Is the amount of TV press Danica is getting for 4th place a little much?

If you haven't watched TV this morning, then you won't know where I'm coming from.

But hey, don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with Danica. She's probably a great lady.

It's just the way the press is blowing this up on TV this morning like it's something monumental that's going to change the world, just because she finished 4th in a car race. Good gawd, she's getting more press on TV right now than if the war had just ended.

It would be one thing if it was her own idea to pursue racing or something, but being that her dad is a former racecar driver and guided her along the way...well what's the big deal? It's not like this is some lady who accomplished miracles because she decided all on her own to pursue the sport with no outside influence.

Anyway, what a great day for this country! LOL!!

1. No

I'm not a racefan but this is kinda compelling stuff. Plus she's kinda cute.
