I can't get over the fact that Patrick was gobbling Bobby Rahal! Was it an episode of some old cunt, young slut site?
As best I can recall (my company was pretty much gone from the sponsorship picture by the time this soap opera was playing out), Bobby and Debi Rahal were going through a divorce about this time. Because I don't have anything personally against her and she was always pleasant to me in the times I met her, let's just say that Debi had a
drinking problem (had for years - like with Al Unser, Jr., it was no secret among those in the paddock) and she got tagged with a DUI or DWI (maybe with kids in the car - can't remember). But about the time that the divorce was being finalized, that's when Danica came on the scene. There was another woman who came on the scene about that time too: Johanna Maher. Johanna was a VP at Argent Mortgage...
which became a primary sponsor of Team Rahal. So for those who have claimed that Danica had anything to do with Argent being with Team Rahal, that wasn't true. It was more because Bobby was dating one of their executives. In fact, I think Bobby wound up marrying Johanna... either before or after Argent went tits up with their sub-prime mortgage business and Citigroup bought the scraps. But the thing about Danica polishing Uncle Bobby's knob, to get/keep her ride, is just a rumor I heard from several members of the Team Rahal crew, who I stayed in touch with after we parted ways with them. Many of them didn't like her because she knew
so little about the technical side of the race car (which a driver that drove in European development series and Toyota Atlantic should know) and didn't act like she wanted to learn. She struck them as an "arrive & drive" type of driver. And because she seemed to play on her feminine traits while in Bobby's company, he (secretly) earned the name "Uncle Bobby" among some of the crew and they assumed that she wasn't alone with him in his motorhome just studying race notes late into the evening. But like I said, those are just rumors. But considering her desire to make it anyway she can, I'd say she is the kind of girl who would suck a dick to get ahead.
Danica is the polar opposite of say, Angelle Sampey. There were more than a couple of rich guys who would have helped Angelle keep her NHRA team afloat, but they wanted something in return. She was the real deal: a three time NHRA champion and has more professional motorsports victories than any woman on the planet. She's just not the type to go that route or play on her looks (and she is a DAMN fine looking woman!) to gain attention. It would be hard to measure how much respect I have for Angelle - and such a nice, genuine person too. Unfortunately, she said she had to refuse my (crackpot) marriage proposal because my last name didn't start with an "S" - yeah, I'm sure that was it... right?
For those who think that Danica is
hot facepalm
, fellows, this is what a REAL woman looks like. No airbrushing, photoshop or bra stuffing required.
And Angelle took this picture down a couple of days after she put it up on her message board because she just intended for people to know how hard she had trained to get in shape for the coming season - not to be seen as a Danica-like bikini model. Ya know, with a trip to a lawyer's office, I could have changed my last name to something starting with an "S"
(Seeling, Savoie, Sampey - get it?). Jokes aside, that really is the sort of woman that I could have married and been happy (while making her miserable).
Sports Illustrated posted Danica's selfie a few weeks ago in its Thursday throwback pictures. It was obviously never posted or published until they put it up. Apparently, the photo was taken in 2008. SI has since removed the picture. Why it took them six years to figure out that her nipple was showing is beyond me...
Interesting update. Thanks. But yeah, as much effort as they put into giving her a more
feminine figure in her pics, I'm sure her (tiny) nipple didn't escape anyone's attention. Everything about The Danica is planned and crafted. So no, I'm not buying it either.
