I think her hype was all about her hotness and the fact that she might be the first female to actually be competitive. I don't think it was ever about her coming in and winning a bunch of races.
Her Indy Car contract is up at the end of this season so it will be interesting to see what direction she chooses. She's stated many times that it's always been her dream to win the Indy 500 so I doubt she's ready to give up on that just yet. She can race mid pack in NASCAR all year long and still bank millions for it in the form of endorsements and souvenir sales.
The bottom line is she's a racer and racers want to win so it only stands to reason she will go wherever the best opportunity is to do that. This weekend she is racing at Bristol. It's completely different than anything she has experienced so far and so far she is taking on the challenge. I've been to the night race at Bristol working as a team member for both a Goodys Dash team and what was then a Winston Cup team. Bristol is mind blowing in almost every way for both spectators and drivers and she is going to have her hands full come race time
