Danica Patrick to NASCAR?

I pay some attention to NASCAR. I have Fantasy NASCAR lineups on my Yahoo! Sports, and I always read the writeups in Sports Illustrated and I usually listen to the radio broadcasts on the country radio station if I'm in my car on a Sunday.

If Patrick raced NASCAR, I'd pay more attention. I'd sit and watch a race. Name another way to kill a 12 pack.

MSNBC.com sportswriter Mike Celizic wrote an analogy that made me laugh out loud, however. He comparing Danica Patrick's welcome to the "beer-and-tobacco" NASCAR crowd by saying she would be as warmly welcomed "as a homosexual, secular-humanist, pro-choice, Libertarian evolutionist would be at Pat Robertson's birthday party."
