No need to be confused...
It's a simple matter of talent. Ricky has it, Danica doesn't.
The caution before the last "big" one, Danica was about 7 seconds behind the lead pack. Had it not been for that caution, she would have been far enough behind to not get involved in the big one at the end.
That's pretty much been her season so far - way off the pace most of the time - just trying to finish the race.
