The reality of the situation is that the Go Daddy sponsorship money is probably the difference between having a state-of-the-art car to put on the grid and trying to nurse a two-year-old car into the field, like Sarah Fisher does. So, if GoDaddy says to dress as if heading to a casting session for a Cinemax movie, well, we saw the pictures. Meanwhile, Ivory Girl Sarah Fisher keeps starting further and further back in the field.

But I know who my daughters and I will cheer for Memorial Day weekend.

As for the car in Danica’s Glamour Shots, I once got to ride in a real 427 Cobra with the side-oiler transmission. The car was brutally fast. The owner called the accelerator the “near button.” Push it down and anything far away suddenly became near. Time and space seemed to fold around its aluminum fenders. And yes, those fenders were what Dave Letterman calls “easy on the eyes.” I would love to own one someday, but the reality is that even if I could afford it I doubt I could drive it. There is simply no room for my Lincolnesque legs under that beautiful wood steering wheel.

Here’s hoping Sarah Fisher eventually becomes the Sharapova to Danica’s Kournikova…
