Danica Patrick in nascar?

Question

do yall think she would be good in nascar. or like the other open wheel and not fair to well? i think she should try a truck race to see if she likes it .

and do yall think she sould come to nascar or stay in the lndy cars?

Answer 1

Right.

Because all the people who came from other series have done so well.

In other words no.

Answer 2

I think she should stay put. There isn't much coming out of the open wheel drivers right now, and Danica has plenty on her plate as it is. But I do love Danica and would love to see her racing in the Cup Series someday! :)

Answer 3

she needs to master the easier to drive indy car first

Answer 4

Yes, if the money is right!! Nascar is all about the bucks, not talent! If she can pull in the sponsorship money it will happen! She has a following in the IRL much like Dale Jr. has in Nascar. Her being an attractive young lady that can drive a little bit will sell here!!

PEACE

Answer 5

she might try it

but i think the schedule to harsh for her

Answer 6

It would be great entertainment.

Or maybe just a cheap thrill.

I know it would be good for a few laughs.

Answer 7

i think that if she were to consider it, she should consider going the "scott speed" route and start in the trucks and/or nationwide and not jump right into cup. he's doing really well there and i'm guessing will be better prepared for cup when he gets there than many of those who jumped straight from open-wheel to cup.  

whether that is in her best interest, however, is highly questionable. she's a "marquee" driver where she is and putting "the most popular" (for whatever reason) in anything less than the marquee series (cup) probably isn't going to happen. but i think a nascar swimsuit calendar using pictures similar to her sports illustrated spread is definitely a product i'd have to consider buying...

Answer 8

I think she will have to come over soon..Indy car can't give the exposure nascar can..

Answer 9

she really should stay in indycar because she should stick with what she knows best and its obvious that only juan montoya has done anything good in nascar since coming from open wheel

dario and hornish arent doing anything and dario lost his ride they should both come back to indycars

Answer 10

She should stay in IndyCar.  She still has a lot to accomplish in it.  I doubt she's ever going to make her NASCAR debut.

Answer 11

NO she is a cry baby she cant even pass what 15 cars without crying what make you think that she can pass 42

her tears would flood the track every race because she cant win and usually wrecks

Answer 12

no she should stay where she is

I think she may have a crush on dale jr.

Answer 13

I don't think Danica would fare well at all in NASCAR.

I mean she really needs more IRL wins to even maintain her credibility as a top tier open wheel racer.....

Considering the down force the Indy cars create compared to the lack of down force in CUP, I think she would struggle big time.

Answer 14

Danica has only won one professional race in open wheels so far.    She is an ok driver, but not at the top of the hill in open wheels now even.   There are some very successful open wheel drivers currently in nascar, and they are all struggling at best.....not really even close to making the chase.   I'd love to see more of danica(I think she's pretty hot) but I think she'd have a very tough time in nascar......even though....the would probably make alot of money from sponsorships, and increase ratings a bunch.  she'd be better than dale jr at not winning much and getting lots and lots of advertisements and press.

Answer 15

I hope to GOD she won't ever go to stock cars, I don't have problems with women nascar drivers but Danica is just a huge cry baby and robby gordon gives NASCAR fans their dose of whining

Answer 16

i think that she is probably capable of luring a sponsor to her car for a year or so, but ultimately, she'll end up back in open wheel.  

Besides the IRL gives her lots of attention, and isn't that what all women want...attention attention attention...

Answer 17

Ok driver.  I'd like to see her try with the big boys.  I do not think she would last long.  She has to keep her mouth shut.  I think she should stay in Indy, but I could see her attempt truck.

Answer 18

i honestly don't see why people keep thinking she'll come to nascar.

she's not even doing that great in IndyCar.

she only has one win. big deal.

personally...i dont think she'll ever come to nascar.

and sorry to any fans of her..but i dont want her to come either.
