O.K., I'll admit it. I tried to watch the IRL race the other night. I finally couldn't take it anymore. Besides the broadcast team being boring (I can deal with that), every commercial break featured at least one Danica commercial, sometimes more. If that wasn't bad enough, her commercials are the dumbest I've ever seen- from the whiney "I deserve respect", to the idiotic pit crew in drag , to the stupid Go Daddy traffic stop with the female cop tearing off her shirt. Hey IRL, guess what. I won't watch another IRL race until you realize Ms. Patrick isn't what racefans tune in for. rant off.

irl isn't to blame, its the advertisers that think she's the bees knees, which is why she's in every commercial, and probably part of the reason that IRL might actually survive, since ad revenue during the races = air time for the races.

It could be worse, during Nascar races you get the same thing but with Junior, at least she can speak.

At least you can mute it and just watch her...more difficult with the Dale Jr. adverts.

Its ok, seems pretty soon all you will be able to watch is the 500, if that.
