Default Danica arca daytona

I hope the best for her, she is very marketable (looks) but iam not feeling her going around in circles. She is a pretty good road coarse driver. Know her from karting days, she is .

I am an admitted skeptic and critic, but that was a pretty impressive first drive.

I actually hope she does well and earns some of the attention that she already gets. I like anything that is good for the sport as a whole and as difficult as it is to admit sometimes, she could be really good for it in terms of money, coverage, and sponsorship.

Watching an ARCA race would be much more enjoyable if they would allow the use of brake pedals.

C'mon man... they watched Days of Thunder. Keep it to the floor and go through the smoke. Isn't that what you are supposed to do???

I don't think she's schumacher, but I don't think folks give her enough credit. I don't think most folks realize how hard it is physically to drive an indycar. Go run a few laps at texas or indy and pull 3.5 G's, most guys not used to it would be back in the pits in 4 laps, their head about to fall off.

regardless of wins, etc, you don't get to where she is without a reasonable amount of talent and ability.

I have always pulled for her in IRL, and like many I thought she would really struggle if she moved to stock cars. I think she did a great job yesterday and she pretty much impressed everyone. There is a ton for her to learn and she has a very good start.

You go girl!

Demolition Derby!!!!

Jill George did a good job, until they roughed her up in the last laps.

But that control of Patrick's was either phenomenal luck or a cool head.

I pick the later.

I liked the in car shot of when she let go of the steering wheel to let the car correct itself.

Not sure I quite understand why she did that the announcer said that it was what F1 driver do.
