Speaking of racing with the big boys, I like to remind people of the following:  

In the 2010 IndyCar race at Homestead, starting near the back of the pack, she fought her way up among the leaders and during the last 12 or so laps battled with 2004 IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan, running inches apart at speeds approaching 230 mph, finally faking him out and darting down to cross the finish line a nose ahead of him for second place, beating every driver in the field except one Ganassi driver with a faster car.

And in the 2010 IndyCar race at Texas Motor Speedway she battled wheel to wheel with driver after driver, fighting her way past each of them, and briefly into the lead, beating them all but one Penske driver with a faster car.  Roger Penske, the most respected owner in racing, said after the race, “I take my hat off to Danica.  She was terrific tonight.”  A headline the next day declared, “Danica Goes Toe-To-Toe With The Big Boys.”

what a show of true racing skill. maybe the critics will let up a little. the girl can race with the big boys...

If you check, even Mark Martin got some points this year in Cup on some exchange that was worked out. Why... I don't know. Go find out... I saw it several months ago. So, if you think Danica is the only one who is part of some points deal, think again. There is a lot of it going on all the time... even during the year. For BUSINESS reasons.

She IS equal to all drivers as the top 35 rule applies to EVERYBODY, not just Danica. It's just that they are sharing drivers in the 10 car, but certainly no different than JRM sharing drivers in the 7 while she was running Indycar races the last 2 years.

Important remember, she run 4 cup races, but would not make 2 of them if Tony Stewart didn’t buy Tommy Baldwin points. Danica should be equal to all drivers, even one who go home from qualifying. I want Danica treated as equal top 35 rule does not do that. To soon to celebrate.
