She's not many spots behind Juan "Jet Drier Killer" Montoya and he's run the same amount of races... wonder if she has a car in Dirty Mo Acres?

All I know is that we have a lot in common. My name is Dan, and hers is Danica. I think it was meant to be

stands on the backstretch are empty. Maybe a hundred people scattered.
Many empty seats in the front stretch as well.
The racing may be good but no one can Identify with the cars.
No more "Win on Sunday Sell on Monday". imo

And finished worse than she started - as usual when she manages a decent qualifying run.

She was riding around going fast, she was not racing.

Well, this week Danica has a chance to finish higher than she starts...

She starts 33rd, after qualifying about .7 seconds off the pole speed. New Hampshire is known for frequent long green runs, so she very well could be a lap down inside the first 35 laps or so.

Jimmy Johnson got caught cheating again, so his outside pole starting position was forfeited and he will start from the rear. As Danica is starting from the inside row, she will still start 33rd.

The ice queen has moved up to 25th in the points. Not because of her driving skills, but because the teams around her in the points have run different drivers this season. An example of this would be Denny Hamlin is 5 points behind Danica, but he missed 4 races. The #11 car is 87 points ahead of her though with 2 different drivers filling in for Denny in the other races.

In car owner points, the #10 car is in 28th place. The 55 car is in 18th place, 130 points ahead of Danica, but also has had 3 different drivers this season. The 51 car is a similar situation with 5 different drivers this season and is 41 points ahead of Danica.

The results of Danica's driving skills yesterday....

To her credit, she took responsibility for the carnage on the 17 and 93 cars. Kvapil was done for the day after Danica ran into the back end of Stenhouse which turned the 17 car into the 93 car and the both spun into the wall.

She dropped out of the race after the accident (Stenhouse finished but Kvapil's day was over). I would have expected her to be able to finish the race, but maybe after spinning out one time and then kicking her boyfriend and Kvapil into the wall she figured she'd had enough of "racing" for the day.

37th place finish and she has now dropped back to 27th in the points - 8 points in front of David Ragan driving the #34 car (severely underfunded team). The next 3 drivers behind here haven't competed in all the races.

Slower cars should get out of the way

In the post-crash interview, she was clearly rattled. She could barely speak.

Maybe she was still suffering the after effects of conversations with Stenhouse and Kvapil...

I don't think the damage to her car was significant enough to end her day. But maybe her mental state (I saw the post crash interview also) was so fragile that her team felt it best not to put her back out there.

I think it was more about the 'little' nudge her boyfriend gave her car after catching up with her after the spin.

It was Kvapil that gave her the nudge out on the track. Ricky was looking for someone - but he didn't realize that she had slowed down and was already behind him...

[johnta1]

Isn't Stenhouse in the 17 car?

[67GTONUT]

She is in over her head......

Needs to take a step back to Nationwide series and learn these heavy cars....

She was pushed up too fast based on her marketing ......

[63Banshee]

She'll have to give up the bunghole to make up for that one!

This was on in the background tonight ; and it was one of those "What did he just say?"moments.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno introduction:

"Alright, and my next guest is the most successful female race car driver in US History...Danica Patrick!"

Wow!

[falcon4]

I've been pretty bad I must say...everytime I see her car on the TV (yes we get NASCAR live) I call out "Danica CrashPatrick"!
