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 |

I agree, but she did a lot better open wheel than stock car. She is a wreck waiting to happen in NASCAR. She won a race or two in formula. She will never win a NASCAR sprint cup event.

Pretty sexist, and racist. I'm not sure what her menstruation cycle has to do with her driving functionality.

I don't watch racing a lot. Did when I was younger and was at my Dad's on weekends. Then again back then my favorite racer wasn't dead. I remember last year watching Danica in a road race(Walkins Glenn?) and she was in 5th or so on the final lap and pretty much got ****ed over on what seemed like an intentional hit. I'm sure she has caused her own crap, but that annoyed me since I had invested time watching the final few laps to see how she finished. Daytona is the one race I always make sure to see, along with the Indy 500.
Did go and see a race all the way in Tennessee years back and the noise from those cars, especially on a short track, was out of control. Old couple next to me didn't even had plugs in. Guess they were already deaf. |

She has never raced in Formula 1. F1 drivers are the best in the entire world (well the non-pay drivers). She's never been top in anything she has raced.

Road race maybe? As I mentioned in my above post, she was real high the one race I watched last year.

No idea. I only heard of her when she went to Indy. She always seemed to have race pace for a good portion of the day, but she would make mistakes and give up positions at the end (that's from the small amount that I watched).

Yeah late in the race when the menstruation kicks in, she gets all emo and starts flipping people off and running into things...
