Any comments on the Danika Patrick-Milka Duno "lively chat"?. I heard some radio jocks saying Danika is too up-tight all the time, that she needs a little RELAXATION :!: :!: :shock:

She has the same superstar attitude that Kyle Busch has. She thinks everyone should get out of her way so she can win. She (and Kyle) can race everyone as hard as she/he wants but as soon as someone races them hard it is a problem.
Danica is a decent race car driver but not as good as she thinks she is. She led some laps at Indy then switched to what can be argued as the best equipment in the series and she hasnt performed the way she shoud if she is so great. The win in Japan can be 50% attributed to her and 50% to her team using great strategy.
Im glad someone finally didn't put up with her sh**.

Personally from what I've seen, Milka has even less place in a race car than Danica has. The 3 or 4 interviews I've watched that Milka has done, she has even more of a "I demand respect" attitude than Danica and Shrub have combined.

I'm a Sarah Fisher FAN, big time, so I hate Danica. Ugh, what a biatch. She's got some ability, no doubt, but nowhere near the "superstar" status she's given by our pathetic star-struck culture.

If you look back at her "great triumph" at Indy (leading laps late), you'll see luck to no end. She spins under yellow (earlier), and takes out two of her biggest competitors (although one was Tomas Schecter, who most likely would have taken himself out at some point, he usually does!), then pits again under the same yellow, which gave her a top-off of fuel while they checked for damage. That allowed her to take the lead later when everyone else had to pit. Ugh.

I was hoping Milka would pop her one! Would have been great. Heck, I was hoping Ed Carpenter would have popped her, or Wheldon, or Briscoe, or (add good driver that she's biatched at)...

PS- Sarah Fisher's grandmother was one of the first women pilots licensed in Ohio, FYI.

B-I-G difference between Danica and the Shrub.
Shrub in 2008:
2 truck wins
6 Nationwide wins
7 Cup wins, plus he is in first place.
I figure he can have a little attitude if he wants.
Can't say I'm a big fan of the way he moves people on the track.
But you gotta smile after he wins a race and he bows to the crowd as they boo.
I have also watched him sign autographs for kids till the last one left and he was standing alone.

Pocono last month.

In this shot you can see the skid marks from where Kyle missed
the cone to enter pit road and slammed sideways into the pit wall
I was standing behind. I can tell you that was the fastest
I've moved in a while. The young man does get your attention.

Bill,
Beautiful photos.
I will agree with you that he Shrub can have a little ego. What impressed me was his victory lane interview at Chicagoland. He can't believe the dream season he is having...he was almost humble...that was cool.

P.S. I dont want to hijack the thread but I was at Indy this weekend and WHAT A J.O.K.E.
