I'm interested to see how Danica does. I really like her (though I am all for any woman in the sport honestly). She did well for her first race, but I'm waiting to pass judgement until she races a number of races.
I'm hoping JPM gets a good season in. I'd love to see him take home a championship soon  |
Montoya is pretty good- an aggressive sort He is. I dig Ambrose as well. There's not many drivers I really dislike- Kyle Bush would be the exception.
I think Danica will do okay. Her Jump to the Nationwide series has generated a lot of buzz. I heard on the radio today that ESPN has reconfigured their programming this week for the Nationwide series. SPEED channel broke previous broadcast records for their channel with this past weekends Arca race. Of course it was due to Danica's debut in the stock car circuit. Danica will be a rating and marketing machine- even bigger that when she was in the open-wheel circuit.
I'm sure Danica will get some flack from some of the old-school NASCAR fans- maybe even some of her collegues. Kinda like what Jeff Gordon received; you know... Californian young guy, road course driver, different from the standard NASCAR driver. Of course Danica's stigma will stem from her being a female. The girl has moxie and she has skills. I hope she does well.
