Read Loyal Homer’s argument that Danica should go to NASCAR and Bleacher Fan’s argument that Danica should stay in the IRL. As Loyal Homer points out , there is money to be made from winning a NASCAR race. No argument from me on that. But, as is the case with most sports, the ability to earn revenue OFF the track is just as important as winning on the track. And, endorsements usually come with wins… that is for everyone but Danica Patrick . In fact, her lone win the IRL – last April in Japan – failed to score any new endorsement deals . ...

Read Loyal Homer’s argument that Danica should go to NASCAR, and Sports Geek’s that she should go to Formula 1. Shelley Long David Caruso Jesse Ventura Deion Sanders Danica Patrick??? Notice a trend? As far as the first four names are concerned, each realized success in a particular field, then foolishly attempted a change to a different platform – with abysmal results. I say ‘foolishly’ because they allowed a moderate level of success to fool them each into thinking that they were, for lack of a better term, bigger than they REALLY were. For example, Shelley Long and David Caruso , after a season ... Read Full Story

Athletes using steroids and other illegal performance-enhancing drugs are a serious issue and not something to joke about. The dynamic Go Daddy Girl, Danica Patrick , recently tried to pass off an ill-conceived comment about drug use and conceived it as a whole problem with the athletic/drug culture. In a radio interview, Patrick said that she would use performance-enhancing drugs if she knew she would not get caught. Patrick, who finished third at Indy last month, said, “Well, then it’s not cheating, is it? If nobody finds out?” “Yeah,” she added. “It would be like finding a gray area. In motorsports, we work in ... Read Full Story

    Danica Patrick proved she still knows how to get around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a hurry. It was at Indy in 2005 where Patrick made the splash that turned her into a sports celebrity. She briefly led and nearly won the Indianapolis 500, which would have made her the first woman to capture the famed race.   Patrick didn't lead any laps in this year's 500, but she ran near the front most of the day and finished third Sunday behind winner Helio Castroneves and second-place Dan Wheldon. It was her best finish in five attempts to win the Memorial Day ... Read Full Story

Can Danica Patrick take Indy 500? Everyone from ESPN to Playboy is paying attention:- I grew up around racetracks and tinkering on cars in the garage with my dad, and I went nuts in 2005 when it looked like Danica Patrick was going to win the Indy 500. She’s been one of my favorite sexy athletes ever since, and on Sunday, Patrick will make her 5th start in the big show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If she wins it this time, nobody is going to treat it like a fluke or even a novelty: She won an IndyCar Series event in Japan last ... Read Full Story

@H2H: Well I own a Camry and drove an ES for a week and the first thing I noticed was how it drove identically to the Camry...the only thing that didn't feel exactly the same was the Lexus-style tilt pedal for the gas. But while I wouldn't ever buy a Lexus ES, other Lexi aren't just marked up Toyotas. The LS is an unbelievably built car. And there was a time when even the ES was built to significantly better standards. That said even the ES...
