NASCAR: Should Danica Patrick be a Hall of Famer?
By Asher Fair
The debate
One source claimed that based on that quote, Busch referred to Danica Patrick as deserving a spot in the NASCAR Hall of Fame, although we could not find a specific quote to support that claim.
Whether he did or he didn’t doesn’t affect the fact that this is, indeed, a debate that will go on if she does end up walking away from NASCAR altogether following the conclusion of the 2017 season, or whenever she eventually does officially ended her NASCAR career.
That debate has already begun, which you can read here in a rather light-hearted article by an Orlando Sentinel writer talking about why she should be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Various other sources have chimed in to the debate as well, more so over the years as opposed to just recently.
But the only thing that the article above or any article making the claim that Patrick is worthy of a spot in the NASCAR Hall of Fame can use to (somehow) back up that claim is the fact that she is a woman, as you can read in the article referenced above. But does that really qualify her for a spot in something as prestigious as the Hall of Fame?
