Danica does ovals

UPDATE The same reader writes, Dear AutoRacing1.com, On lap 70 of Saturday's Nationwide race at Dover, Danica Patrick blew her right-front tire and slammed the wall. She had already been three laps down – three laps by lap 70 already, suffering through another poor performance in her seventh Nationwide start. Tim Purdy

09/25/10 A reader writes, Dear AutoRacing1.com, I have to comment on Danica Patrick's recent comments whereby she expressed disappointment with the dropping of ISC tracks by the IndyCar series. Well of course she is disappointed. She is a backmarker on road courses and ovals where you need talent to really drive the car. The cookie cutter 1.5-mile ISC ovals are 100% throttle affairs so Danica runs well on them. The media needs to stop treating Danica with kid gloves. Is she a great driver or just a show piece for IndyCar and NASCAR? Tim Purdy
