The Official NASCAR Talk Thread

Hinchcliffe has won multiple races in a car that she couldnt consistantly put in the top 20..

Who? :unsure:

 

[doozer]

She only has three DNF's and one of those was in the big one at Talladega.

She's been driving stock cars for a year and half! If she hasn't started getting top 15-20 finishes by this time next year then we can talk but I think its to soon to say she isn't capable. She did win a open wheel race and was close to winning others including the Indy 500.

I'm not a rah rah Danica fan although I do pull for Stewart-Haas and MW Racing (or anyone but Jimmy!) but I just think that saying she is a bust this early is ridiculous.

Will people be saying the same things in the next 3-5 years about Johanna Long, Kensie Ruston, Mackena Bell or someone else (Travis Pastrana) that there only getting rides where it be in Cup, Nationwide or Trucks because of looks &/or bringing in sponsor money from outside endorsements!

She's never been close to winning the Indy 500.

She leads laps late in the Indy 500 and that was because she was on a different fuel strategy then everyone else. I don't know that I would say she was close to winning, but she did lead laps.

If her name was Gary Patrick, she wouldnt even be allowed to drive the pace car.

Or the hauler.

I think this is the first truck race I've watched in its entirety

 

[YankeeVol]

That was Dillon's fault

 

[YankeeVol]

Nice win for Blaney

 

[Burhead]

I think this is the first truck race I've watched in its entirety

The trucks have put on better shows than Cup and Nationwide the last couple of years.
