Danica is a good solid driver. In the top 10 of IRL. She's not an elite driver though. She'll never be an F1 driver because Bernie Eccelstone (sp!), the CEO of F1 is a total sexist pig and one of the biggest assholes in racing today

You obviously don't know very much about F1 racing! There is a broad range of skill level in F1 drivers just like in IRL and in NASCAR for that matter. But so much depends upon the financial base of your team in F1. There are a few elite teams in F1 that win almost all the time. Danica would be an average driver in F1, just like she is in IRL. But nobody would give her a ride in F1 To say she would come in last all the time in F1 is just ignorance. Also, WTF does crying have to do with anything?

It was amazing. We created an unintentional "WAVE" as she passed in the Paddock stands by cheering for her as she passed by. It was great. Dang fuel!!!

I sat in Penthouse B to see her pass of Wheldon on the restart. Very solid. She was running a fuel strategy after a tough day at the track and could not max out at the end on fuel. I tell you what though. I tell my little 9 year old girl that she does have a chance which i think is true. She does have this unique way of driving turn 1. If she wins this thing, it will be the greatest sporting accomplishment by a female ever. She ran Texas last year and shut Kanaan down. Is this the year?

This is the year I became a fan of Danica. She is a very good driver and she will win
more races.

That is a great seat watching them come into turn 1. I'll bet watching the 1st lap from there is incredible!

I was at an autograph session in Scottsdale, Az for Danica in December. When I saw her I told her I got goose bumps when she made that pass for the lead. She said she did too and that she had recently watched a video on "Youtube" where someone in the stands captured the pass. Just thought you might like to know that.
