Indycar != NASCAR . . . I know that's nit-picking considering both involve racing cars around a track, but the cars are different, and fans of the two will say they're different.

Second, Danica Patrick finally won a race, the Indy Japan 300! I will post a pic of Danica Patrick in honor of this momentous occasion:

As stupid as NASCAR redneck jokes are, they're even dumber given the drivers in IndyCars.

Do you consider, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" funny?

Honestly, I don't care about either kind of car racing. All I know is I'd hit that.

Let's get back to the discussion at hand, shall we?

If only for the dinner table grace scene, which was the perfect satire of every post-race NASCAR interview.

(the movie went to the big time extreme, which did get old. However, I have a soft spot in my heart for it because the producers truly did watch NASCAR and pay attention to some really subtle details about the sport and the people involved)

I suppose that makes F1 "redneck," too?

don't get the danica patrick thing... being the hottest racer in nascar (or indy, of whatever the fuck she's in) is like winning the smartest person in FL award. Not very difficult!

The smartest person in Rhode Island moved to Connecticut. That made the average IQ of both states go down.

Danica is hot only relative to her competition in Indy...however, she doesn't compare at all to other girls...

But yeah, car racing is dumb.

I don't care how dumb it is, if they all looked like Danica I'd definitely watch that circle dance. Great pics btw!

you're dumb.

(really, I can see how one doesn't think she's "stunning" but not hot in comparison to other girls? Are you banging Marisa Miller or something?)

+1 to someone who can actually appreciate racing.

If she were an actress or something she would be a dime a dozen beauty, plain and simple. Don't get me wrong, she's pretty, but just not as amazing as she's made out to be

She's prettier than half the anorexic crap that Hollywood puts out these days.

Being in the swimsuit issue was odd, I'll freely admit. I wondered why the hell she'd do it. It was supermodels and... Danica. No other female athletes. She was putting herself with some pretty good company.

Now, I don't care for racing. I simply don't see the appeal, but Danica is good looking. Maybe not Maxim and GQ, Playboy or penthouse quality, but in terms of other racers, yeah, she's good looking.

However, I'm fond of gymnists:

what about in terms of other women though?

I don't think it's fair to compare her to a blonde bombshell with fake tits. If she didn't drive a race car I'd still find her exceptionally cute. The fact that she drives a car 220 mph makes her hotter.

Well, it's about damned time. She was in danger of becoming the Anna Kournikova of racing. Or something.

vs. Danica? Danica takes it. But to Keith's point, yea Danica's pretty. But so are are a lot of girls I went to college with. In fact, a lot of them were even prettier. Danica's only "uber hot" relative to the other people she's racing against.
