Best choice for a cover photo by this app in a long time.
Elijah McCord Jan 25, 2012
It actually requires more skill than u think it's just that it's things that aren't noticeable by anyone who doesn't care
Zach Sullivan Jan 25, 2012
I'm not hating on women competing I'm just saying she is so popular cuz she is a woman and not because she is a good driver and yes Indy cars do take a good amount of skill but I think NASCAR is the least skillful motorsport around
Alanda Burroughs Jan 25, 2012
All you negative, women hating, non-pro drivers have nothing better to do but show jealousy towards a woman for trying to compete in a sport predominately controlled by men. I think it's great that she's achieved the mild success that she has. Heck...how well would some of you do in a car racing at 175 mph+?
Michael Sexton Jan 25, 2012
A third at Indy is damn good. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of you pro mouthpieces couldn't make it one lap at race speed alone on the track.
Kevin Rehbock Jan 25, 2012
I'm no fan of her but it doesn't take away from the fact she can drive better than a lot of us on here. Not that we have any experience driving an IndyCar or purpose built stock car.
Zach Sullivan Jan 25, 2012
Whatever shes a crapy driver she is just moderately good looking and a media gold mine sry but that's the only reason y shes been around for so long. Ps NASCAR sucks
Tomas Franquelli Jan 25, 2012
Good. She sucks. Also, I'm pretty sextist, but she sets women back a few years.
Colin Dzendolet Jan 25, 2012
maybe I should've read more, that was the last I heard, fail dammit
Colin Dzendolet Jan 25, 2012
she's not quitting Indycar, she's just skipping the Indy500
Kai Andrew Carlson Jan 25, 2012
Way more money for the world worst racing event, if not the worst sport, if you can call it that. No one but the pit crew gets my respect in NASCAR.
John Trimborn Jan 25, 2012
yes, way more money in NASCAR
Alex Leu Jan 25, 2012
Isn't she going to make a shitload more in NASCAR?
FoxRS Jan 25, 2012
Well, she still can participate the North American motorsport 'callendar'. :-D
Richard-Aaron Parker Jan 25, 2012
Why is she quitting Indy car? NASCAR is so hard to watch, I respect what they do but they need to have more than one street course, that might help
Zack Hickman Jan 28, 2012
She is a joke. Their are so many other people in the world with more driving talent. It's a marketing scheme is all. It's ridiculous.
Shane Gardner Jan 26, 2012
There's about a handful of other female racers with far more talent.
Rozay Jan 26, 2012
I'm a funny ass clown
Troi Stoessel Jan 25, 2012
How about looking it up yourself if you really want to do it....clown
Michael Gallagher Jan 25, 2012
I'll do it. Let me be lucky and get noticed. Should I strip naked to get noticed? Tell me how to race professionally and I'll go do it.
Michael Sexton Jan 25, 2012
You guys all sound like your 10yrs old. How many of you have raced as a pro let alone even raced in a weekly series?
Jason Brower Jan 25, 2012
She's a bad racer, and her main sponsor supported SOPA.
Tj Blankenship Jan 25, 2012
Oh... Go Daddy... I hate everything about her now.
Gregory Fatguy Jan 25, 2012
Oh look,first time I ever seen her fully dressed.

I don't like Danica. She has poor sportsmanship. Michelle Mouton will always be the best female driver ever.
Paul Trahan Jan 25, 2012
Indy cars are more along the lines of an F1 car. Open wheels, more speed than NASCAR, and they run Indy Cars on ovals also.
Jack Higgins Jan 25, 2012
Yeah 240mph open wheelers
Emil Kleijsen Jan 25, 2012
Okay, I'm total idiot when it comes to NASCAR, but isn't IndyCar like those Highspeed open-wheelers? If not, what's the difference between Indicar and NASCAR?
Description: "But now when the focus is Nationwide and running at NASCAR...I don't want to compromise...it's disappointing but I have confidence that it will come together in the future."

Pratik Parija Jan 26, 2012
*Insert women driver joke* lol
Elijah McCord Jan 25, 2012
@Brandon. Bow chika bow wow
Brandon Largent Jan 25, 2012
Looks like she took it pretty hard from the back.
Patrick Schalk Jan 27, 2012
Yeah she really likes attention.
Elijah McCord Jan 26, 2012
@Kevin don't u remember Chloe Mayre? The lesbo with the modded vette? She got banned like 3 times
Kevin Rehbock Jan 26, 2012
Chloe who? Whoever she is, I don't think she stands a chance against an actual professional racer who's been doing so since an early age. Is this Chloe a pro racer as well? If not, I would love to see her ass get handed to her some day.
Elijah McCord Jan 26, 2012
Chloe told me to say that she could kick danica's a** in a race and then a whole bunch of other stuff about u guys being sexist... you know... just more of her trying to show off her pride. (I'm probably gonna get punched for this)
Michael Gallagher Jan 25, 2012
"she is a female.. Shouldn't expect any less" lol. Sorry. I only know one good female driver.
mankala Jan 25, 2012
danica:" you gave me the car and expected me NOT to crash it? ha! guy in the white suit: *looks at her ass disapprovingly.*
Adenis AK Ruci Jan 25, 2012
Oh so you assume I was in the kitchen.
Tj Blankenship Jan 25, 2012
That helmet so doesn't go with that outfit.
Paul Trahan Jan 25, 2012
@KeX. For sure they do. I just like giving Danica a hard time ;) I don't see her hype. Yes she is a pretty face and helped bring attention to the IICS, but that was about it. She constantly sucks up sponsorships when other drivers could use it.
Gregory Fatguy Jan 25, 2012
Don't complain,it's in perfect condition. (:
Jason Brown Jan 25, 2012
The other driver was merely trying the show her who her daddy is... :-p
KeX Lim Jan 25, 2012
@Paul. To be fair, many racing drivers do that.
Paul Trahan Jan 25, 2012
Lol, she does make it a habit of faulting others when it doesn't go her way.
Zachary Sindelar Jan 25, 2012
Why would you hit me while I was making a phone call! You could of hurt my little dog in my lap!! Plus you made me spill my Starbucks coffee and while in the mix you screwed me up while I was applying make up.
Bill Brown Jun 09, 2012
Neither talent nor beauty!
Micah Lau Jan 25, 2012
I'm with you, TY. She resembles a 70 year old bag lady I see every now and again in downtown Calgary.
Ty Piper Jan 25, 2012
In this picture at least
Ty Piper Jan 25, 2012
Beauty? Uhhh she looks like a dog or something
Rami Wilson Jan 25, 2012
Talent and beauty a great combo.
turbo_geoduck Jan 29, 2012
is that her idea of pole position? sorry, I couldn't resist. I thought she was a serious racer... she's pretty hot, though...
Dom Nolan Jan 26, 2012
A woman who's a race car driver and does pictures like these!!! Oh yes!
Devin Mortenson Jan 25, 2012
That 57 chevy is completely backwards in colors it looks so weird to me
Shannon Sims Jan 25, 2012
She's got some big NASCAR a$$ feet!!
Tomas Franquelli Jan 25, 2012
Hahahahaha, who is that? Because its not Patrick.
Alex Garcia Mayorga Jan 25, 2012
The pose is fine.. Its the face expression and lack of airbags that ruin it. Horrible photographer who couldn't steer her in the right direction.
Fndo Sgd Dtwda Jan 25, 2012
@tony the pose that she's in ain't that attractive because her face doesn't show any emotion and if the car would move she would fall of
Dillon Dixon Jan 25, 2012
If I owned the car, I would be pissed if she put her shoe on the hood! Scratching the paint!
Doug Thompson Aug 13, 2012
All these picture are not Danicas body. They have to be photo shopped. It is amazing what you can do with photoshop.
Jeriot Dowland Jan 26, 2012
Plus she races which is a huge turn on!
Antonio Falsetti Jan 26, 2012
Stop. She's smoking hot.
Tyler Crook Jan 26, 2012
ewwwwww, anyone realize that, there's her face.... the rest is absolutley garbage.... her body is that of an eleven year old. gross.
Kevin Rehbock Jan 26, 2012
With untouched high resolution photos, yes?
Elijah McCord Jan 26, 2012
Yea Chloe Mayre has bigger tits than her
Benjamin Davidson Jan 26, 2012
Kind of looks like a raccoon that just had a flashlight shined in its face.
Rami Wilson Jan 25, 2012
If you watched much Indy racing you would know she is not in top shelf equipment. She is the highest finishing female in the Indy 500 and almost won it. She has won championships in legends cars.
Michael Gallagher Jan 25, 2012
She has a dead face and looks flat chested. Fail
Kevin Rehbock Jan 25, 2012
I'd inject some fuel into her combustion chamber.
Timothy Hooker Jan 25, 2012
She is like Anna kornikova was for tennis...never won a major but was the highest paid in women's tennis...if ya ain't good at it at least look good doing it.
Jason Brower Jan 25, 2012
She does these kind of photoshoots, those go daddy commercials, does poorly in races and then is surprised when she isn't taken seriously as a racing driver?
Colin Dzendolet Jan 25, 2012
no kidding Patrick, I think she's sexy as hell
Boyd Boudreaux Jan 25, 2012
I don't like how the fenders cover up the headlights.
Paul Trahan Jan 25, 2012
@Brett. Yep sure was. I wish Simona de Silvestra would get even a tenth of the attention that Danica gets. Simona is tough and good driver. As soon as she gets a car/team that can back up her talent she will be a force to reckon with.
Knox Ferraro Jan 25, 2012
I respect her for her accomplishments as a woman in a historically male dominated arena, and she's got a great body, but she's definitely not a model.
Brett Wilson Jan 25, 2012
@Paul: wasn't her win at Motegi a split field as well? So it was a shortened race with a shortened field.
Fndo Sgd Dtwda Jan 25, 2012
Her face is nice but it looks like she's bored which ruins the whole pic
Raymond Reynoso Jan 25, 2012
She annoys me. Not that I'm complaining but if she wanted some respect for trying to race, she should stop showing up everywhere in a bikini.
Paul Trahan Jan 25, 2012
@Aaron. That's why I don't like her. She's all hype. The only race she won was due to the race being cut short cause of rain. She didn't even win a full race.
Joseph Paventi Jan 25, 2012
Damn this pic is a little creepy with that facial expression
Aaron Snyder Jan 25, 2012
The way they talk about her you'd think she had won alot more races.
Abigail Williams Jan 25, 2012
Same face in both pictures lol
Rami Wilson Jan 25, 2012
If Brad or AJ can't win Daytona She's third in line of who I will be cheering for. Maybe dumb ass will stop saying "lets go racing boy's" I can't stand that.
Rami Wilson Jan 25, 2012
She can drive my race car anytime. Figuratively and literally.
KeX Lim Jan 25, 2012
@ Dan. Check out Zachary's post a few pictures back. I think he is a sexist a-hole.
Zachary Sindelar Jan 25, 2012
Stick with this, because driving isn't in your gender.
