4 times in her last 8 races, Milka gets punted by another driver. This time, it was by someone who finished 3rd. ARCA wouldn't know a rough driving penalty.if it crawled into their underpants and ass fucked them. Milka, I humbly apologize for suggesting in 2010 that ARCA would respect you more than the IRL did. Clearly, I was wrong about that. I couldn't help notice how many worthless hypocrites who mourned Dan Wheldon 4 months ago went back to Twitter today to celebrate your incident.
FWIW, Milka qualified at Daytona FASTER than 9-time ARCA Driver Champion Frank Kimmel did. Also, Milka only started running this #33 Eddie Sharp Racing Chevy YESTERDAY after Sheltra Motorsports recently shut down for good. Of course, I expect one of Milka's haters will STILL come here and try (aka fail) to explain how beating such an established and experienced driver means Milka continues to suck. Some of Milka's most hate filled morons (you know who you are) should google "crow recipe" today.
@indyblimp1 And you just showed how little you know about your own argument!!! Practice times will ALWAYS be quicker then qualifying times at restrictor plate tracks because the plates limit the top speed, meaning cars are flat out on the chip the entire lap!!! That means you need the draft to go faster!!! In the draft - out of draft!!! Know your subject you idiot!!!
@indyblimp1 And I wouldn't make it an argument to say Milka's Daytona tests are better then Danica's, because again, ARCA is no where close to the Sprint Cup. Plus tests at Daytona are no statement because it's wide open, not that much work for the driver compared to, idk, A RACE? Your living in a fantasy world! And yes, us "haters" will walk on the otherwise of the street, on the paved sidewalk while you walk in a rocky ditch!
@AlexMacIsKING Alex, I never said that Milka's ARCA times were better than Danica's NASCAR Sprint Cup times. I said that they BOTH surpassed their respective 2011 pole speeds in 2012 SINGLE LAP TESTING. Either you're an idiot or a liar to not get that. Don't really care which as either one confirms what I thought of you before.
SO FUCKING WHAT if someone is a fan of Milka or her team? Frankly, I like the fact that she perseveres despite taking shit from assholes like you.
@indyblimp1 So basically you found nothing wrong with the facts I said in my argument so went for a single spelling error. Because one spelling error "totally" makes the whole argument invalid. Come on now. And you clearly don't understand that ARCA and Sprint Cup are in no means equal stock car series. ARCA is single-a, NASCAR is MLB. Danica finished what, 7th in her ONE ARCA start? Better record then Milka.
In six ARCA Series sessions with 53 cars testing, Milka Duno was 18th, 20th, 1st, 6th, 2nd and 1st.
In five NASCAR Sprint Cup sessions with 32 cars testing, Danica Patrick was 8th, 16th, 13th, 13th and 12th.
Also, both women ran numerous laps both in single car and drafting practice that were faster than their respective series's Daytona pole speeds last year.
How fast will Duno haters' heads spin if Milka wins in a stock car before Danica does?. LOL
@indyblimp And Ryan Hunter-Reay wasn't the only driver to complain about her at the glen, 3-time reigning champion Dario Franchitti complained about her being off pace and oblivious to the faster cars. She was cited by the league for her lack of talent to. It was 3 or 4 races I believe it was that she was kicked for being to slow, such as Iowa and Toronto. She even blocks in practice, watch some practice highlights from Mid-Ohio and she.
@indyblimp And yeah, you don't see people complaining that Lloyd hasn't won because he isn't in the way, Alex Lloyd was able to keep up and run well. He posted a 4th in the 2010 Indy 500. But saying people just kick a chick when they are down is crazy because all the other female drivers in indycar have huge fan base. That "bad fan Internet attitude is crap, every driver has supporters and non-supports with their opinion Milka is the only one everybody can see is slow.... -cont
@indyblimp but yeah, a 19th place on the lead lap in an ARCA race. cool. That's like hitting a sacrifice double in single A baseball, not that big of an accomplishment. And saying that guys are saying bad things about her as a girl isn't realistic. It shows she truly is slow, look at how many people "love" Danica. ....-cont
@indyblimp And Patrick Sheltra has always struggled to find sponsorship, Milka comes with sponsorship from Citgo, who knows there logo can be seen often when she is passed by the leaders. You will say Sheltra could have found money coming off a championship, but I say this has happened before, like Johnny Benson after his 2008 truck title.... -cont
@indyblimp I'll give you some non-made up facts about Milka Dunno. Here best Indy finish was 11th at Texas her rookie year and the results have got worse since to angering drivers fast drivers like RHR because she is slow but doesn't drive the mirrors, making her a moving chicane. She was even parked by indycar on several occasions last year for being far to slow and in the way, creating a great hazard for all the drivers...... -cont.
@AlexMacIsKING You wasted four different posts to lecture me about allegedly not having my facts straight yet you can't even spell Milka's name right in your VERY FIRST SENTENCE? Thanks for making me laugh and proving once again that facts and Milka Duno haters cross on opposite sides of the street.
From his own experience, Patrick Sheltra knows what it takes to be a champion. He sees that potential in Milka, with his team and guidance, even if you don't. If Milka is so "crappy", then how come this weekend she qualified 8th and finished 19th ON THE LEAD LAP despite a late unscheduled pit stop? In 4 years, Milka never finished on the leap lap in the IRL. Could it be, just like I said, that Sheltra knows more about Milka's ability than you do and is capable enough to benefit from it?
he messed the time up for YOU and everyone else...? i hope i heard it correctly even though its a little though hearing through the overly exaggerated accent. but no. you cant drive a race car is the problem, your a moving chicane...thats why you got put on probation for being too slow which im sure many people didnt even know a racing series could do that...at least you showed us that could happen....you had no time, the only reason you made the race and some of the others is because it wasnt
@usasprintseries2010 Actually, RHR lost his two fastest laps in that qualifying session due to creating a yellow flag on his own earlier. THAT, not Milka, is why he didn't move on to the next round at WGI. RHR's yellow flag DID mess up the times of everybody who was on track when it came out. That is the truth, even if you don't want to believe it. Why do so many "fans" feel the need to make up "facts" about Milka? Isn't it enough to say she was slow without lying about it?
lets put it this way, at the start of the toronto race, Vitor meira spun on the pace lap and managed to get back on track in front of Milka, then 8 laps later she was puled out of the race for being too slow
Apparently, Sheltra Racing, the 2010 ARCA Champion, can see that Milka was being held back by the lack of quality at Coyne (not to mention part time farces at D&R and Samax). Yet, some IndyCar "experts" posting in this comment section couldn't see that. Amazing, isn't it? Thank you Patrick Sheltra for singlehandedly showing the world how foolish and short sighted IndyCar fans can be.
@indyblimp He sees nothing but Citgo money. Just like Dale Coyne and D&R.
I would've thought Patrick would have more sense in him seeing that he was nearly killed a couple years ago when he was hit by a driver who had no business being on the track.
@InvisibleTeeth Not only does Patrick Sheltra know what it takes to win, he knows, with the right guidance and support, someone he teaches that to also has that same chance. Frankly, I trust the view of someone who is an actual racing champion over the rantings of a "man" on the Internet who likes to kick a woman when she is down. Right now, Milka has achieved more in her life than all of her detractors ever will COMBINED.
@indyblimp This has nothing to do with a fact that she's a woman. She's as bad as Kevin Conway..who has no business being on the track either. Patrick Sheltra does know how to win...when he's driving. Have you seen any sponsorship on Sheltra's cars? Exactly. Then Citgo throws their blood money at him of course he's going to jump at it with the side effect being Milkanddonuts.It's a shame when actual GOOD female drivers like Simona deSilvestro have to fight for everything and this hack doesnt.
@InvisibleTeeth FWIW, Recycling Services and Ferguson Enterprises (along with others) would be mighty surprised to hear your FALSE CLAIM that the ARCA Sheltra #60 was unsponsored in 2010. Your choice to attack a proven champion like Patrick Sheltra just to take such a dishonest swing at Milka backs up my claim of how foolish and short sighted some INDYCAR fans are. If Milka was truly that bad, you wouldn't need to lie about her career and current car owner like that to prove your point.
@InvisibleTeeth According to you, Milka won the Panoz GT Winter Series Championship and multiple overall and classes in sports car races (including a class win at the Petit LeMans) because she is a "never was". Frankly, I'd trust Patrick Sheltra's honest "stupidity" over your dishonest "intelligence" any day of the week. It still amazes me how many "men" on the Internet not only need to kick a good woman like Milka when she is down, but then try to hold her down so they can keep kicking her.
Have you ever seen a possible IICS sponsor walk away while calling the complete fan base "too dysfunctional"? I have, and it happened before Milka ever opened this account. Funny how that goes, huh? Those of you who need to kick a woman when she is down proved more about the lack of respect in the IICS than I could ever put into words. People post this stuff here and then act shocked when they hear that Firestone doesn't want to renew for 2012. Cause and effect can be a beautiful thing.
The worst thing is that she doesn't even realize how slow she is. How can you turn the blame on Hunter-Reay? Milka, wake up! Has anyone ever told her she constantly gets worst lap times than most of the Lights field? She's a joke of a driver and the fact someone would actually pay to put their company's name on a car she is driving is pure insanity!
@richdeveau24 Milka's "pure insanity" brought Dale Coyne many millions of dollars in sponsorship last year. Yet you give us your "sanity" free of charge. If you consider that Coyne has basically no chance in hell of competing with Ganassi, Penske and Andretti on a regular basis no matter who he puts in the car with his limited budget, Dale sure looks more in touch with reality than you are.
@indyblimp Hugo Chavez is wasting his money on her, if he wants a Venezuelan driver so bad why does he not go with EJ Viso? He's no Franchitti but he can at least keep up with the field. Having Duno in the field ruins the credibility of the sport. Randy Bernard has stated repeatedly, he wants the best drivers he can possibly get. When Duno has a ride and guys like Tomas Scheckter, Paul Tracy, Raphael Matos, Oriol Servia, etc. don't, then something's wrong.
@richdeveau24 Simple math would dictate that you would have to get rid of up to four ride buyers (or Milka and up to three salaried drivers) to fulfill your driver fantasies. To exclusively blame Milka for all of what has created the culture of ride buying in the IICS is absurd. BTW, is that the same Randy Bernard speak that couldn't convince Firestone to continue their exclusive supplier contract? Let me guess. You'll probably just unfairly blame Milka for Firestone wanting out too.
@indyblimp Did I ever say anything about "the culture of ride buying"? No, I'm simply saying that Milka doesn't belong in Indycar racing because she's a hazard. If the old 110% qualifying rule still existed, she would have been disqualified from most races. She's a hazard on the track. And don't knock Randy Bernard, he took control of a sport that was on the brink of folding and turned it around. If it wasn't for him, we'd be looking at a Dallara/Honda spec series for the next 10 years.
@richdeveau24 I just checked the IICS results from last season. In the 17 races she appeared at, Milka's combined practice or qualifying time was outside of 110% only 4 times. Yet, you feel the need to dishonestly claim it happened for most of the races. You ask why Milka was allowed to race. I ask why you feel the need to lie about her results to make them look worse than they were. Here's hoping that Randy Bernard is more honest than you are.
@indyblimp I never blamed Dale Coyne, I'd race a four-year old if he brought me millions to my team. But do you not realize how slow she is? She's a hazard on the track and has so many times almost taken out the leaders when being lapped. When road courses come up, she's consistently slower than most of the Lights field. Seriously, if you can't beat the Lights field with a car that has twice the power, you don't belong.
@richdeveau24 I realize how slow Milka was. I also realize that the IICS's most severe crash/injury came in the only race Milka did not run in (Conway at Indy). Finally, I realize that only Milka's biggest detractors would call her a bigger track hazard than the crash trio (including your blessed Viso) that ran at KVR last season. Do I really have to post a highlight reel of Moraes's best bonehead moves to prove how ridiculous the "Milka is the biggest hazard" argument is?
She was slow in sports cars, too, folks. I remember the Grand-Am race she 'won' with Andy Wallace at Homestead. She was in the car for a few minutes and went a lap down if I recall; Andy drove the pants off the car and got the win.
Honestly, Milka is a very determined and nice person and I just wish she would find another role for herself. It's past time to hang up the gloves. My suggestion would be to take an ownership role in DCR and use the car to promote young Venezuelans talent.
To be honest, she'd better go for NASCAR or other stock car competition...she proved to FAIL MISERABLY @ open-wheel...
I'm serious....I was watching her times at a test she and Danica did...it was like...Danica making the 5th best time and Milka 7th (out of 20~35 cars), or something like that. I wonder why she didn't realize how much more (positive) exposure she'd get at NASCAR.
@ATDOINFERNO It's got nothing to do with whether it is open-wheel or not. Have you seen this video? watch?v=EzQ2TErl7cw The problem is "Just can't drive". Saying she's fast at Daytona means she's good at it is like saying a 5 year-old should be in MLB because he can throw a ball, ANYONE can do it as long as you know which pedal is throttle and have legs long enough to push it down.
If she's in a car as tricky as the cup car at Indy, she'd have problem staying with the pace car under yellow.
Whenever a "man" on the Internet kicks a female driver like Milka, Danica or Simona when they are down, does it make you proud to be a fan of it? Should it? There is no sane explanation for why Milka deserves all of this abuse when the IRL could have developed a minimum speed rule years ago (Anybody remember Marty Roth?). Posts like we see here just reveal and punctuate IndyCar's incompetence and the dysfunction of its fanbase.
If Milka truly is so bad for the IICS, then how come, after three seasons of Milka and even more seasons with Marty Roth, the IRL STILL didn't have an official minimum speed rule as 2010 began? Is it really Milka's fault that the IRL had their head up their asses for all those years? If Milka can't run within the rules, then she must go. However, that rule must exist FIRST for Milka to be failing at it. Changing the rules only AFTER the ESPN article about Milka was unprofessional.
But Milka, why go out doing 3 laps in the end of qualifying and getting in everyone's way at all? It's not like you can make it to the top 6 of the group. And you drove 30 mph on pit exit holding up a Penske in the race, how about knowing how slow you are and let everyone by, that will make you much more popular in the paddock.
@Hmkls "Getting in everyone's way"? Hardly. Thanks for that untruthful attack on Milka. The truth is that RHR spun early in the session ON HIS OWN and THAT is why he lost his two fastest laps for causing the yellow flag. Instead of admitting his own mistake and moving on to race day, RHR goes and publicly blames a woman for his self made problem. IMHO, he's not much of a man to do that. Milka is slow, but she doesn't deserve such lies from you or unprofessionalism from RHR either.
@indyblimp What lie? Are you kidding yourself? Name ONE road race that she isn't the slowest, in several of which she had been black flagged so that she does not *getting in everyone's way*, that's the truth so get over it.
@Hmkls You lie when you claim that Milka is getting in "everybody's" way. That is an exaggeration. If that is too big of a word for you to understand, Google it. The truth is that virtually all of the current IndyCar grid has little to no sports car racing experience. If they did, they would be able to handle multiple slower cars since the majority of ALMS and GrandAm grids run outside of 107%. Instead, all the IndyCar grid does is complain like little children. Get over your lie? Nope.
@indyblimp You keep writing this crap as if it's everyone else' fault that she cannot drive. Either you're retarded or you're trying to get in her pants. But just so you know, an academic woman like her probably won't consider you if you had to Google "exaggeration" to find out what it means, lol.
@Hmkls You're obviously an expert on crap and retardation from personal experience and will always know much more about those subjects than me. With dysfunctional "fans" like you, no wonder IndyCar races get such low TV ratings and attendance. Thank you for proving that professionalism and IndyCar rarely meet anymore. Come to ARCA, Milka. ARCA has higher ratings on SPEED in each of the last two seasons than IndyCar has on Versus. With hmkls on his side, Randy Bernard will surely fail.
@Hmkls You're a much bigger expert (most likely from personal experience) on what it takes to be retarded and full of crap than I ever could dream of being. Good luck with coming here and showing yourself to be a "man" who obviously enjoys publicly kicking a woman when she is down. FWIW, I originally agreed with you that Milka should leave IndyCar by going to ARCA. Since you're stupid enough to argue with someone who agreed with you, Google the word "idiot" to learn more about yourself.
Isn't it interesting that the IRL puts the confrontation vid on their page but not Milka's response? Add to that the public potshots toward Milka from Randy Bernard and Brian Barnhart and you realize that THEY are the unprofessional ones. Milka, take the hint God sent you by being so impressive with a failing engine at last year's ARCA test. They accepted you. Indycar obviously never will. Go to ARCA in 2011 and make the IRL pay on the track for the error of their ways. GO MILKA GO!!!
Milka honey Im sure you have a great heart and alot of passion for racing but when you are 12mph slower than the leader on a street course (Toronto) its either time to find a new team or try Indy Lights!
I feel bad for ya Milka, even today you got pulled from the race because you couldn't keep up... seems like everyone in the world is against you. You're talented, keep pushing and don't give up. Big fan of yours over here. Keep smiling and keep going forward!
@Villeneuve27 nah not the treasurer or anything, just hate to see all the hate on her - I'd like to see her on a different team/car. That's when I'd hold out the final judgment but she does a lot of good (kids books and such). You can tell in the video she's hurt a little bit. She won a lot of races against good drivers before she got to indycar.
@free2game Viso, Wheldon and Matos also currently drive thanks to "national money". If fairly and evenly applying your standard, you'd call for their heads too. But you didn't do that, did you? Instead, you posted one more piece of proof of a double standard toward Milka. What is good for others is allegedly awful for Milka.
Wheldon is a paid driver. And he's won the Indy 500 and an IRL Championship. Matos isn't anywhere near as bad as she is either. She's getting a free ride and she's dangerous as hell to all of the other drivers, let alone painfully slow. She actually got out qualified by Indy Lites cars on some of the road courses this year.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@free2game Your attack on Milka was partially that she was running on "national money". Yet, when I pointed out three other drivers in the IICS that are also running on "national money", you fail to attack them at all. FWIW, your silence about Viso in your reply was GOLDEN. That, even more than your justification of Wheldon and Matos, proved your hypocrisy toward Milka. Like I said, Milka is slow, but she STILL deserves fairness instead of the hypocrisy and lies shown in these comments.
@Matt007b It appears that Milka will never be treated fairly in IndyCar. The attacks in this thread prove such hypocrisy and lies. As long as Milka continues to keep a certain media princess from calling herself "the only woman driver in IndyCar", certain people will ALWAYS attack her. When Milka tested in ARCA last year, she was accepted and ran well with what we now know was a dying engine. Let the baby (Danica) have her bottle and leave the grumps behind. GO to ARCA in 2011, Milka!!!
Milka, don't worry about RHR because it is your race-
He has his race and now that he is "the man rep for the race against cancer" he will realize that sometimes just being in the race is important. Keep your head up!
And I call her a "girl". No offense meant. She is a grow woman. A lovely lady. And she has much courage and will power, no pun intended, to stick with this in the face of so much vitriolic waste from people lacking a iota of class.
4 times in her last 8 races, Milka gets punted by another driver. This time, it was by someone who finished 3rd. ARCA wouldn't know a rough driving penalty.if it crawled into their underpants and ass fucked them. Milka, I humbly apologize for suggesting in 2010 that ARCA would respect you more than the IRL did. Clearly, I was wrong about that. I couldn't help notice how many worthless hypocrites who mourned Dan Wheldon 4 months ago went back to Twitter today to celebrate your incident.

Patrick Sheltra does know how to win...when he's driving. Have you seen any sponsorship on Sheltra's cars? Exactly. Then Citgo throws their blood money at him of course he's going to jump at it with the side effect being Milkanddonuts.It's a shame when actual GOOD female drivers like Simona deSilvestro have to fight for everything and this hack doesnt.

@InvisibleTeeth FWIW, Recycling Services and Ferguson Enterprises (along with others) would be mighty surprised to hear your FALSE CLAIM that the ARCA Sheltra #60 was unsponsored in 2010. Your choice to attack a proven champion like Patrick Sheltra just to take such a dishonest swing at Milka backs up my claim of how foolish and short sighted some INDYCAR fans are. If Milka was truly that bad, you wouldn't need to lie about her career and current car owner like that to prove your point.
indyblimp 11 months ago
@indyblimp I never attacked Sheltra as a driver. I'm questioning his choice in drivers that he stepped out of the car for.
You think he REALLY wants a crappy driver like Duno in his car? He loves Hugo Chavez's blood money.
He's only 24 and the reigning champ and quit to put a 38 year old never was in the seat? That is just plain stupid.
InvisibleTeeth 11 months ago
@InvisibleTeeth According to you, Milka won the Panoz GT Winter Series Championship and multiple overall and classes in sports car races (including a class win at the Petit LeMans) because she is a "never was". Frankly, I'd trust Patrick Sheltra's honest "stupidity" over your dishonest "intelligence" any day of the week. It still amazes me how many "men" on the Internet not only need to kick a good woman like Milka when she is down, but then try to hold her down so they can keep kicking her.

Have you ever seen a possible IICS sponsor walk away while calling the complete fan base "too dysfunctional"? I have, and it happened before Milka ever opened this account. Funny how that goes, huh? Those of you who need to kick a woman when she is down proved more about the lack of respect in the IICS than I could ever put into words. People post this stuff here and then act shocked when they hear that Firestone doesn't want to renew for 2012. Cause and effect can be a beautiful thing.

The worst thing is that she doesn't even realize how slow she is. How can you turn the blame on Hunter-Reay? Milka, wake up! Has anyone ever told her she constantly gets worst lap times than most of the Lights field? She's a joke of a driver and the fact someone would actually pay to put their company's name on a car she is driving is pure insanity!
richdeveau24 1 year ago
@richdeveau24 Milka's "pure insanity" brought Dale Coyne many millions of dollars in sponsorship last year. Yet you give us your "sanity" free of charge. If you consider that Coyne has basically no chance in hell of competing with Ganassi, Penske and Andretti on a regular basis no matter who he puts in the car with his limited budget, Dale sure looks more in touch with reality than you are.

@indyblimp Hugo Chavez is wasting his money on her, if he wants a Venezuelan driver so bad why does he not go with EJ Viso? He's no Franchitti but he can at least keep up with the field. Having Duno in the field ruins the credibility of the sport. Randy Bernard has stated repeatedly, he wants the best drivers he can possibly get. When Duno has a ride and guys like Tomas Scheckter, Paul Tracy, Raphael Matos, Oriol Servia, etc. don't, then something's wrong.
richdeveau24 1 year ago
@richdeveau24 Simple math would dictate that you would have to get rid of up to four ride buyers (or Milka and up to three salaried drivers) to fulfill your driver fantasies. To exclusively blame Milka for all of what has created the culture of ride buying in the IICS is absurd. BTW, is that the same Randy Bernard speak that couldn't convince Firestone to continue their exclusive supplier contract? Let me guess. You'll probably just unfairly blame Milka for Firestone wanting out too.
indyblimp 1 year ago
@indyblimp Did I ever say anything about "the culture of ride buying"? No, I'm simply saying that Milka doesn't belong in Indycar racing because she's a hazard. If the old 110% qualifying rule still existed, she would have been disqualified from most races. She's a hazard on the track. And don't knock Randy Bernard, he took control of a sport that was on the brink of folding and turned it around. If it wasn't for him, we'd be looking at a Dallara/Honda spec series for the next 10 years.
richdeveau24 1 year ago
@richdeveau24 I just checked the IICS results from last season. In the 17 races she appeared at, Milka's combined practice or qualifying time was outside of 110% only 4 times. Yet, you feel the need to dishonestly claim it happened for most of the races. You ask why Milka was allowed to race. I ask why you feel the need to lie about her results to make them look worse than they were. Here's hoping that Randy Bernard is more honest than you are.
indyblimp 1 year ago
@indyblimp I never blamed Dale Coyne, I'd race a four-year old if he brought me millions to my team. But do you not realize how slow she is? She's a hazard on the track and has so many times almost taken out the leaders when being lapped. When road courses come up, she's consistently slower than most of the Lights field. Seriously, if you can't beat the Lights field with a car that has twice the power, you don't belong.
richdeveau24 1 year ago
@richdeveau24 I realize how slow Milka was. I also realize that the IICS's most severe crash/injury came in the only race Milka did not run in (Conway at Indy). Finally, I realize that only Milka's biggest detractors would call her a bigger track hazard than the crash trio (including your blessed Viso) that ran at KVR last season. Do I really have to post a highlight reel of Moraes's best bonehead moves to prove how ridiculous the "Milka is the biggest hazard" argument is?
indyblimp 1 year ago
She was slow in sports cars, too, folks. I remember the Grand-Am race she 'won' with Andy Wallace at Homestead. She was in the car for a few minutes and went a lap down if I recall; Andy drove the pants off the car and got the win.
Honestly, Milka is a very determined and nice person and I just wish she would find another role for herself. It's past time to hang up the gloves. My suggestion would be to take an ownership role in DCR and use the car to promote young Venezuelans talent.

To be honest, she'd better go for NASCAR or other stock car competition...she proved to FAIL MISERABLY @ open-wheel...
I'm serious....I was watching her times at a test she and Danica did...it was like...Danica making the 5th best time and Milka 7th (out of 20~35 cars), or something like that. I wonder why she didn't realize how much more (positive) exposure she'd get at NASCAR.

@ATDOINFERNO It's got nothing to do with whether it is open-wheel or not. Have you seen this video? watch?v=EzQ2TErl7cw The problem is "Just can't drive". Saying she's fast at Daytona means she's good at it is like saying a 5 year-old should be in MLB because he can throw a ball, ANYONE can do it as long as you know which pedal is throttle and have legs long enough to push it down.
If she's in a car as tricky as the cup car at Indy, she'd have problem staying with the pace car under yellow.

Whenever a "man" on the Internet kicks a female driver like Milka, Danica or Simona when they are down, does it make you proud to be a fan of it? Should it? There is no sane explanation for why Milka deserves all of this abuse when the IRL could have developed a minimum speed rule years ago (Anybody remember Marty Roth?). Posts like we see here just reveal and punctuate IndyCar's incompetence and the dysfunction of its fanbase.

If Milka truly is so bad for the IICS, then how come, after three seasons of Milka and even more seasons with Marty Roth, the IRL STILL didn't have an official minimum speed rule as 2010 began? Is it really Milka's fault that the IRL had their head up their asses for all those years? If Milka can't run within the rules, then she must go. However, that rule must exist FIRST for Milka to be failing at it. Changing the rules only AFTER the ESPN article about Milka was unprofessional.
indyblimp 1 year ago
But Milka, why go out doing 3 laps in the end of qualifying and getting in everyone's way at all? It's not like you can make it to the top 6 of the group. And you drove 30 mph on pit exit holding up a Penske in the race, how about knowing how slow you are and let everyone by, that will make you much more popular in the paddock.

@Hmkls "Getting in everyone's way"? Hardly. Thanks for that untruthful attack on Milka. The truth is that RHR spun early in the session ON HIS OWN and THAT is why he lost his two fastest laps for causing the yellow flag. Instead of admitting his own mistake and moving on to race day, RHR goes and publicly blames a woman for his self made problem. IMHO, he's not much of a man to do that. Milka is slow, but she doesn't deserve such lies from you or unprofessionalism from RHR either.

@indyblimp What lie? Are you kidding yourself? Name ONE road race that she isn't the slowest, in several of which she had been black flagged so that she does not *getting in everyone's way*, that's the truth so get over it.

@Hmkls You lie when you claim that Milka is getting in "everybody's" way. That is an exaggeration. If that is too big of a word for you to understand, Google it. The truth is that virtually all of the current IndyCar grid has little to no sports car racing experience. If they did, they would be able to handle multiple slower cars since the majority of ALMS and GrandAm grids run outside of 107%. Instead, all the IndyCar grid does is complain like little children. Get over your lie? Nope.

@indyblimp You keep writing this crap as if it's everyone else' fault that she cannot drive. Either you're retarded or you're trying to get in her pants. But just so you know, an academic woman like her probably won't consider you if you had to Google "exaggeration" to find out what it means, lol.

@Hmkls You're obviously an expert on crap and retardation from personal experience and will always know much more about those subjects than me. With dysfunctional "fans" like you, no wonder IndyCar races get such low TV ratings and attendance. Thank you for proving that professionalism and IndyCar rarely meet anymore. Come to ARCA, Milka. ARCA has higher ratings on SPEED in each of the last two seasons than IndyCar has on Versus. With hmkls on his side, Randy Bernard will surely fail.

Good luck with coming here and showing yourself to be a "man" who obviously enjoys publicly kicking a woman when she is down. FWIW, I originally agreed with you that Milka should leave IndyCar by going to ARCA. Since you're stupid enough to argue with someone who agreed with you, Google the word "idiot" to learn more about yourself.

Isn't it interesting that the IRL puts the confrontation vid on their page but not Milka's response? Add to that the public potshots toward Milka from Randy Bernard and Brian Barnhart and you realize that THEY are the unprofessional ones. Milka, take the hint God sent you by being so impressive with a failing engine at last year's ARCA test. They accepted you. Indycar obviously never will. Go to ARCA in 2011 and make the IRL pay on the track for the error of their ways. GO MILKA GO!!!

@free2game Viso, Wheldon and Matos also currently drive thanks to "national money". If fairly and evenly applying your standard, you'd call for their heads too. But you didn't do that, did you? Instead, you posted one more piece of proof of a double standard toward Milka. What is good for others is allegedly awful for Milka.

@indyblimp
Wheldon is a paid driver. And he's won the Indy 500 and an IRL Championship. Matos isn't anywhere near as bad as she is either. She's getting a free ride and she's dangerous as hell to all of the other drivers, let alone painfully slow. She actually got out qualified by Indy Lites cars on some of the road courses this year.

@free2game Your attack on Milka was partially that she was running on "national money". Yet, when I pointed out three other drivers in the IICS that are also running on "national money", you fail to attack them at all. FWIW, your silence about Viso in your reply was GOLDEN. That, even more than your justification of Wheldon and Matos, proved your hypocrisy toward Milka. Like I said, Milka is slow, but she STILL deserves fairness instead of the hypocrisy and lies shown in these comments.

@Matt007b It appears that Milka will never be treated fairly in IndyCar. The attacks in this thread prove such hypocrisy and lies. As long as Milka continues to keep a certain media princess from calling herself "the only woman driver in IndyCar", certain people will ALWAYS attack her. When Milka tested in ARCA last year, she was accepted and ran well with what we now know was a dying engine. Let the baby (Danica) have her bottle and leave the grumps behind. GO to ARCA in 2011, Milka!!!
