Another surprise we got at Boman Gray Stadium in Winston Salem, NC was the appearance of Danica Patrick...
We did see Danica, in fine print on the back of a lady fans T-shirt. This says something to me and offers some encouragement too.
If the fans, some of them at least, are willing to buy Danica apparel, then there just may be hope for the many gals we see racing today.
And, if she ever decides to go full time in a stock car, look out Nellie, here we go with an onslaught of female wannabe's just like the Jeff Gordon phenomenon we witnesses some fifteen years ago.
Just think about it, she could be a very positive influence on our sport, and she is preceeded by Juan Pablo Montoya in that he has shown you can go stock car racing after driving wine and cheese cars, or should I say, Congnac and caviar in the case of F1. We can only hope.
