Bobby Rahal Sponsors Quotations

The Danica Patrick that I know would come out here to race even if the TV cameras and fans weren't here. ... She is a racer at heart. The fact that she can balance the demands of the media, fans and sponsors and still compete at a high level is just another mark of how dedicated she is to her craft.

I don't think they want to admit that her draw is helping them, but it's the truth. Everyone from sponsors to teams to the IRL is benefiting from her. She's having the Tiger effect on TV ratings.
