Default Here's one hell of a lucky C7 passenger riding with Danica Patrick


The chance to ride shotgun with Danica Patrick in any car would put me on cloud nine for damn-near a year, but in a Corvette around an obstacle course? That's an experience to die for.

Personally, I would feel safer riding with Daffy Duck over Danica Patrick.

They probably ran mid pack near the rear............

I'd rather ride with a front runner.

It's fine. Ricky Stenhouse wasn't out there for her to crash into.

I agree with the "nervous". How can you tell if she was tight or not.........

Not smiling, eyes focus at dead center (not biased in either direction), and looks slumped in the chair. Looks like some of my passengers when I give them a ride and speed.

i think it's the car making her so, you can see the various corrections she's having to use to keep her line. that's not a smooth drive and you have a girl good enough to run formula 1 behind the wheel. it's not her, it's the car

would bet if you asked her off the record what her thought were...she would say

that car is a mess

I suspect that would be her comment for any standard production car relative to what she normally drives on the track.
