Danica Patrick's Major Daytona 500 Risk

Danica Patrick’s big Daytona 500 dare: Danica Patrick is 29 years old, the rich, famous and the team all around her, engulfed in the beautiful state of the American celebrity, where a steady stream of positive and easy money and are located in front of her.

Almost all the stars of dubious value to come up with a car these days Hollywood would kill her reality: the photogenic female runner.

There are several potential missteps, and boldly, Patrick seems to get almost all of them. She can not help it. Her husband, Paul Hospenthal, describes it as "All In", both completely devoted to everything she does. And then all to the next task without thinking about the latter.

No one else in the list of Hot 100 would be ready to go before the hordes of camera without make-up and hairstyles seen how he does on the track. Any person who serves as a role model for children, especially from a position-you-go girl, go to the GoDaddy ads wildly suggestive.

And here is this: Patrick, curled up in a chair in his luxury bus parked in the infield at Daytona International Speedway, preparing for the shooting on Sunday in the Daytona 500, where there is no driving experience from the production car is much more likely in trouble and frustration than victory.

"I know that I am an eternal cup [Sprint], and I really do not know what to expect," said Patrick. And even if she desperately wants to win the event this year, including Daytona, "the first target is to finish the race and see."

Over the years, Anna Kournikova was one of the top 10 players in the tennis world's women. Although it would be enough to celebrate, if you were perennial all-star football or basketball - not ashamed not to be LeBron - Kournikova elite athletic skills were in line with his fists that brought his empire around it. She never won a tournament. That's what everyone says. This is likely to be in the first sentence of his obituary, and it caused some of the public to turn it on, as if they were sold a lie.

"This is what happens when your popularity outside of your performance level to deserve this," said Patrick. "You [should] deserves, for some reason, and you'll get it for other reasons."

One of his sponsors, Patrick was born, as "America's most famous NASCAR driver," which is certainly true, even if Sunday will be his first race in a series of high-level Sprint Cup.

Here, outside, there is a risk of inconsistency that Patrick is trying to be a career, which leaves many wondering exactly what it is trying to prove. Is it just for the money that NASCAR can (and can not own a car) to provide?

The risk / return back, though.

"The most famous NASCAR driver of America" ​​could finish last in the Great American Race. This can lead to an accident leaves a few favorites and turned into a goat. Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and the rest can beat him (as they do almost every beginner), all on a large audience ever to watch the training.

Patrick to all this. In general it is in.

It was not his idea of ​​the popularity of the car crash. When she was only a go-karting event Roscoe, Illinois, a dream to win the Indy 500. At age 16 she moved to England, leaving his family, friends, school and all that to solve this problem.

Now she's got a new one.

It could even continue the dream, stay in a comfort zone, perhaps even to take pawns, the more that talent continues to drain from the Indy cars here. Juan Pablo Montoya. Sam Hornish. These guys won the Indy 500 and then declined in the NASCAR also find that the steep learning curve.

All in all, however. Why is Patrick sitting some junior circuits? It was in this to try to be the best for the best. It's like when they offer him a new commercial television. "What is the reason not to do this?" She asked.

Thus, in the middle of her career, she re-invent themselves, risking everything about the race to become a stock car driver. Two years part-time and full time, ready or not, pedal to the floor.

She won one race in the freewheel, the 2008 victory in Japan, few people saw the live broadcast, as it turns out, has done little to assuage some critics of the concept that it is not really a legitimate race.

"They say he was a fuel strategy, and it was an ugly win," she said.

But she does not care. Indeed. She says that a few times or more. She has many fans and wants to win for them to give them a great day when the Chicago Bears to win it. Each individual. Even in a sport where the bottom line is always one winner and many losers, some will never be satisfied. Some will never recognize their loyalty.

"I'll never do enough for them," she said. "They may say it's because I'm a girl and I had a good car, and if anyone else had this car that they could do better.

"I want to win for the people who are already my fans and cheer for me all weekend at the [censored], that have nothing good to say about me."

She is not afraid to label Anna Kournikova. If so, it would not be here, demonstrating and throwing caution to the wind for a long attempt to win the Daytona 500.

All earned back in any way. Entering Daytona is not part of some of the desperate search for money and attention. She never spend what he did, not to mention what she wants. In any case, the refusal could affect future earnings.

And the glory? Important? The fame? It was more emissions than Bowl Super Tom Brady. She declined exponentially addresses commercial and magazine covers that she was adopted.

"They ask me to do different things, I'm not happy," she said.

Patrick has the following areas of life that moves through freely, and can not understand why others do not accept. Red carpet red carpet. Pit Road road ditch. It does not get blown up by her hair when she on the trail. What other drivers are not advertising?

"Why am I here?" She asked rhetorically. "Some things I'm here to look beautiful and give your name to it. And other things that I do, I'm here to drive a race car. I'm not sure where the show ... This is my world of racing. [Others] on the does not really communicate with the world. "

It has built his entire life for this purpose. Sacrificed much for this. Decade of behavior, forward, new challenges, twists and turns that led to his most competitive race of his life and deception.

This is the exact opposite of security and packaged and pretend Kardashian rulebook is written for the millions out there running. This is the exact opposite of someone who is trying to con America. She can not win. It can never win a race in the series Sprint Cup. It may not be so sharply, critics singing with delight.

If you can not see victory in the attempt, in the pursuit, in the same way a very successful enterprise in one way or another, the fact that Danica Patrick should do to convince you of its commitment to the sport?

"I'm not worried," she said.

In general it is in.

"I really do not understand."SOURCE
