Danica Patrick

Did anyone hear that Danica Patrick has been running in a NASCAR series? I also found out yesterday that Michael Jackson died.

Here is my opinion on this whole situation. Even though no one cares or reads this.

Who cares if Danica Patrick is driving in the Nationwide Series. The media needs to stop making a big deal about it. Thats all I have seen. Danica this, danica in car that. Danica wrecks this, lets check where Danica is. Give it up media. All she is a marketing tool. She signed with the most popular driver in NASCAR history. You know she is going to draw in ratings.

I am not saying anything against her driving in the series. In fact, I think its great. The majority of NASCAR fans are women. This gives them something to cheer for. It will bring in new sponsors and money to the sport. All I am saying is will the media please give it a rest.

For example, ESPN, a station that broadcast a few NASCAR races and mostly all the Nationwide races, you never see anything about NASCAR on their station. Maybe something here and there but no consistency. They never really have anything on Sports Center about it. That is one thing that angers me. Then all of the sudden Danica signs to drive and hold the phone. Live break in on ESPN. Lets make sure we cover everything she does. Lets follow her to the bathroom. Lets put 60 cameras in her care and on her at all times so we can see her wreck. Or cry on the radio.

Ok, well I am done. I find myself rambling cause it angers me. I like that she is in NASCAR and I hope she does good. She loves to race and thats what I like about her. Anyway, all I am trying to say is media give it a rest. I knew Michael Jackson was dead the first time I heard it. I didn't need to hear about it for another four months.
