      She was probably worth the initial investment, but to me that experiment is clearly a failure.


      About the only good thing that she does bring to the sport is the women that watch nascar because of her.... Danica no doubt is a money boat but your right she has to start bringing in some results
      If you can't race it or take it to bed! It ain't worth having!

        Leaving the sport......probably not. I'd say even if Stewart cuts bait someone would pick her up. She's a better Indy car driver so heading back there results wise would make sense. I'd bet financially for her though it would not.

        There's plenty of other issues in nascar. I happen to think Brian Scott is more ready than Ty Dillon right now. I say that liking Ty and Austin both. They seem very likable and embrace the dirt every chance they get. Grandad pays the bills, so it is what it is.

          I don't think it's right that the dillons run the mods at volusia. Bring nascar money and run in the 2nd division, jump in a late model and get smoked!

            If they have legal equipment I've got no problem with it. Some of those mod guys are in just as good of stuff, they just might not have as much of it or as much $$$ to get more. I've seen both be good in a late model.

            I can see your point, but if they're legal there's no legit reason to keep them out.

              The thing that bothers me about Danica, is equality. The media gives her press, whether she did something to earn it or not.

              As far as the Dillon boys running mods, I see no problem with that at all. Their participation adds to dirt track racing and takes nothing away. As long as amateurs can compete with professionals in dirt, you pay your money and take your chances. It's actually cost efficient to run mods, if your doing it on a part time basis. They also enable Dale McDowell to race LM.

                Agree^^^, plus TDR has several young dirt drivers on their development team.
