All of a sudden, something happened. Ray had a conversation with someone. "Listen, boy. Y'all are stinkin' up the show. That's not good for NASCAR. You need to be thinking about that."

Jeff Gordon posted:

"Alright, you've got a four second lead." It would never get more than four seconds.

You'd back it down?

Absolutely.

NASCAR's updated the rest of the series logos to match the rectangular-shape of the Cup series logo. Here are the regional series logos:

Somewhere in Arizona, a chiropractor laughs that the one he was dumped and quickly replaced for is now on the bad end of the deal himself.

But will a chiropractor keep you in the media spotlight?

Clay Matthews better be careful if he wants to stay in those State Farm ads because it could be clumsy Danica running stuff into Aaron's truck now.

e- I fail at humor- I see Kidc's point and agree with him. Also, we still don't know who's sponsoring Danica's double, do we?

They are socially isolated by their absurd work schedules, so the only relationship candidates they ever see are at the work place or at conventions/award shows/promotions for #brands. Those are also the only people that understand what their life is like, both with the public scrutiny and hectic nature. Also, sexy successful people tend to want to gently caress sexy successful people. So it all kinda adds up nicely.

I guess it rides on your definition of "successful". Danica's racing career was a joke, but she's turned herself into a household name with incredible marketing savvy and she's long seemed to have an insatiable desire to grow her brand.

I've always wondered which was more important to her.

Danica...take the hint...it's time to walk away.

I know that money talks and bullshit walks, but if she's having this difficult of a time finding a ride for Daytona I can't imagine it's going to pay anything special. I'm sympathetic to some degree, it wasn't all that long ago that she could command top dollar from top sponsors, so adjusting to the new reality must be really jarring and difficult. But the universe is trying to tell her to walk away. This is the sort of situation where you finally get some F-Class ride, only to get into an accident because you're in the way and you get hurt because of it. While she never really had any chance at winning, at this point her chances of winning are about as good as mine will be.

If the money isn't any good...
If the ride won't be competitive...
If it's not coming together and it's January...

Then why are you trying to make this happen?

Her words and expressions at the end of the season were not of someone who was enjoying this anymore.

By all means, if she really has the fire then good for her- but how could she? There's no way running in the back for years doesn't take the fun away.

No one would ever say this about anyone but Danica. She’s been a racing driver for like 30 years. You really think she just fully hates it now and is begrudgingly doing two more races as a cash grab? That’s idiotic, man.

I figured it was a done deal when she said she was going to do it and they were just waiting to announce specifics, but apparently not.

It's entirely possible she's doing it because she wants to, but:

That's not the "internal PR machine finds a cute way to craft an upbeat interview and shoulder tap the pit reporter" Danica. That's "I'm tired of this poo poo" Danica.
