ESPN Classic aired it live. It was scheduled to be televised live on ESPN2 Friday night but was delayed by rain until Saturday night, forcing the move to Classic.wco81 wrote:ESPN didn't air it live but decided to air the replay of it when she won?
The rebroadcast this morning on ESPN2 was planned before her victory.
That's what all drivers do in Victory Lane, put on sponsor caps. She wears her hair up in her helmet, which isn't the way she normally wears it. She lets her hair down every time she removes her helmet, whether it's a race or practice or test. Nothing new there.wco81 wrote:She seemed in a hurry to let her hair down and put on the sponsor's cap.
One would hope.wco81 wrote:Is this win going to bring more fans?
Take care,

Where there any right turns involved in the race? If not, who cares. I give more credit to her crew and engineers than the driver that needs to floor it and coast around an oval.

I'm glad she won. I really think Danica is more interested in winning than she is in being the first woman to win. She is a race driver who just happens to be a woman.
The IRL got my attention last year when Dario made his exciting/ nerve racking run for the championship. Man, last years season finale was awesome.
Graham Rahal and Danica have both made their marks this season, it's time for Marco to step up his game.

What does my avatar have to do with disrespecting women? I didn't realize having a chuckle at some s*** humor meant I was supposed to be supportive of sexist jokes that openly mock a significant achievement for women. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around that one fathead.fatheadX wrote:This is rich, considering your avatar...ScoopBrady wrote: at some of the responses in this thread.

It has precisely nothing to do with disrespecting women. I have no idea what Scoop is thinking by bringing it up.ScoopBrady wrote:What does my avatar have to do with disrespecting women?fatheadX wrote:This is rich, considering your avatar...ScoopBrady wrote: at some of the responses in this thread.
