As Shirley, Don't Call Me Shirley! That Uber' O.L.D.
Danica Fan Jeffie' will have something entertaining to say about her, Eh?

Ah, what's that 'Ol sayin' Dark or White? Wee-Wee...
As I was somewhat surprised to stumble across
the news, when perusing Reuters Sports section late Friday evening, Nov 17th.
As surely Y'all
have heard that Dan-Dan-Daniker', better known here in Nofendersville as Queen
Danica, has announced her impending plans to retire next year after doing her
own, unique version of "The Double," by contesting the 2018 Daytona
500 & Indy 500...
Although it's been a long, long time now
since I've scribbled anythingy 'bout Danica Patrick on these No Fenders pages
Me Thinks? As Snowbyrd MJ" said, I thought you were Soooooo Over Danica...
Whale', it appears thou last time I mentioned Queen
Daniker' was when regaling Y'all 'bout getting to touch three racecars at IMS's
Museum, when I think CARPETS' told me to keep my Mitts off the Danica manikin;
Hya!
As it seems just like yesterday, and Oh, so
L-O-N-G Ago... That I watched Danica Mania's birth, when I believe it was Todd
Harris going Ga-Ga over her improvable dance with history! As even think 'Ol
Scotty Somonex' Goodyear got in on the Furor?
As Y'all recall the year Twenty-oh-five, when
Gen Colin Powell was the honourary Pace Car driver at Mother Speedway, Eh? And
a precocious 23yr old female rookie piloting one of "Boobie Ruble's"
(Bobby Rahal) Dallara/Hondres' had the audacity to lead 19-laps at
Indianapolis! Before Dannyboy Spike' Wheldon swept pass en route to his first
Indy 500 victory, while Danica finished P4 and was named Rookie Of The Year.

Yet as I think 'Ol Jeffie' would say, I'm
definitely not going for any "click Bait" here, by rolling out
another Danica story. Especially since none of my three faithful readers ever
comment on thou BLOB' site; Hya!
Yet it was pretty comical to Mwah, beside my
tunin' into a Roundy-Round race. Having sat down for an extremely late lunch, I
dropped into the Taxicabs finale at Homestead, with some 28-laps remaining in
Stage 2.
As Rick Allen blathered on 'N on 'bout
Danica's accomplishments in racing, whilst even think Pit Reporter Kelli Stavast
was getting in on the act; Oh, we've got a caution Rick, she said...
As it was none other than Danica into the
wall! As her post-accident interview with Stavast was pretty sharp! As I laughed vociferously
whilst thinking Cat Fight and Milka Duno towel slaps... MEOW! Now those were
the Days; Hya!
As my initial impression was that Patrick had
just kicked Kelli
in the Balls when she tried interviewing her, while shades 'O "It's Not My
Fault!" Played upon Thy Memorex...
As her six year
span in NASCAR with nary a Top-5 finish simply makes me think of Mikey Ah-shucks'
Waltrip's stupendous career...
But then again, I've never truly been a Fan
'O Danica's. Although I've long since gotten over her, having wiped my hands
clean after her departure for the Greener side of 'RASSCAR some half dozen
years ago. Since I've just never liked the nauseating nonstop media exposure
she's claimed, having been a Sarah Fisher supporter instead.
And I could meander on 'N on, probably not
creating any great sentence structure here. Other than noting Danica's probably
the only female IndyCar driver to ever get truly top notch equipment, which in
the words of Thy late Awntie' Harriet: Good For You!
Not to mention that I truly hope that Cheep'
steps up and gives her a ride for Daytona and Indianapolis next year. Where I
look forward to watching; Err listening to her Swan Song at Mother Speedway
next May.
As I tend to agree with Senor Rahal and Mayor
Hinch' on her timing being perfect, since everybody will be adapting to the
brand new, never raced before 2018 Super Speedway Spec UAK Dallara's, nee
Universal Aero Kit. Which James Hinchcliffe has said requires re-learning how
to drive an IndyCar, since A-L-L of the current DW12 Aerokit's Downforce is
gone.
Or even better yet, how 'bout Chip Ganassi running
her at the season's first Oval race in Phoenix, where Danica used to reside, as
a tune-up for The Month of May. As I think Team Rahal's missing a Golden
Opportunity...
