Danica Patrick Wins Pole Position For Daytona 500
I normally don't follow NASCAR too much, I prefer open wheel/Indy Car racing.
I do watch the Daytona 500 and other big races though. This just happened today and it was history so thought I would post it. Danica Patrick won the pole position for this years Daytona 500, first time in history for a woman. I guess you gain some extra horsepower when you only weigh 100 lbs. Not sure if it's going to matter much, she always seems to find a way to screw it up. "Danica Patrick became the first woman to win the pole position for the Daytona 500, considered the Super Bowl of NASCAR, posting a lap of 196.434 mph Sunday." http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-2013/1926073/ http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/17/sport/...ing/?hpt=hp_t1 |

Yes, because winning the pole means jack and shit.

Well I agree and disagree. For something that's nothing, they sure do work their asses off to win it. But you're right, especially in a restrictor-plate race, past the publicity, it means little.
But it's nice to think that a hot-chick will be leading the way on the first lap...

Wish she was still open wheel. Greatly prefer Indy and F1 to NASCAR and their strategically equalized tin cans.
Appreciate the safety, but miss the raw power, speed and performance. F1 cars are so BAUCE, like earthbound rockets. Fascinating to watch. NASCAR is OK, but it's like watching Olympic sprints with tethers for Usian Bolt and making everyone run in Easy Spirit Pumps to create a closer race.
