Why would we be talking about some schmoe who's won only ONE pro auto race in his life? Why would ABC be following this guy for lap after lap (when I turned my set on). Let's compare her to her equally annoying teammate, Marco. Each has won but a single IRL race... under rather "interesting" circumstances - though Marco has several wins in other formulas. But still, we don't see Marco being followed lap after lap after lap (unless he's right up front)... not that I want to see him anymore than I do. When I turned on the set, Danica was back in 10th or 11th. All people are saying is, why is so much time devoted to a driver who continues to run mid to back of the pack?
