Well, I guess I'm going to be the odd woman out and kind of agree with Richard here. I never liked the way Danica Patrick used her looks to get to where she is. I can remember when I first saw one of her magazine shoots showing off her body and thinking that she hasn't even accomplished anything except to pose for magazines. In my opinion it was the only reason you heard anything about her. It seemed like every time she did a new photo shoot she did a new tv interview and I never thought much of her in those interviews. She seemed stand offish and the interview of course was always about her photoshoots and not about her racing skills. I have not seen her in interviews lately because I just don't pay much attention to her anymore. I'm just not a big DP fan.

Having said that I do however think it is wonderful that a woman has won a big race. Well done! I also don't think she needs to thank any woman that came before her. In my opinion she needs to only thank her team, her sponsors, probably her parents and maybe even the Almighty God Above I would love to see it done in the Cup world one day!

I am a huge Carl Edwards fan so before anyone throws it into my face about him posing on magazine covers I just want to say that Carl was already an established driver and a winner and everyone knows that he is a huge fitness nut.
