The title alone is open to all sorts of comments...
Id give her pole position.
According to the fellas on Fox she’s the first female to sit on the pole.
Good for Her
I love me some Danica. But I’d prefer Ana Ivanovic... I think they may have been separated at birth.
Are they limiting the cars to under 200 mph now?
I remember pole position runs around the 204-206 marks in the past.
C’mon folks ,you can do better.
Poll at ESPN says she won’t finish in the Top 20...LOL!
I find the lack of pictures disturbing.
Guess she isn’t lesbian, because you would think the NOW gang would be so happy for her, to accomplish such a great thing.
All three Stewart-Haas Racing cars are pretty fast.
She did an interview last year about three quarters of the way through the season, and was asked to comment about meeting her gols for her first full time year. She commented “Well, I haven’t had a pole yet, that’s something we need to work on.” I laughed about that for two days. I really do wish her well, tho, she’s very talented and much better looking than Kyle Busch.
There is 500 miles between starting at the pole and being first to finish.
My bet is she will finish in the pack if at all..
Patrick has historically ran fast qualifying laps; it’s the side-by-side racing that (I believe) scares her. I can’t imagine what it’ll feel like for her out front, even for a lap or two. I’d look for her to relinquish that top position quickly, and drop back to 20 or so quickly.
I know one of her PIT guys ... “she is a true competitor, one of the guys and never plays the “I’m a Girl” card”... they think she is beyond awesome.
Good enough for me
Now if we could find an Halfrican President that would follow similar rules
TT
plus she is a low informational voter!
It’s still a MAN’S SPORT, as far as I’m concerned.
Anyone watching Danica Patrick in 2012 should realize that she is serious about racing and will be capable of winning.
She's gained experience & learned from running in the pack, getting crashed and finally learning to pay it back.
Like 'em or not, the Go Daddy ads gave her name recognition outside of auto racing as well as guaranteed sponsorship, and they're certainly less demeaning than pimping for reverse mortgages.
If nothing so far makes the case - Tony Stewart ain't no kinda PC guy and he's putting his name and money behind her ability; he even predicted that she'd go faster than him at Daytona, and she did.
If you won't bet on Danica, bet on Smoke.
