"The King" Speaks The Truth About Danica

From ESPN: When it comes to Danica Patrick, the Petty family just can't seem to pass on the subject without causing a caution flag.
This time, however, it was "The King" -- NASCAR Hall of Famer Richard Petty -- who took some swipes at Patrick when asked Sunday whether she would ever win in the Sprint Cup Series.
"If everybody else stayed home," Petty told reporters at the Canadian Motorsports Expo. "If she'd have been a male, nobody would ever know if she'd showed up at a racetrack.
"This is a female deal that's driving her. There's nothing wrong with that, because that's good PR for me. More fans come out, people are more interested in it. She has helped to draw attention to the sport, which helps everybody in the sport."
Patrick finished 27th in the Sprint Cup standings during her rookie season, driving the No. 10 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing. Her highlight came in the season-opening Daytona 500, where she finished eighth after becoming the first woman to win the pole for that event.
That is her only top-10 finish in 46 races at NASCAR's highest level. Before that, she amassed seven top-10 finishes and one pole in 60 races over four seasons in the Nationwide Series.  http://espn.go.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/10431626/nascar-hall-famer-richard-petty-says-danica-patrick-never-win-sprint-cup-race
Danica Patrick, other than the Daytona 500, was a huge disappointment in 2013, despite having above average equipment, a better than average crew chief, pit crew and support from other employees at Stewart-Haas.
Patrick crashed a lot, had many engine failures or finished several laps down in many, many races and generally sucked during the entire NASCAR season.  She was a below average Nationwide driver and a way suckier driver in the Sprint Cup.
So, Richard Petty knows what he is talking about when he talks about Danica Patrick.
