The hillbilly sure is getting some extended milage off Danica's marketing wagon.

I'm calling bullshiz on this whole deal. Nothing but an attempt to create hype for NASCAR and boost ratings.

 

Biggest "who gives a rat's azz" of the week.

 

PS: Danica told me in the shower this morning that "Kyle Petty is a dusty old never-was that needs to get rid of the dumbass ponytail." We just laughed and laughed as I helped her wash her back.

Did you pull a rabbit out of your hat?

Hey, how about someone tell Kyle and his father Danica qualified 10th and finished 7th at KS 1 1/2 mile speedway. Pretty much top ten throughout the race and passed her boss and Jr to 3rd position. And at this point the nay sayers dug back to 1949 to find a lady Sara Christian placed 5th in a NASCAR race.      Some data mentoring from teammate Harvick improved her capabilities. 

 

As an admirer of Danica's skills as a driver some searching was required.

 

Sara Christian finished fifth at the ninth race at Heidelberg Raceway in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The finish was the best-ever and only Top 5 finish by a woman in NASCAR history, until it was finally eclipsed by Danica Patrick and her fourth-place finish in the Nationwide Series Sam's Town 300 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 5, 2011.^[2]

 

Heidelberg Raceway was an American auto racing track which was built in Scott Township, Allegheny County, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It held weekly races and numerous special events between 1948 and 1973. It held four NASCAR Strictly Stock/Grand National (now Sprint Cup Series) and one NASCAR Convertible Division race between the 1940s and 1960s.^[1][2] In 1960, Heidelberg became the first track to fall off NASCAR's tour.^[
