The most famous words in auto racing, "Drivers, start your engines!", ended up as the funniest moment of the 2013 Daytona 500. Not sure if you guys caught this or not....

Since the introduction of female drivers to Indy and NASCAR, the famous command has changed to either, "Gentlemen, and Lady, start your engines", or more frequently (with more females on the grid), it's , "Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines."

But with all the Danicamania this past week, they had to tweak the line. Actor James Franco gave the command, but he blew it.

"Drivers......and Danica, start your engines!"

We burst out laughing. So Danica Patrick isn't a driver?

I think he meant to say "Gentlemen, and Danica, start your engines", but it came out wrong.

I thought she did very well in the race. Her pit stops sucked, she needs more practice on not spinning her tires, and she was always about 2 seconds slower (and losing positions in the process) than the rest of the field, but she's getting better.

I think her post-race interviews are painful to watch. When asked how the race went, she begins to give you every detail about the handling, traction, engine revs, etc., like she's giving her crew chief feedback.

All we wanted to know was how the race was for her, we're not your chassis guy.
