Is It Just Me? .. Or Does Danica Patrick Need To Grow Up?

Question

http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/8362050/Danica-confronts-Milka-on-pit-road

Seriously! I root for her to win, place or show every time she gets into her car and I think it's great she is competitive in most of her races. With that being said .. she needs to stop running around trying to confront other racers after things happen that every racer goes through. Yes she is in the spotlight and has a bullseye on her back because she is a woman. Doesn't she realize that her rants and tirades only make the bullseye bigger and make people think of her in a negative way? What do you think? Tell me how you feel! I can take it!

Answer 1

It's not just you -- Danica needs to stop acting like a spoiled six-year-old that isn't getting her way.  Every time she pulls stunts like that she loses credibility.  She wanted to race with the boys, and she got her wish, so now she needs to learn to play by the same rules and conduct herself the way the boys do (usually -- someone already mentioned Gordon/Stewart).

Answer 2

Wrong section.  IRL is the 2nd room to the left.

I answered it several times and the question is already old.  No offense intended but if you look at the F1 and IRL sections its already a "dead horse."  Again no offense intended because you're a good poster around here.

Later

Answer 3

It's just you......  Danica is all right... but she should have hit that Chavez "puppet" right between the running lights.. Woman is an orange cone when it comes to racing.

Answer 4

that's just part of racing.

Answer 5

I like her.  Can't help it, i like her spunk.  She does need to chill a bit otherwise she will upset to many folks and end up shooting her career in the foot before it really ever gets a chace to take off.  But I do like her.

Answer 6

I use to like her and respect her but now I have lost all respect for her.  I understand she has a temper but enough is enough and she seems to be on permanent PMS. You know she throws a fit about the same time once a month (this is no joke)   She needs to grow up and I wish her husband would get her in check or her mouth in check because she can not seem to do it.

I'd like to see her give NASCAR a shot and wine to those boys.  Heck they would put her in her place (the wall) the first lap.

Answer 7

think we should let em mud wrestle

Answer 8

If you guys hate Danica for this, then you all best be hating Kyle Busch as well.  How many times has he confronted another driver?  Either in person or on camera?  I thought his firey personality was what made him so appealing?  Danica is no different.

Double standard much?  Hypocrites.

Answer 9

Wrong section, but No she is fine!

Answer 10

Danica's hot

Answer 11

Three such incidents in 3 years.  Not bad.  I've seen lots worse in NASCAR.  I think Miko needed a good talking to anyway.

Answer 12

It seems to me that both of those women need to get on Prozac or something.

Danica, for just being too confrontational all the time. Oooohhhh pooooorrrr baby, got held up in PRACTICE!

Why not PRACTICE going around her????

The other driver Milka Duno needs to get over herself.

Did you hear her??? "Yes, I saw you, now get away from me". He's a spoiled little ^&%$. Upset that another driver is questioning her? s***w her.... and for throwing the towel not once, but twice at Danica, she should get some sort of discipline from Whoever governs those things over in that group.

Answer 13

She definitely needs to grow up!  The whole spat was because Milka held her up IN PRACTICE.  Waaaa, she needs to get over her prima donna self.  How many people has SHE held up during races?  She is never going to be much better than a mediocre driver in the IRL.  She may get a couple more wins and a handful of top 5s if she stays at it for another 5 to 10 years but that is all I see her doing.  I suspect her novelty will eventually wear off and Andretti Green will want to put a contender in her seat.  The Anna Kournikova of motorsports will have to rely on her looks to make a living because her "talents" don't appear to be in racing.

3 STR8 N 08!!!

Answer 14

Yes that ungreatful woman needs to start acting like a man to become the best out of them all or if she dosent she is just a

little scared girly girl

Answer 15

First, I root for Danica too.  I have a picture of her Japan win next to me right now but she has to STOP!  Every time she confronts another races she looks more like a spoiled brat that thinks she is being targeted by a great conspiracy.  She needs to focus on winning and not getting involved in stupid spats that don't help her at all.

Answer 16

That fight reminds me of the Gordon-Stewart fight a few years ago.

Answer 17

I for one can't wait to see her start in on the wrong driver and get the big pimp hand laid down on her

Answer 18

She looks  F  U  L  L  grown to me if u know what I mean!!!!!1
