Now, some imput from someone actually at Daytona(Allison Tower, row 17, seat 14). This was the first race in three years when the superstrech (or backstrech) was actually OPEN. The loudest cheers were for Danica Patrick(loudest boos.....Kyle Busch!)
The racing as a whole was fairly mundane. Part of the reason was the Gen 6 car and the weather played a BIG role(cloudly all day, raining 40 miles to the west). As for her loosing third place and finishing eighth, it was probably her spotter. All in all, she did pretty well considering it was her 11th start. One thing for all you circle track boys; strap on a 1700lb, 1000hp IRL machine where your feet are only protected by less than a ft of carbon fiber and titanium and see how well you do. Bill Elliott did it and stated that it scared the S&#T out of him at 170mph, NOT the 230-235mph race speeds. Carry on....
