Jeff Hammond "Darrell Waltrip, how long you been around NASCAR now?"

Darrell Waltrip "40-some years.”

Jeff Hammond "Okay. He still has the same problem doing what he trying to tell you to do now; he is still trying to learn."

Darrell Waltrip "She was three when I won the Daytona 500.

Danica Patrick "Was that 1985 then?"

Darrell Waltrip "Somewhere back in there."

Steve Byrnes Danica, you seem so comfortable in your own skin and I say this with so much respect. You’re such a pretty woman, would you rather, do you feel pressure or would you rather just be thought of as a racer? Not Danica as a beautiful woman but just as a racer?

Danica Patrick "Well, thank you; that’s very nice of you."

Juan Pablo Montoya "Wow! Are you hitting on her?"

Steve Byrnes What did you say?"

Juan Pablo Montoya “Are you hitting on her?"

Darrell Waltrip "I was so hoping it wouldn’t go this way! So praying it would not go this way!"

Danica Patrick"All right."

Steve Byrnes I said with all due respect."

Danica Patrick"I said with all due respect, that is from Talladega Nights. I’ll answer your question because I know what you’re trying to say."

Darrell Waltrip "What did you really want to ask her?"

Steve Byrnes Leave me alone Larry Mac."

Danica Patrick "In this day and age, there’s a lot of great drivers and I think as a package you have to be more than one thing, you can’t just drive the car so I’m lucky to have more things to use, to drive these race cars. So I have fun with it. And anybody that knows me knows that I didn’t go back to my bus afterwards and go comb my hair at all. I didn’t put any powder on my face. I was in the hauler the whole time going through set-up stuff and learn what truck arms do. So when I got away from the track I like being a girl because it’s part of my personality. I love getting my hair and makeup done and wearing great clothes."

[cheering]

Steve Byrnes You are a lot like Jeff Hammond then."

Darrell Waltrip "There’s something wrong here. She didn’t go back and comb her hair and put on makeup but all of us did! There’s something wrong here!"

Danica Patrick There is a makeup table back there."

Darrell Waltrip "Hammond did not get to ask his question. Does he have what it takes to be a GoDaddy.com girl?"

Danica Patrick "Well, if you want to really follow the commercial, you have to lose some clothes."

Steve Byrnes He’ll do it."
