Wait. That was a race? I thought they were playing follow the leader. NASCAR sure knows how to screw up a great sport.

Danica Patrick, who ran in the top-10 all day, finished eighth after losing ground on the last lap.

Is she sounding like Big Ears blaming everyone but herself for not winning? ( Just an observation by someone who watches little of this ) Maybe I have it all wrong.

I didn't think Danica was ready for Sprint, based on finishing 17th in Nationwide last year.

She proved me wrong.

I missed Danica’s post race interview. I thought she drove a good race, obviously she had a great car and just was in the wrong lane on the last lap.

Boring race. I didn’t think Danica said anything wrong. She needed help to win and never got it. She drove a good race.

The best moment of the race is when Kyle blew his engine. I hope it’s a sign of a bad season to come for him.

She didn't cause the wreak? She wasn't even in the wreak?

Amazing!

Amazing! They mispelled almost the entire headline. Should read “Danica Patrick finished 8th in 2013 Daytona 500”

Jimmy Johnson??? Didn’t he race Pontiac’s back in the 60’s when I was a kid?

Did anyone else catch the mistake by the “start your engines” guy? He said, “Drivers and Danica, start your engines”. What, Danica isn’t a driver? If he had said Gentlemen instead of Drivers, it would have been correct.

I missed most of the race (took my eldest to select baseball tryouts), but caught the end. That was a heck of a move by Earnhardt Jr. and co. to push to the front right at the end. Patrick, of whom I’m led to believe ran a very disciplined and solid race, simply got caught in the wrong line when the jump occurred — felt more old-school in that respect, seeing one line or the other just hung out to dry with no chance of getting back in.
