DANIA COMING TO JR'S STALBE ????

[SledNeck]

[gregg52]

thats true

i was watching a show the another night about the business of

nascar

amp sales went up like 25% with jr

there were a few other related stories

bottom line was nascar is still a very good maketing tool

[SledNeck]

"I just don't think it's a sport for women," Richard Petty said in an interview with The Associated Press. "And so far, it's proved out. It's really not. It's good for them to come in. It gives us a lot of publicity, it gives them publicity.

"But as far as being a real true racer, making a living out of it, it's kind of tough."

Tony all but spelled it out on the NHRA broadcast on Monday afternoon, he is looking at her for his 4th car in 2011or12. Harvic should be his 3rd car with Danica in his 4th. She has been to the shop on several occations and has been learning all about the cars and how they drive. No real shock if Jr, (a good friend of tony's) puts her in a N-W car. After all, JR-Motorsports is a "hendric" development team.

[LMITOUT]

Harvick as the 3rd driver? That'd be something!

[harvey lee]

I'll bet the fans would cheer more for her than that 18 guy.

[Sifty]

I also heard Harvick was going to be driving for Stewart after his contact is up with Childress.

Sifty

[harvey lee]

Yep, its that time of the season for the changing of teams.

[gregg52]

ya i think all she would be good for is marketing for a couple yrs if you look at tony and jeff are the only open wheel guys that really made it big time look at all the guys that have tried even just look threw the trucks and some of the bush drivers who couldnt make it in the big show

even now montoya after 3 yrs just gettin there still not really winning and he won alot hornish caprpentre etc etc she might have a slight advantage with tony and the hendricks connections but i doubt she would win much if at all but as i said good for the almighty $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[fishinchicks]

Isn't she sticking to trucks and Nationwide? She's not leaving the IRL like the others have done. Kinda like just dipping your toe in to test the waters.

As for Petty saying women can't make it in NASCAR...it is a sterotype that guys like him are not willing to break. There have been females in the truck series before, but they have had to go with smaller sponsors, or run it without any backing. The good ol' boys club makes it difficult for them to do well.

[harvey lee]

You have that correct fishinchicks. It's the good ol boys club for sure.

[gregg52]

boy i dunno bout the good ole boys deal

you know everham treid to bring a gal up but she disappeared

i think if you can get a gal to run well it would be a piece a cake to sponsers over 40% of the stands is women that opens a lot of doors from nylons to femine products rather than levitra and vigra every other commericail..lol

i saw danica on lettermam a couple of times she is like wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy full of her self not sure how popular she will be more of kyle b personality than say jeff or jimmie but then again shes HOTTTTTTTTTT ...LOL

[lawdog]

boy i dunno bout the good ole boys deal

Actually she didn't disappear, she became Mrs. Evernham a couple weeks ago and she's back running sprinters now... Was just at Huset's two weeks ago.

[Longline]

I seen erin broadcasting some WOO shows too. Might have been the Knoxville Nationals.

[gregg52]

well whatever the reason she didnt make it if she was good enuff shed still be there married to ray or not

its tuff for good male drivers to make let alone a female

i believe phsyical strenght comes into it 3-4-5 hrs in one of those cars at 120 degrees is also mentally depending remember outa all the people trying to get to the big show there are 45-50

good enough to make it and 20 of them just barely makeing it how many winners have there been this year so now you are down to what less than 10 odds are almost like the lottery...lol

[SledNeck]

what makes people who are not successful in indy car think they can race in NASCAR when a stock car is much more difficult to drive.

[gregg52]

ya its kinda like a quarterback trying to be a pitcher or vise versa
