Danica Patrick sure looks good in a racing uniform.
As she exited her car after her first Indianapolis 500 pole day qualifying attempt on Saturday, Danica Patrick was visibly upset.
So upset, that she threw her primary sponsor – GoDaddy.com – right under the bus.
“This is the worst domain registrar I’ve ever had,” she said, according to USA Today’s Nate Ryan on twitter. “There’s no way to move domains out for 60 days after an address change; you always feel like you have to buy hosting services when all you need is a damn domain name. It’s just scary, really scary … It’s awful, really awful. I think I’m still shaking.”
When Danica’s comments were played over the track’s public announcer, she was booed by a group of domainers loyal to GoDaddy.
“That stupid, ugly $@!!@%$ cannot insult GoDaddy like this!”, yelled Donny Roy Johnson, a NASCAR fan who is also a domainer. “Can’t blame the horse for the rider’s crooked legs now, can you?”
Danica’s level of performance has lately been matching that of her looks: lukewarm and lacking a spark. Maybe it’s time for the legendary Bob Parsons to consider a new mascot for his domain registrar?
