An Unhappy Danica Patrick
IRL officials are considering a weight restriction for all their drivers. No, they’re not concerned about too much weight. Instead, they’re concerned about too little weight. It’s been long argued by some drivers that Patrick has an advantage because at times she weighs in at less than 100 pounds. Some say that gives her an advantage because she can go faster, since she weighs less than most drivers in the series. While that seems plausible, lets stop for a moment and realize she has yet to win a race. Obviously her weight is not an issue making her drive faster. Of course Danica feels this is nothing more than a case of the Indy Racing League making it more difficult for her to compete in the IRL series.
Give me a break Danica. Haven’t you figured out yet that you’re not in the IRL because you know how to drive. You’re in the IRL because they needed a good looking spokesperson to draw attention to what was a struggling series. Now people tune in to the races not so much to watch the race, but simply to catch a glimpse of the IRL cover girl. I know I know, this may sound very sexist, but Danica, you haven’t helped yourself much as far as trying to build an image of a race car driver when you pose for pictures like this…
Tell me Danica… Just what are you trying to sell there?
Stop your crying and complaining Ms. Patrick. You’ve developed an image other than a race car driver. It’s hard to believe you’re really concerned about the weight limit in the IRL because it will effect your racing career. Most people know you’re upset about the weight restriction because you’re more concerned about whether you’ll fit into your swimsuit for the next issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Stop posing like that Danica, and then maybe you’ll be taken seriously as a race car driver.
Just my two cents,
Dr. Rus
