Danica gets 4th at Indy! She had her rookie moments, stalling in the pit and spinning right before a restart, however, she overcame all that and finished in the top five, outrageous!!!!! She also led several laps. I had watched her in the Toyota-Atlantic series last year and knew she was the real deal then, today now everyone knows!

I hope her performance will inspire other women to go on track! I teach driving at Thunderhill Park and consistently women do not have a clue what their capabilities really are. It is so cool to be there when they start to get an idea about that! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

At my region's last autocross, a woman who competes in GS in a Mini wore a T-shirt that she bought at one of Danica's races. Front: "I drive faster than the boys." Back: "Deal with it!" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

She has talent and the best equipment available. But that quote on a shirt is enough to make me hope she never gets a checkered flag in IRL. I'm sure her marketing people dreamed it up, but her career doesn't need to include "male bashing". She's a fine driver, she doesn't need that kind of BS.

...eh.....I don't have a problem with it....actually I think it is kinda cool....I would buy my daughter one....she already has a "Girls Kick Ass" sticker that her mother loves (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Then again, I have a dark humor, and have a closet full of all the old No Fear shirts with similar slogans....my personal favorite "...drive it like you stole it...."

I agree, I don't take it as male bashing at all. I read it as "I'm here to win just like you are", but with humor (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

My daughter is still a bit young for that shirt. I need to get one made that says "Me do, me do!!!!".
