Older image of Patrick, before the media frenzy...

Danica-mania as it is being called in the media, the phenomenon that drives most fans crazy. Danica making the decision to drive in two series, full time in Indy and part time in the NASCAR Nationwide and ARCA series’ has grouped her into several categories. Her media attention has become tiresome to most, “Who cares if she’s running 30th!?” I’ve heard many times during a Nationwide Series race..

I came across this article and it really made me want the options of my readers. Like most I have tons of respect for Danica and by any standards it’s not her fault what the media has done with her image. Read the article below from DelawareOnline.com by Mike Finney. Leave us a comment and tell us what you think. We have to agree with him on some points, does Danica need to get used to the ways of NASCAR, bumping and banging is the way of Stock Cars.. Or should she stick with Indy? Let us know below!

Jennifer Jo Cobb didn’t fly in a private plane or on a first-class flight to get Darlington this weekend.

Instead, the Camping World Truck Series rookie drove from her home in Missouri with a stop in Nashville, Tenn., to save on travel costs. Those are the kinds of sacrifices Cobb is making in the first year of owning her own team.

Cobb, along with some help from investors, bought the trucks from the No. 10 Circle Bar Racing team and is running the full truck schedule for the first time in her career. Prior to this season, the 36-year-old had made only four starts in the series.

“I want to be an inspiration to people of what’s possible with so little. I think that can transfer to not just racing but other things in life,” said Cobb, the only female competing full time in any of NASCAR’s top three series. Read More

Ready to get back to 1.5-Mile Oval at Nashville Superspeedway

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (July 28, 2010) – Michelle Theriault didn’t choose an easy time to make her 2010 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) debut. With her first race on the half-mile oval of O’Reilly Raceway Park and then traveling to another new, completely different track, the “Tricky Triangle” of Pocono Raceway, the rookie driver has had her work cut out for her so far. Theriault is ready to get to a familiar racetrack, and Nashville Superspeedway 1.5-mile oval is the perfect place.

“I like Nashville a lot,” said Theriault. “Since I started racing in the ARCA Series, the mile-and-half tracks were more my forte. They are what I became really comfortable and confident with. I have a lot of experience at the mile-and-a-half tracks. I feel really good going into Nashville versus the last two weeks where I haven’t had as much experience. It’s a good momentum booster for me going in knowing that I know the track and I’m comfortable. It’s just going to be a matter of getting the truck comfortable rather than also having to learn a new track.” Read More

PENNGROVE, CA (7-24-10) – In any sport, hard work, determination and perseverance routinely pays off. Penngrove sprint car racer Alissa Geving is witnessing the truth of that philosophy as she nears the completion of the 2010 Golden State Challenge Sprint Car Series. After a night of great success last weekend, Geving has officially advanced in the top five point standings of the competitive King of California Sprint Car Series.

“When I made the decision to run this series for the year my main goal was to get into the top five in the point standings,” said Geving. “I’ve made it to that goal. Now we just have to give it our all in the next two races and hold on to it. I’d really like to thank my team and crew for all their hard work lately. Our recent race was one of our strongest runs and I have them to thank for it, the car was just great at Marysville.”

For the first time in her racing career, Geving competed at the quarter-mile Marysville Raceway Park in Marysville, Calforinia last Saturday night. The event marked Geving’s first ever start at the north state facility and it was the first time in nearly a decade that the Golden State Challenge Series competed at the track. After many improvements to the facility in recent years, a total of 24 cars showed up to an exciting night of 410 sprint car racing. Read More

Prepared for Harder Elements, Needs to Focus on What’s Easy

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (August 10, 2010) – For the first time since 2004, The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will compete at Darlington Raceway in the Too Tough to Tame 200. Jennifer Jo Cobb has heard all of the intimidating phrases associated with the racetrack. “The Lady in Black,” “Too Tough to Tame” and “Darlington Stripes” have all served warning to the Kansas City, Kan., native. Despite their daunting presence, Cobb isn’t letting them frighten her. Cobb is using them as motivation that she hopes will help her meet the challenge of navigating the 1.366-mile historical track.

Darlington appears to be a venue that will play into Cobb’s No. 10 Driven team’s strengths. Tracks one to two miles in length, like Darlington Raceway, are the team’s sweet spot. In NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition, Cobb’s best finish came at an intermediate track, scoring 14th-place at Texas Motor Speedway this season. Read More
