Mad Macs]

She's the Anna Kournikova of racing....

 

[Harleyrider_50]

Hard to argue with this......

........Da*n strait,LOL!......

I'd hit 'at like a screen door in'a hurricane..... .......an' do it more'n once,LOL!......

OH MY!

 

[Sfrandolph]

I was surprised that Patrick was moved to the all star race if it is true that the fans voted. I really doubt that there are that many fans that would have wanted to see her race. She may be nice to look at, but as a stock car driver she just isn't that impressive. Consistent, yes. Consistently in the 25-35 finishing position. As for Dale Jr., he deserves to be in the all star race a whole bunch more than Danica. And how the heck did Nascar justify bringing Johnson into the pit line in third or fourth position last night? He had been lingering around 12th - 16th all night and then SUDDENLY, Nascar puts him in the top five? Nascar's credibility is non-existent.

Watched a program a few years back that illustrated how new drivers are selected. Driving skills are secondary to appearance, presentation and marketability. That was the day NASCAR died for me. It USED to be about the racing and the unique individuals that got there based on skill, not by a "executive selection committee".
