Why does this woman receive so much grief? She's just a racer on the track, as so many men drivers will tell you about themselves.

What made the first nationally broadcast NASCAR race a hit and a staple from that point on? Not the winner, but the fight in the infield afterwards. It's what the fans came to see. Emotion.

Didn't thousands upon thousands sit on the edge of their seats to watch the Intimidator stuff someone into the wall? God bless him.

We now have Rowdy Busch thumbing his nose to the fans that boo him in the stands, but I think he's winning them over.

People pick on Danica to see her cry. She might, but she is a driver from a golden era when passion ruled the sport.

I'll be waiting for her next incident, as it will surely come, and I'll applaud the first female to be a driver before being a woman on the track.

Go win, then slap the pudding out of their mouths Danica. I'll be watching.

  1. Really really short and needs more stuff to back up your points. It's a good start, but fill it out more, correct your spelling and grammar, and it'll be much better.

    1. Thank you for the comments. This is all new to me. I've just started with this experience and I'm gaining confidence as I go. I wasn't a good student way back when, but I'm finding this to be fun.

  2. nice read

  3. good beginnings of an article here. good subject and i like your take on it. i know it's an older piece now, but i just found it while trying to navigate down to the IRL section. it should be easier to get here.
