said her career the most successful female NASCAR driver "of all time."

Technically accurate. Can you name a female NASCAR driver that had a better career?

Well, there’s Janet Guthrie, but I suppose her career wasn’t much better.

Sara Christian had a Top 5 finish in 1949, and finished 13th in the points standings (top ever for any female).

Janet Guthrie finished the 1976 World 600 in 15th, ahead of Dale Earnhardt, then became the first woman to lead a Winston Cup Series race under caution, at Ontario Speedway in 1977.

In 1986, Patty Moise became the first woman to lead in a Busch Series race, and made a record 133 Xfinity Series starts between 1986 and 1998

In 1988, Shawna Robinson became the first woman to win a NASCAR Touring Series event. In 1989 she became the first woman to earn the pole position for a NASCAR touring series race. She then won the pole for the March 12, 1994 Xfinity Series Busch Light 300 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

In the 90s, Tammy Jo Kirk scored 37 top-10 finishes and two poles in what was then known as the All Pro Series, before making the first starts for a woman in the Camping World Truck Series.

Danica has the most Top 10s (seven), most starts (190), won a pole, and led 64 laps in her career.
