[QUOTE=Cincy'sMom]If I had read that BEFORE I came through Piqua today, I would have stopped and smacked some sense back into you!




You can smack her at the dog park

Amy, I'll hold Anna while you smack some sense into her

Well, this is Indycar and not NASCAR but, Danica Patrick finally won
a big one. I am so happy for her.

According to Boris Said, they made an agreement if they ever won the same weekend they would both shave their heads. Boris is just taking the green flag in Mexico City. Go Boris!!!

Hey now...wait a minute...I was just saying it was an awesome burnout! (But secretly I do like JJ, he's a GOOD DRIVER!)


I'm very happy for Danica. First time ever for a girl to win!

So what do ya think Cuzin Carl meant when he said in his post race interview that that was the most fun he'd had in his clothes in a long time? Does someone have something that they would like to confess???

[Cincy'sMom]

Missed that comment...Hmmmmm

He and David Regan did go hiking on Saturday, and they showed Carl with his shirt off in the pre-race. He claimed David had his off too until the cameras starting rolling. Makes you wonder what was really going on out there on the trail....

Carl's interview is about at the 5:20 mark.

Marcus Ambrose?

Sounds like a painter or poet..Stock Car Racer?

---------

Word is out that Patrick was allowed to win the Tokyo race. Her pit crew was tired of her whining and took up a collection for the 2nd place team.

What is KB's carbon footprint after that smoke out?
It really don't matter, Mexico City's air sucks anyway.

----
What Boris Said and what happened are two different things.

6 foot 5? Dang, I'd buy him lunch and wash his car if I caused him to crash outta the race!

Not necessarily a NASCAR/racing thought....

It's all about DP and her winning.

And what about all the other women who's shoulders she stood on to get there? Not only in open wheel racing, but in karts, drag, Indy car racing?

I can name a few right off the top of my head, Janet Guthrie, Ashley Force, Shirley Muldowney, Angie Semple. I forgot the gal who raced in the pink car for a while in stock cars.....

In these days of big money contracts there are very few sports and very few arse-leaks (My brother's term for athletes who think they poo don't smell)
who don't stop and think or thank everyone that came before them.

Example? Baseball. Those sissies (I love the game, hate the prices and some of the players) who ask for jillions of dollars to play a game where the worst is getting hit in the head with a ball....

Ask them about some of the history about the game and they can't tell you who Curt Flood is. Like, isn't that what happened after Katrina?

Yep, it's great that a woman won a race, I would have rather seen another gal do it....Not some Sports Illustrated bikini model.

----------------------

If you hear her mention any woman who paved the way for her win, let me know. It will probably be someone named Danica, who did it all on her own.

--------------------

I'd love to see her in NASCAR and go after a driver like she did last year...

BOOM BOOM, Out go the lights!

Then she'd cry and talk about people picking on her because she is a woman.

---------------
O.K., I don't have the bits to race at 200 mph, but she does.

[lizbud]

Danica did race in karts at the age of 11 or 12. She blew the socks off
of the other racers, boys or girls. I figure she deserves her moment.
