INSTA Danica Patrick - Photo from her new book - December 17, 2017

what's the title of her book? "People like me because I'm hot but a horrible race car driver"

 

Give her credit for being versatile. She's lost races in every series she's raced in.

 

And she has over $11 million in winnings in 2015 alone. She's done just fine.

 

I definitely get the sarcasim, but just in case anyone is wondering it's titled "Pretty Intense".

 

Beautiful and hot woman!

 

Well you can't really call her a "a horrible race car driver" when in NASCAR on any given week there are maybe 10-15 of the 40 drivers that have a real shot of winning the race (and she was the 3rd or 4th driver on her team), she still had a good career. 1 win in Indy Car, 7 top 10's in NASCAR and over $22,000,000 in winnings not counting 2016 and 2017 (the web site I found did not have those years) or her contract or endorsement worth.

 

Plus she's likely now going to go on to earn the kind of money that will dwarf all that, and then make those haters really jealous of her post-race career.... That's what really irks them all... lol.

 

I don't know much about racing, is that good? Like the cars cost millions of dollars, and the teams of mechanics and pit crews and travelling around to events across the country and such must cost a lot of money. Does her winning 11 million dollars give everyone a healthy profit, or are they even breaking even?

 

That's a little unfair. She is a middling pro., the racing equivalent of a .500 sports team. That's not terrible. It's not terribly exciting either.

 

One of NASCAR's early super stars once said "The best way to make a small fortune in racing is to start with a big one." — Junior Johnson

So most of the money from each race goes to the driver that is where the 11 million comes from. The money to keep the team running comes from the sponsors who are on the car. That can cost up to $25,000,000 a year.

 

A middling pro a 500 team. Really. I can tell you never watch racing. 500 accounts for you winning half your starts. DUH. She never even came close to winning a race in nascar. She is a joke. A terrible stock car driver. The only reason she was in nascar was she was female and could get enough sponsorship dollars. She was a little better open wheel racer but still only won 1 race there. For someone that has won 1 race her entire career is laughable really that anyone thinks she has any talent

 

She is single again.

 

Not to speak for PoolDiddy but I think by ".500 team" he was talking about the grand scheme of things as opposed to a win-by-win basis. Meaning, at the end of the year, a 500 team finishes in the middle of the pack. Danica Patrick, at the end of the year, finishes up in the middle of the pack. Not a bad comparison in that context. Pretty easy to tell that's what he meant considering nobody in racing wins half their starts.

 

You just made yourself sound incredibly ignorant. A middling team in sports where it's one player/team vs another (football, basketball, tennis, etc.) is a team that finishes around .500. A middling team is sports such as racing or golf, where it's one person vs. a lot of players, is generally somebody who doesn't win, but finishes high enough in enough events to remain a pro in their respective sport. In golf that means retaining their card, which is generally the top 125 on the previous season's money list. I don't watch racing, but a quick glance at her finishes over the years suggests she was most definitely a middling pro. If you were to win half your starts in racing or golf, you would easily be considered the greatest ever. Tiger Woods is considered one of the greatest golfers ever, and he's won less than 25% of his starts, and even that number is incredibly high. 2nd best for active players is Phil Mickelson at around 7% of his starts.

 

I hope there are many more pics of her like this. She is incredibly fit and pretty in my opinion. I don't want to see her in her work clothes (nascar outfit) I want to see her scantily clad.
