Impressive.
Not really. Anyone can win a plate race. You don't even need top equipment. Danica had top equipment and squandered it. It's not all her fault as to NASCAR as she didn't have enough experience with stock cars and didn't transfer over until later in her career. She certainly didn't follow the trajectory of Tony Stewart. He had talent, Danica didn't. Danica was a gimmick who could bring sponsorship money to a ride.
