I dont care if Patrick succeeds or not.

Bottom line, though, is that she brings in more viewers (and buzz), first to Indy car racing and now at stock car racing. That translates to more revenue from advertisers.

Moreso than Kournikova could ever hope to.

Also, Patrick's success (or lack of it) is affected by a myriad more factors than just her driving skill (remember her going up pit lane and the driver pulled right out into her?)

Whearas, Kournikova's 'success' had more to do with her lack of serve and lack of desire to improve that and other areas.

You don't really think more people are going to turn on the TV to watch a female race car driver in a car with a helmet on, over a female tennis player in a short skirt, do you?

Not to mention mentioning Danica and Anna in the same breath in terms of looks is laughable.

Danica is a good looking woman. Anna was/is a supermodel looking woman.
