If you read the attached article, once again Danica makes reference to getting a "competitive ride". What difference will THAT make? She's been in "competitive rides" from day 1, and still manages nothing much better than a 20th place finish. Talk about being delusional....

maybe the talk about a "competitive ride" isn't about racing at all? She has a new boyfriend now,,, maybe that will make her faster...... really... I wish her all the luck in the world,,, racing is a hard "business" for all the drivers......

I agree!  From the moment the relationship with GoDaddy (a long-time supporter)was terminated, an already mediocre driving career was in a downward spiral of which nothing could fix.  Fortunately for her, SHR was able to put together a multi-sponsorship deal with more than one entity: Nature's Bakery, (which eventually threatened the organization with a lawsuit complaining that certain criteria of the deal were not met, which was ultimately ironed out.)  Aspen Dental was wooed enough to "sink their teeth" into a limited deal (pun intended) and ExxonMobil agreed to help "fuel" the rest.  When her public appeal hype had faded and was combined with the lack of results, she was tossed out like an internet domain name that had not been paid for.  I'm surprised that a deal was struck with GoDaddy again to help fund the marketing scheme of the "Danica Double" or "Danica 2.0", if you will.  MAYBE dating an NFL quarterback DOES have its advantages!  She should be grateful for the time she spent with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.--although a lackluster driver himself, he inadvertently gave her something she was not able to earn herself:  A celebration in a NASCAR Gatorade Victory Lane.  Despite her latest efforts to help her maintain her marketing "brand(s)", her time driving a race car will be viewed as a free pass into NASCAR NeverNeverland to join other women whose stock car career(s) deteriorated over time; such as Shawna Robinson, Janet Guthrie, Fonty Flock and Patti Moise, just to name a few!  But you must admit:  it might be "fun" to watch the hype start up again!  As GoDaddy touts in its latest commercials:  (it's free and you can do it in less than one hour!)  Given her history for wadding up race cars, more than likely that's how it all will end!

Fonty Flock was one of the racing Flock brothers... not a female. I think they may have had a sister that raced a few times tho..

My bad! Forgive me for the hangover effects of insomnia!  I meant to include the name:  Ethel Mobley! It should have read this way: "the Flock Brothers " sister, Ethel Mobley" instead!

If it indeed turns out that Danica has a ride in the Daytona 500 and the Indy 500, this is a good thing for motor car racing in general.  It adds interest from the fans that love her and the other fans.

I'll write the promo for NA$CAR:  "Danica to compete in race against ex-lover!  Will he continue to rub her the wrong way?  Will she decide to bang him, one last time!  Tickets on sale now for this exciting event! Be there!! Don't miss all the hot action on the track and off the track!"

On the not so good side of this, if she loses control of her temperament and decides to change her race strategy into a demolition derby (as she has done on multiple occasions) it could turn out to be a bad day for anyone that gets collected up as collateral damage when she goes in to Go Daddy Carnage Mode.

Whether the rides are top level, competitive or mediocre, makes no real difference as her history shows she has a special ability to bring the car in multiple laps down and score a top 30 finish with the best equipment and the best crew chiefs.

That's all I got...

Maybe Aaron has agreed to shoot some GoDaddy spots. None of this deal came together until their romance was announced. JS.
