Danica Patrick in the Indy 500, came in third, which is the best that a female driver has ever done. Now any of you that have followed her career at all know that there has been a tremendous amount of criticism towards her and her Sports Illustrated shoot and other modeling choices she has made.
My opinion this is first she’s a gear head… just a rather attractive or one might say Hot Gear Head. She’s not a super model, but she is more attractive than the average driver.
But second, let’s look at how the sport has sold itself for many a year. How most car and driver type magazines that appeal to all the gear heads has often sold themselves too… With beautiful women. They have hot trophy girls for doing the awards and of course the magazines, they have always capitalized on having a hot women standing next to a car. The sexiness of a women has always been compared to the sexiness of a mans car.. Race cars, driving and race car driving has long been dominated by men.
The difference is, she is a women and has the sexiness herself… she doesn’t need someone else to make her appear sexier… so what’s wrong with that?
On top of that, every car and every driver depends on sponsors… and even male drivers have independent sponsors… but it’s often a bit harder to attract women to the sport. They can’t have a sexy man in pictures and expect to appeal to most fans in Indy sports. But with Danica, for once they can… and their is no need to flower her up with something else…
Because Danica Patrick is in a male dominated sport she will always be criticized for who and what she does… no matter what it is and the better she gets, she will only get criticized more and more… that’s just the name of the game. But I have a lot of respect for her and what she does and I think if she were to completely ignore the fact that is a a beautiful women, she’d probably get more criticism… people would start thinking she was stuck up or didn’t like men or something.
Congratulations to Danica Patrick for her third place run in the Indy 500 and perhaps in time she will get even better… I hope she does. As well as taking advantage of the modeling career she has right now… as long as she continues to keep it within reason… with discretion is what I mean… she’s the hottest race car driver I’ve ever seen… and much easier on my eyes!
