NASCAR racer says she lacks the time and patience for the show

Race ace Danica Patrick won't be driving her body onto the dance floor for "Dancing With The Stars" because she doesn't have the time or the patience for the hit show. The NASCAR speed demon has turned down producers several times, and she insists fans needn't get their hopes up she'll ever agree to trade her racing gear for sequins.

 

Bing: More about Danica Patrick | 'Dancing With the Stars'

 

She tells "Access Hollywood Live," "I don't have a month or two ... and I'm a little too intense; I'm too competitive. I get mad and people wanna see you smile, and I wouldn't smile." But Patrick insists she'd be a favorite: "I was a cheerleader and I have some rhythm ... I can dance."

She claims that because she was a cheerleader that makes her qualified and a favorite?? Talk about an inflated ego! Thank God she said no...wouldn't want her humiliated by 1st round elimination LOL..she would be throwing hissy fits for the next month!

Oh my, here I thought that this lightweight twinkie had no brains in that silly head of hers.  Now she goes out and does something that makes sense.  Not going on DWTS is a good career move for Danica.  Why prove to a huge national audience that you are incompetent in dancing as well as car racing?  Danica, take all the money you can now, your run in the spotlight is coming to an end as your lack of talent in car racing is becoming more and more apparent.  Sell your soft porn image, I readily admit that you are hot so milk that for all it's worth. In the end perhaps a layout for Playboy or Hustler magazine.

She can't even drive a race car so I doubt she could dance!  Go back to open wheel and get out of NASCAR!

Maybe Danica has two left feet.  Probably from making too many left turns in her career.  Love you Danica

Good for her.  The "celebrities" on that show are has-beens with nothing else to do.

Good.  I'm glad she realizes that she wouldn't be a good contestant because she can't smile and be all nicey nicey.  That's what DWTS fans want.  As for being too competitive, they are all like that.  You would not be any different than them except for throwing your hissy fits.  And as far as being a favorite, looks like that would be a no.  Now, if she did come on, she'd already be a non-favorite because of her attitude.  I think people like her talk a good game, but probably realize she wouldn't win and that's why she wouldn't even try.

She can't drive, or act, but she does walk like Yosemite Sam. Team her up with a rabbit and she has a chance.

Maybe she should try DWTS again. She'd have a better chance at actually winning something.

I can see all the morons on here that don't know squat about Danica Patrick or racing.  I'm glad she decided not to demean herself with this crap.  I wish more people would.
