      Michael Taylor, Kyle Petty was in NASCAR for 30 years and only won 8 times and he had far better backing than Danica Patrick. Unlike her, he only raced in one professional level motorsports racing. Danica Patrick raced in several and she became the most successful female race car drover in auto racing history. The FACTS don't lie.

      Even Marcos Ambrose, who coming from Australia had never sat in a stock car or even driven on an oval before he got to the US to start in the Truck Series (despite there actually being stock cars and ovals in Australia) did better than Danica Patrick and she had the luxury of having run on ovals previously, of being known well enough in the USA to have good connections to get good drives.
      While Ambrose never won an oval race in any of the 3 series, he did get quite a few good placings and of course did win Nationwide and Cup races on road courses. Danica rarely ever placed and almost mostly wrecked no matter what the track. I don't know of a Cup Series track where she didn't either get involved in someone else's wreck or caused one of her own.

      She was a good formula 1 / cart driver but not a Nascar driver. She didn't have the talent to drive a Nascar. She couldn't make the transition. She qualified on the pole at Daytona but couldn't drive in a pack. She should have gained some experience in some of Nascar support divisions before she got into a Nascar cup car. Maybe a late model or modified. She never earned her keep . She should even have made a couple appearances in a legend car race or something. Or just stayed in cart where she was doing pretty good.

It's done all the time by tacit understanding among all the male jockeys. It stinks. Most of Danica's crashes have been doneTO her, not BY her, btw.

    I remember when kyle won the first race he ever drove, in Arca. He started out as the flavor of the month, just like Dale Jr and Danica. Kyle drove for the wood brothers and Felix Sabados. When Richard retired, Kyle was forced to take over a ride that hadn't won since 1984 when his dad won his 200th race. Kyle actually ran pretty well until He lost two friends and his son in a little over a year. It was easy for anyone to see that is a race fan, not a nascar or indy car or f1, fan, but someone who loves racing that he lost everything when Adam got killed. too many people just don't want to admit that nascar isn't about racing, it is about making money. Dale Jr has had the best equipment money can buy and hasn't won a championship, but as long as he brings in more sponsorship money than he costs, they will keep him. I like what Aj said one time on tv. AJ never had a crash that was his fault and someone spun him or something and he said. "if you want to see if someone is a race car driver, put them in a sprint car. That pretty much says it all. 1200 lbs. 850 hp. no transmission. The motor is bolted directly to the rear end.

    • @cmoore185
      @cmoore185 10 років тому +1

      Ricky Rudd won a championship. Mark Martin just never won a cup championship. He will go down in history as the greatest nascar driver to never win a championship. In 89, they found a bolt in the carb that was the wrong size and took away all his points and money from a race he won. He lost the championship to Earnhardt by 34 points. He may still hold the record for the most wins in the sportsman/Bush/nationwide series, but I am not sure. They change the name every time they et a new sponsor.I am 65 years old and have been around race cars and motorcycles my whole life. Championships aren't that important but winning races is. Jeff Burton lost his ride with Rousch over sponsor money, not lack of talent. The same thing happened at RCR. Nobody has run good there since his grandkids started racing because that is where the dollars have gone. Joe Nemachek never was anything. Sterling Marlin went over 400 races before he won a race. The only races he ever won were plate races. Kyle isn't 30 yet, He and Denny will win championships and Kevin Harvik probably will, too. RCR hasn't had decent equipment in years. There is nobody in cup that has a better organization than Hendrick and I doubt they ever will. Even the the majority of the Chevy cars that win are running Hendrick motors and some like Stewart are running chassis, too. Jr. will be 40 this year. Nascar has done everything they could to find a way for him to win a championship, but if it doesn't happen this year, it won't.

    I can't say I disagree with him. Danica has gotten much better over the few years, but she I far more of a marketing machine than a competitive driver. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see her win but she just won't

    not likely... she's been racing professionally for nearly 15 years and she has just ONE career win. And that "win*" was a gimmie because everyone else ran out of fuel... kinda like how she pulled a 4th place out of her mid pack running ass at Las Vegas a year or two ago. She will NEVER win in Nascar, her biggest enemy is herself, the wrecks speak for themselves.

    Kyle is right on in his evaluation of Danica and what she means to NASCAR. They have to have the female fan in the stands and how do you do that? you put a female in the seat of a race car. I would venture to bet if she just raced against 10 others for 25 laps at Daytona she would end up 8th or worst if not in a wreck before the end of 25 laps. Pure NASCAR marketing big time with her in a car that's all

Danica meanwhile has posted a grand total of 9 tops 10s in Nationwide and Cup. So no, Kyle is the more accomplished driver and no matter how much you whine and cry, the facts will never support you.

If he new anything about being "a driver, or going fast" he wouldn't have sucked so damn bad. He never did shit in the sport but take a car from someone who had way more talent than him.

When you go stomp your feet wearing your sponsors colors they hate that.
