Mike Bianchi (Orlando Sentinel) has an editorial piece calling for NASCAR to embrace Danica as their savior. If you or anyone you know has swallowed poison and need something to help vomit it up...this article will be the best medicine.
...Just like that, I’ve saved the sport. I’ve given Brian France and his fellow NASCAR suits the idea, but now it’s up to them to do everything in their vast power to implement it and make Danica Patrick a relevant.
She’s got everything NASCAR could possibly want, except for the fact that her name isn’t Danica Earnhardt Jr. She’s got the personality, the pizzazz, the zeal, the sex appeal, the media adoration and fan adulation. And she certainly has the fire and desire.
“I want to do well,” she said at the Daytona 500 media day. “I want you (media) guys to have good things to write about me. I want people to be entertained. I want them to believe in me as a driver.” Believe me, Danica, everybody wants to believe in you. You are, without a doubt, NASCAR’s great sprite hope.
Remember when JFK proclaimed that we were going to put a man on the moon? It’s time now for NASCAR to focus on putting a woman in victory lane. Danica Development should be the sport’s No. 1 priority. Do whatever it takes to make her competitive. Give her the best car. Give her the best equipment. Give her the crew chief who is the best cheater (see Chad Knaus).
