Danica Patrick Report

Why is Danica Patrick in the Sprint Cup?

 
What does Tony Stewart think about her?
 
 
Danica Patrick is only in the Sprint Cup because Go Daddy pushed NASCAR into excepting Danica Patrick into the Sprint Cup because she is a woman, and her name is Danica Patrick.  Tony Stewart said back in August (in an interview) that he is thrilled with her performance. He said that he is giving her worse cars then his on purpose.  In other words his theory is that you don't give a rookie at tennis a $500 tennis racket.  So he said that with the level of car that she has, she is doing great.  He said that he didn't expect her to do that well.  When Kyle Petty was bad mouthing Danica, (two weeks ago) Tony Stewart got right in their and defended her, saying that she has driven much better then he ever did in his whole career.  In fact Stewart is giving her better cars each week.  At Atlanta Danica got a top 25 finish and her car should have only been able to get like 35th.  So give her credit.  She is a fairly good/ but in-experienced driver.

Oops. The last comment about Danica was from me. I forgot to change Brian's name to mine. Pardon. It'll never happen again.

Maybe she has to be "full of herself" because she feels the pressure and competition in a sport that is dominated by men. She's breaking new ground. There are men drivers who are also "full of themselves" and others who you wonder how they made it to the cup series. You go girl.

you know thats a misconception hahaha.

They don't like her because she's very full of herself, and seems to have only made it to the cup series because of sex appeal.

Stewart has to defend her because Danica is obviously has not found a grove and if Stewart doesn't defend his driver she will feel rattled further.
I think Danica is book smart when it comes to racing, but she hasn't been able to put it together on Sunday.

All stewart cars have been bad this year, not just hers. And her's likely aren't any worse. They're all the same technology, its a matter of how you set your cars up - and they haven't found setups that work for her yet.
Her finish isn't stewart giving her better cars, its her and her team figuring this out better.
