RHR is a great kid and a promoter's dream as far as being a spokesman. He is also a good shoe.
Just as his looks have no bearing on his driving ability neither does any other driver's. So, why not discuss the ability here and the looks in Parc Ferme? |

danica will never win a race, she isnt good enough to be in irl, waste of a seat. Only reason she has the seat is because she is a marketing tool.

She isn't that bad!
There is Danica and then there is Milka Duno. Totally different entities. |

i'd have loved to see someone like Patrick Carpentier being given the chance Danica has in an AGR car
he did a storming job in a crap car at Cheever and it's just a shame drivers like him get overlooked whilst Danica gets the best drive on the grid I put her in the same bracket talentwise as someone like Eddie Carpenter, AJ IV or Jeff Simmons i think in the same equipment, they would do about the same job as her did you know that if she doesn't win this season she will be the only AGR driver ever to have not won in their first FULL season |

Wow Stradders, i did not realize that....quite a Record to own – the worst driver EVER to get in an AGR car!
I understand the need to have her in IRL ( P/R ), but when she whines on about how bad everyone else is and how unlucky she is, it makes me want to slap here. She whines about her bad luck, but the only time she has had a chance to win was because of other peoples bad luck. She whines about people hitting her, but forgets about the multiple pile up she caused this year, about her brain fade spins in the pits, and her brain farts in general. Look at Dan Wheldon after the last race if you want to see how to behave. He was an innocent victim when Sam Hornish lost control of his car and collected Dan on they way out, but he does not have a bad word to say about Sam to the TV crew. He accepts it as ‘one of those things’ and gets on with it. |

What a load of crap! She's blaming the car for stalling in the pit!"I barely got it going the second time, so that is something that needs to be looked into on the car." http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl.../SP9IRPTMA.DTL
Yea,I'll agree with that.I'd start looking in the cockpit first.Funny how she likes to use the word we when she screws up. |

Yes. If she didn't blame the car or others for everything that went wrong that most of the time was her, dug in deep, spoke well of others, wasn't arrogant I'd be happy to see her do well.

She has the potential and is the best female driver ever but has to get buckled down, have incident free races and just be consistent. It will come if you are in the position to win. I think she could be driving too hard and due to her lack of experience she is making mistakes.

I was thinking Denise McCluggage although part of me wants to pick Donna Mae Mims.
Since there have been just two female drivers in the IRL a "best ever" question is rather limiting... |

Turns out her and darren manning were using "mechanical assist" for the steering on the recent road course races. Power steering basically. Will they stop at nothing to get her a win? Sounds like pro wresting.
One irl driver said it wasn't fair they had an advantage over others in the races. |

Well, um, why don't the others request power steering?
