Danica Poised To Win Her First...

She seems to be smoother at high speed than others which gains her a little. Too bad she lacks aggression, it's the same problem Mark Martin had.
 
i dont really understand this thread....she starts 27th ,so how does that make her a favorite to win?....

Interesting observation. Kyle Petty might agree but he also seems to have an "ax to grind" when it comes to Patrick anyway. He once said "She isn't a racer and she will never be a racer". Somebody thought that was a bit harsh, and he explained by saying "she doesn't race, she seems content to drive around in the back, gaining positions as people in front fall out". Something to that effect. As much as I'm puzzled by Petty's barely canceled contempt for her, his explanation of the comment, if not the comment itself, seemed insightful... She does do better on plate tracks, it seems. It would be fun to see her win one... :)

Kyle may be a bit of a woman hater, perhaps due to growing up with three sisters who picked on him relentlessly. But the King has kicked her around a bit too!

I think the best female stock car driver out there is Johanna Long, but she can't get a ride because she has no sponsor to bring with her.

Yeah I'm a Johanna Long fan too - and like you, I'd like her to at least get the opportunity to drive for a mediocre team....
 
i agree about long to..ive allways said if i had wealth id build her a car and team and move her to cup..
 
Hey All,

Joanna should get a shot as should the Cope sisters. I'm not sure they even drive now but they could have developed.

Go Danica and I think it would be cool if Haas put her in a F1 car just so she would be the first across 3 series.
