      She's done a great job under intolerable pressure. I had a garage pass last year at the Iowa Speedway race and saw nearly all the drivers in that environment. Unlike all the others Danica has to stay almost entirely out of sight and go everywhere as fast as she can. If she stops, even for a second, she is surrounded by rows and rows of fans and has to attend to them instead of the business at hand. Under those conditions it has to be almost impossible to maintain full attention to the job. BTW, I would recommend a cold pit pass to anyone attending an IRL event. the drivers are phenomenal, and without joining a team how do you get closer to these incredible machines?

      Congrats to her. It wasn't a circumstantial win was it? Tell me she flat out beat everyone.

      Refraining from posing in a swimsuit in Sports Illustrated might help to alleviate some of that pressure.

      well it wasnt a toe to toe win it was all about fuel milage ..helio didnt wanna risk running out and lose a ton of points so he opted to throttle down but a win is win..look at last years indy 500 under rain no one said any less about that one..

      I would absolutely punish her......in bed.


      on a serious note, wow would I love to meet her. Watching her on TV, the most recent one I saw on the tube was when she was on Ellen. Completely normal and down to earth.

      You watch Ellen?

      My brother met her at Indy when she was a rookie. He said she was "hot".
