    I think she did a spread in either Maxim magazine for FHM recently...caused a bit of an uproar of former female drivers who called her out on using her sex appeal to her advantage.

    However, where she wins out, is she has some real ability as a driver. For all the inroads women have made in sports over the past 15 years, motorsports have always been a 'boys club'. Her winning would be a HUGE deal.

    That would be FHM -

    Yeah. I'm in love. Actually, she's got all she needs. I've been hearing about her for a year. Tough, talented, smart. She on a good team--Rahal is sharp. It just takes a lot of luck to win that race. It's going to be fun to watch.

    And strangely enough, she is from a little farm town just about 20 minutes north of Rockford, Illinois.

    Danika is from the Beloit ,Wisconsin area...same as me!! This area is starting to be a hotbed of racing. Matt Kenseth. who was the Winston Cup champion I think last year is from just up the interstate about 25 miles. Travis Kvapil who was the Nascar Truck champion from last year and now is the Nextel cup racing is 10 miles up the interstate in Janesville. Stan Fox who is known for that horrible Indy crash a number of years ago is also from Janesville. (You remember the crash. S.I had a photo of his car in mid air with his legs hanging out of the bottom.)

    There are a huge number of drivers from all over Wisconsin but it seems that this little area is getting a lot of attention. And I dont mind it at all that Danica is from here and posing for magazines!!!image
    I am on a budget and I am not afraid to use it!!

    Well guys, the bubble has been burst.

    Danica's fiancee was on the Indy trials coverage today. image

    Do you think he lets her drive?

    Yes, but only a stick shift! image

    ......and then he checks her oil.

    Good luck to her, at Indy.
  • ctsoxfanctsoxfan Posts: 6,246 ✭✭
    Did you see her on Letterman Monday night? Quite nice, I must say...

    Danica was born in Beloit WI, according to http://www.danicaracing.com/

    She's decent looking. 5'1.5" is a little short for me, though. Not to mention that whole engagement/fiancee' talk...

    Oh, yeah. Well, since she's only 5'1", I guess I'd just have to kick her out. What was I thinking anyway?
