While obviously not the Fangio of IRL, I think her results, and more so just observing her on-track ability, justify her place in the series without question.

And if this has to descend into Sarah vs Danica – well just compare how the two have gone against Buddy Rice. Danica often outperformed Buddy, while Sarah just looks a class below. (and I’m by no means suggesting Sarah shouldn’t be in the series, I like her and think she’s of great value, and without her Danica may never even have got _into_ the series).

Despite endless internet threads, I still can't quite grasp why there is all this distaste for Danica. It doesn't seem to amount to anything other than people not liking her because she's popular and brings attention to the sport...

Does that strike anyone else as ridiculous?
