Description:
For Danica Patrick, Saturday's DRIVE4COPD 300 was a lesson in hard knocks -- literally. Although she lasted just 68 laps in her NASCAR Nationwide Series debut at Daytona International Speedway, Patrick gained valuable NASCAR experience. "I was just starting to get it," Patrick pleaded with crew chief Tony Eury Jr., as she drove the mangled No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet to pit road for repairs. And indeed she was. Seven laps earlier, Eury reported to his driver that she had posted her fastest lap of the race. That wasn't the only time she showed her prowess. Patrick started the race 15th And narrowly missed the second wreck in Turn 2 on Lap 7 that damaged eight cars. Her evasive move even surprised spotter Chip Ross, who asked, "Did you get any of that?" Patrick replied, "I don't know how I didn't but I didn't. "In that specific incident I can really relate it the very first one at the beginning of the race (Lap 8) when I was up high and some cars came together in front of me," Patrick explained. "There was smoke and I just kind of held my line and slowed down and they went from crashing in front of me to sliding down the track a little bit so I missed it," Patrick said. Although Patrick restarted 17th on Lap 12, she couldn't hold that position for long. Despite two cautions in the first eight laps, Patrick quickly dropped to the back to the 34th position in three laps when she was unable to find a drafting partner. Despite her Q-rating off the track, Sprint Cup and Nationwide competitors traditionally won't run with drivers inexperienced in the draft. By Lap 25, Patrick was 13 seconds behind the leader. She dropped off the lead just before Mike Wallace spun in Turn 3 on Lap 51 but was rewarded with the beneficiary following that caution and restarted 27th. She had gained four positions before the multi-car wreck ended her day. But rolling back in the 34th position among the riff raff was not the most advantageous place for Patrick to be. That proved true when a wreck ignited between Colin Braun and Josh Wise at the start of the tri-oval and collected the No. 7 and nine other cars in the process.

Dec 30, 2010 - there are so many people who race in this series that NEVER get any kind of recognition, people with blank white cars and whatnot, so why should danica get all the coverage?! she hasnt done anything in nascar!! she should be nothing but a speck on the radar screen.

Mar 16, 2011 - what are you talking about, she had no where to go. what do u expect
NewAmericanShame08 Says:
Apr 10, 2011 - lol funny, she drove right into it, as she was slowed down enought to get out of the way
Nizmo370Z Says:
Apr 29, 2011 - The Reason is cause you rarely see any girls driving Stockcars!..Why do you think they kept talking about her!
SaintBEEP Says:
Apr 29, 2011 - That doesn't fucking matter. You don't see many Columbians like Juan-Pablo Montoya Driving in NASCAR but they pay no attention whatsoever to him. I don't care how rare it is, You sacrificed the whole program to watch someone who was in 22nd place out of the draft. it's like watching Derrike Cope drive arround the track, It's totally unamusing and ruins it for people who want t see racing, not a, what I call, Sponser-Scam Driver (Drivers who only race because they have sponsership)
nascarfanatic2425 Says:
Jun 21, 2011 - For a while there were people paying attention to Juan. I certainly was. Don't you remember how they kept going on about how Juan was the first foreign-born Sprint Cup winner since like 1975? Or how people paid attention to Marcos Ambrose? Wasn't it television that called him the Tazmanian Devil?
SaintBEEP Says:
Jun 21, 2011 - No where near as much as they push attention on Danica. It's stupid how much focus they put on her which should be on racers who are actually, i guess, racing for higher positions like the lead?
nascarfanatic2425 Says:
Jun 21, 2011 - Well one thing I probably will admit, some people might just be getting excited. Other's might be trying to encourage people that anything is possible for anyone, reguardless of sex. Other's just like Danica because she's the first woman to ever lead the Indy 500. But you know what? There's only one thing that people in T.V. think about besides Danica being a girl from IndyCar to NASCAR, and that's 5-time; he's great, or he's a fluke.
SaintBEEP Says:
Jun 22, 2011 - wait. So you want to bring 5-time Jimmie Johnson into this now? And no, I do not believe Danica deserves popularity for just leading the Indy 500 because anyone can lead that race if they just stretch it on fuel, heck if she got "popular" by leading that race then everyone would go and lead just one lap thinking they can become popular. Danica is only in NASCAR because of sponsership and she is still in Indycar for the exact same reason.
nascarfanatic2425 Says:
Jun 22, 2011 - Yeah, there's definetly economic relations in there. They might be giving her a little too much attention, but she's now the one with the reputation of, "the world's best woman racecar driver." It might be bull, but that's her reputation at this point in time.

Jan 2, 2012 - pause at 1:36 i just noticed the airborne car the got ran into from behind!
ROBLOXIANgordonrox24 Says:
Jan 15, 2012 - I'm not sure what's more amazing. Her driving right into the wreck, or the announcer saying she had nowhere to go.
wimpman94 Says:
Jan 17, 2012 - She ran right into it!!! why dont they understand that?!?!
flybum72 Says:
Feb 23, 2012 - Danica is at best an average driver. She has won 1 race in 114 with 0 IRL Championships. The 1 race she won was not due to driver skill but rather the other drivers ran out or needed fuel. Tony Stewart raced 26 races and won 3 and an IRL Championship. Danica is an average driver with a pretty face. If she were a male driver she would have been fired years ago.

Feb 23, 2012 - I wish I had tits, I could be a NAS CAWR driver too.
GoJays09 Says:
Feb 24, 2012 - Danica Patrick sucks, the only reason ASSCAR fans care about her is because she has tits,
GrumpyOleMan Says:
Apr 3, 2012 - Actually that is the only reason you hate her. You with your excess of testosterone can only dream of getting to race a stock car while this slip of a girl does it for a living. You're just flat out pathetic. A girl can race stock cars and you can just cry over your TV watching her do it. What a man.....NOT
