I often wonder what the crew REALLY thinks when they hear Danica giving nondescript, useless feedback on how her car handles. She lacks experience, she doesn't understand the mechanics of a suspension. That's why she's just not competitive, unless they happen upon a setup that she can drive.
When you hear Jimmie Johnson (or most other drivers) provide feedback, they state the car is tight in, loose on exit, isn't rotating in the corner, snapping loose, etc. Then the crew chief decides (sometimes with feedback from the driver) on wedge adjustments and/or tire pressures on the next stop.
With Danica, she just says, "car's loose"....and that's it. She doesn't adapt to the car's ever changing handling. An experienced driver will move up or down on the track and look for the best groove, change their braking pressure, change their acceleration point off a curve, or know when they should follow another car in turns to take air off the nose. Whatever it takes to keep them competitive until the next pit stop.
As for the weekend races, a double-barrel blast of Kyle Busch, winning both Nationwide and Sprint races. That ought to drive the Busch haters up a wall.
