5 races would be a waste of everybody's time. would make for a nice publicity stunt though.

She should just go away. She can't cut it in IRL as it is.

Well she is 5th in points which either means she is better than around 15 to 20 regulars or they all can't cut it.

I still think she will be making a mistake coming to NASCAR.

I don't. What it boils down to is money. That's why you see more and more open wheel guys making the transition. There is more money in NASCAR for being that 10th place guy, if you catch my drift. She would stand to make more money if she can be somewhat competitive. Just ask Montoya.

How many wins does she have? How many starts. The thing I can't stand about her is that everytime something happens she has to confront another driver.

I am well aware that money is the attraction for NASCAR, as well as it is much more visible. But to me, a competitive driver, as she is, is not normally happy running for a 10-20 place finish when they are used to running in the top 5 or 6. Plus their career pretty much goes to a plateau as far as advancement. Ask Franchitti, Carpentier or Villaneauve.

Danica is no Montoya, not even close.

Danica wanting 8 million for 8 races. Her on track performance isn't worth it, but overall, it definitley would be smart for a sponsor. I'm hoping this is just a rumor though.

Let more open wheel invasion continue. I know this is a few days old, but MWR is going to have a test session with Vitor Meira. He insists that he's not leaving IRL, but it still shows that open wheel drivers still have aspirations to compete in America's top racing series.

Also Nelson Piquet, JR. is considering a move to RHR next year. I've read that he's plenty wealthy and could buy Hammond out which I could see. From what I hear, Piquet is trash, but I haven't watched him to base this with my own opinion.
