I wonder how Danica will be "welcomed" by NASCAR fans, if and when she moves up from ARCA. Strangely, forty percent of NASCAR fans are women (says <span style="font-style: italic">The Richmnond Times-Dispatch</span> today). 40% women! I had no idea.
Most likely, that 40% of NASCAR's Bud drinkin', Marlboro smokin' women ain't gonna like the sexy vamp image that Danica has successfully crafted for herself in the Indycar/IRL world where the demographics are TOTALLY different: a <span style="font-style: italic">very</span> small percentage of the fan base is female and they tend to drink chardonnay, not Bud Lite.
However, <span style="text-decoration: underline">IF</span> Danica starts winning (she is fully capable of whipping most of the drivers, on most tracks, IMHO), things could be very good for her.
We'll see. I don't think Danica's handlers will keep her in NASCAR unless she has really good results, early on.
But I don't think NASCAR is ready for purty gurls driving their Detroit iron
