She is on the pole for the Daytona 500
what say is your excuse? Conspiracy theories? Need to boost exposure so she was allowed ?

I'm probably labeled as one of the biggest Danica haters on the board.

I have no "excuse" for her being on the pole - and no inclination to create one.

Joe Nemechek got the nickname "Front Row Joe" because of his qualifying efforts in 1999. What was his average finish starting from the pole? 28th...

My issue with Danica is the fact she is stealing a ride from a more qualified driver. She's been racing cars since she was a teenager and has only won a single race. She's never won a championship while racing cars in any division.

If it weren't for Go Daddy pimpin' her out, she wouldn't have a ride.

As already posted, her career average finish in Cup is 28th.

In Nationwide her career average finish is 21.4. Her rookie season it was 28th, her second season was 17.4 and last year was 18.8.

What has she done to "earn" a Cup ride?
