Wouldn't surprise me if Tony Gibson ends up getting scapegoated and canned before the year's out.

So she runs well at plate tracks? See Waltrip, Michael. Terrible on skill tracks, "amazing" on plate tracks.

Denny Hamlin has only started 7 races and he's ahead of Danica in the points.

danica is still learning, remember that this is her rookie season in sprint cup, and she rushed her development in the nationwide series. add to the fact that the race car is all new this year and the crews are still getting to know the car. note that danica stayed out of trouble this year at darlington, and she picked up 12 spots from where she started.

Why the hell do people whine and moan so much about DP?

Is it an ego thing - does it make you feel superior?

Or maybe it's just envy or jealousy.

For some, complaining about her is a separate sport within the sport of NASCAR.

Or maybe it's because she's terrible.

Let's see...she gets more publicity than the guy who won 5 straight championships.

She has her own dedicated ESPN columnist who writes multiple fluff pieces about her every week.

She has a dedicated group of adherents who constantly make excuses for her poor performances.

Danica has stated that she wants "genderless recognition," but when you strip the gender out of her stats the ugly truth comes forward. She sucks.

She is 31 and has exactly no track record for being a winning driver in any top level race series. (no wins in 60 Nationwide races, 1 win in 115 IndyCar races).

Who really expected her to be a consistent Sprint Cup top ten finisher?
