Danica Patrick GoDaddy.com Ad

[hellfirejim]

Ok so I went and looked at the ad on the GoDaddy site. Pretty Tame I thought. Yes she is attractive but it occured to me that just the act of unzipping her jacket shouldn't have been a problem. To be over exposed you have to have something to show and she is woefully inadaquate in that department. All of our ladies look like woman not built like 12 year oild boys.....

Danica might not make alot of you happy but the amount of $$$$$ she is making would allow her to sponsor a few fuel cars for a few years...She is making more dollars thru her ad agency then all the fuel drivers on the NHRA tour combined....

Re: The endorsement deal Melanie wouldn't make....

I don't know why Fox rejected it to be honest.

Maybe they didn't. Only GoDaddy said they did, and it works to their advantage to say so. After all, internet company needs hook to get you to go to their site, what better way?

I doubt that they rejected it, but it A/ create more controversy of people think they did and B) which is more important, look at how many of us went to the sie to see it. I doubt any of us would have gone to the site if the ad had aired regularly on the tv. They got their desired goal, more internet traffic now if that translate into more business is to be seen. But you have to get people in the door before they'll buy.

As for the add, it could have been funny, the idea behind it was funny but I think they missed

PS: I liked Danica but she's played the girly/girl thing too much. She's a snappy looking gal but she should be concentrating on her racing skills a little more than her photo shoots.[/QUOTE

With six months off between races she has plenty of time for photo shoots. The IRL needs to fix that. With Hornish and Franchitti gone to NASCAR, her chances of actually winning a race have improved. But, every time she had a shot last year, she did something, usually on a pit stop, to ruin it. You can never tell how luck might play a role. Kyle Petty was running third on the last lap when the leaders crashed and handed him his first win.

How many of you people bashing Danica actually have been to an IRL race to watch her drive? I have. I 've seen her passing on the outside going 3 wide in the turns at homestead, more than once. She needs to mature. She is an excellent driver who makes mistakes that show that she's only been driving at this level for a couple of years. She gets more attention because she's a girl and that's a big deal in the roundyround world. She may be in an AGR car , but she still plays 3rd fiddle to Kanaan and the team owners son.
Rahals cars didn't do squat last year compared to what they did with Danica the year before.

Danica will win. It's just a matter of time.

You know, I would throw rocks at Danica Patrick to get at Ashley Force. Seen em' both up close, and there is NO comparison.

If she were not of the female persuasion, I am afraid she would be running street stocks at the local dirt track.

Danica @ least made it into big time motorsports w/out the aid of her daddy...
She made the Indy 500 very exciting a couple of years ago and does very well for herself in regards to millions of dollars for ads..

I think everyone in racing has a father that has helped out along the way in some way, shape or form.

This is from Danica's Wikipedia

Patricks's parents, T.J. and Bev Patrick, met on a blind date at a snowmobile event in the 1970s when Bev was a mechanic for a friend's snowmobile.[7][8] T.J. raced snowmobiles, motocross, and midget cars. They have owned a Java Hut and a plate glass company.

Currently, T.J. helps his daughter by driving her motor coach, and managing her Web site and merchandise trailer. Bev handles the ins and outs of her business needs.

Patrick is married to Paul Edward Hospenthal, who had previously been her physical therapist. She was raised in a non-religious home but converted to Roman Catholicism - already Hospenthal's faith - shortly after seeing the movie The Passion of the Christ.[citation needed]

Exactly. Roundy-round racing is an entirely different deal. She has plenty of talent. How many male drivers haven't or didn't win squat. Not defending her because she isn't exactly my cup of tea as far as sportsmanship goes but she shouldn't be bashed for her skills.

How else are they going to get her some pub?? She has done nothing on the track as of yet. That's the only way to keep her mug in front of everyone.

Late.............Mitch

Her mug and her other atributes ! LOL
