And since when did I pick on anyone? I only recall reviewing Danica's career as a driver. By the way, I would be delighted to hear your opinion on where you think Danica's ranks are (Sprint Cup). In other words, what driver(s) would compare Ms. Patrick to?
I certainly believe she is gonna be more successful in cup than in NNS. Mostly because her fellow competitors are more experienced, she got wrecked alot in 2012.
I'm not a huge Danica fan, but in her defence, she had a run on him and he did come down on her. I think the fault is mutual. They both could've given each other some racing room.
1) Yes JR motorsports is a powerhouse in some races but RCR and Roush Fenway (in the Nationwide series) is a POWERHOUSE. Nobody has finished that 7 car higher than what Danica has placed it (which I believe is 8th). 2) Don't even get me started on the crap team shes on on the Cup side lol. People are saying she has SHR equipment but its really Tommy Baldwin equipment. Tommy Bladwin racing and SHR just allied their points together so she can race.
Maybe not the number 7, but look at what Brad Keselowski did under JR Motorsports, JR motorsports is a competitive team, I'm not saying she is a bad driver, just that she probably has made more money for Junior than the money she has cost him in wrecked race cars. And then there is Cole Whitt, he's a rookie this year but he finished 15th with turn one motorsports in his first race. The point I'm trying to get across is, that the ability to make money will exceed that of raw talent.
@highlo3517 As a Gordon fan, I must admit. In 1993, he had quite a few crashes whilst getting adjusted to the Winston Cup cars. But look where he went in his career. She's just in her adjustment phase right now (albeit she is doing way better than early 2010).
Amazing how it is NEVER Daneeka's fault. Someone should put a compilation of just Daneeka's utube crash vids (about an hour long) and not the ratio of times she says it is her fault vs. someone else's fault.
BAHAHA xD I was thinking more like Michael McDowell or Dave Blaney. LOL Ok let's look at stats. Jeff Gordon, in his first complete year in the NATIONWIDE SERIES, scored 3 wins, 10 top 5s, 15 top 10s, placed 4th in points and led 20% of the total laps he competed in. In Danica's first full year in the nationwide series, she scored no wins, no top 5, 4 top 10s, and only led 59 out of 9600 laps run, which totals out to 0.6% of her laps run. Now compare her stats to Blaney's, theyre much closer.
I think top10s at tracks like texas and bristol are immpressive. And when she doesnt wreck she gets solid top15s. I mean running top20 and on the led lap in her first bristol up till the wreck, is great. Same at phoenix in november. So she is getting it at ovals.
how about 2 years ago for Mr Stenhouse? Nobody gave 2 shits for him and just like that hes a 2 time champ and a cup driver. It dosnt matter what year it is, guys like Darrell Wallace jr are ones to watch. And from what i saw, she was right there with Earnhardt at daytona and with Fellows at Montreal. Cant ignore that.
LOL Danica Patrick makes the commentators talk about the stupidest things, How to turn Left! Like the top comment says, he has to make the arc and turn.
@josh19852008 My point is that she didn't think he would turn in front of her and then she got upset at him for doing so. They may both be at fault, but I get so fed up with Nascar blowing her up into something she's not and then she goes and blames others when she is equally or fully responsible for the accident.
So you are saying that Hendrick Motorsports, or in this case JR motorsports isn't a powerhouse. Dale Earnhardt Jr. uses the same equipment Hendricks would use.
Danica grew up racing open wheel. WAY different than NASCAR. The Dillion brothers have been in NASCAR since they started. I mean your not bashing A.J. Allmendinger. People set the craziest double standards!!
Little tip when the track is turning to the left... the other drivers are gonna turn left... that means you slow down and turn left. dont plow into their ass and ask why did you turn?
@ErosaScuderia Try that escuse in an accident in which you rearend someone.The car in the rear is responsible for checking up.Danica flatout messed up.The man needed to turn left to make the corner,she gave him no room at all.
bad comparison. Dillon born in stock car, Danica born in open wheel car. IndyCar racing and stockcar racing are different animals and different racing.. Conversion is hard.. Nice examples are Montoya, Allmendinger, Hornish or Franchitti.. Tony Stewart from his 3 Nationwide (Bush) series starts had 2 DNQs..
@LosAngelesCity You can not explain that to idiots that sit on their couch and think they know about racing. Been around it all of my life. Worked on many cars. This is a tough incident to judge. Danica did hold her line. He did come down a little. Each could have done something different. It is kind of just a racing accident IMO. Two people trying to get the same line.
@jraybay well if you want a valid point look at all the videos where she has crashed may take you a few hours. most drivers will wreck at all the tracks over the course of 4 or 5 years. she knoced most of them out in her first year. Also she always blames the other driver when she is involved in an accident. i haven't seen one yet where she has admitted a mistake or isn't sure what happened.
Believe me I know she is bad. Ive followed her since she started Indy, but what i do know is she does have talent. A pole at daytona last year and the quickest car throughout daytona testing. But does she deserve this ride, defiantly not. But shes here and aint leaving so try to find the positives.
I'll be the first to try and find positives when she actually FINISHES a race instead of blaming her car and crew for her fuck ups, sure she got the pole, yea big achivement, I dont give a fuck...point is if she actually can finish a race and be civil about then she will have my respect
They arent being handed rides because Danica's getting all the attention. She's "going through the ranks", blah blah blah. 19 top 15's are crap, especially in NNS. And last time I checked, Danica isn't finishing many races. How many has she crashed out of again? Anyways Im pretty sure my point has been made, and I think you get what Im saying also. She doesn't have as much talent as people say she does, and never will. I think Im done replying to every ignorant, biased fan that disagrees. Cheers
she sucks...."she's logging laps to gain experience". Your right in 35th. and when she ran the 600 and it was amazing she finished the race and ran "all the laps". its hard to run all the laps when your 6 laps down.
@highlo3517 There is one thing you have not taken into account. It is her first you in NASCAR. Secondly it is a lot different from a Indy car. Tell me how many Indy drivers that have been successful in NASCAR and how many drivers have been successful in Indy. Do not say Tony Stewart. He was far from successful in Indy. Great NASCAR driver though.
(cont.) By the way, her average finish is 28.3. Yup, LOADS of talent. She's being handed sponsorship out of her ears, legit Hendrick race cars, having her face plastered on every NASCAR show, magazine, and blog, and is dating Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (who should be able to give her very interesting tips). And yet she is finishing 28th every race? Sex Sells bro.
@jdlutz2425 She is a proven racer. They did not blow her into anything. First women ever to win in Indy and soon she will likely be the first women to win in NASCAR. It should be a big deal that a woman is also racing in NASCAR. Most sports today like this are dominated by males.
Don't want to but I have to defend her here...she's carrying WAY more speed than he is into the corner and he tries to take the line away...if any other driver was coming up, he'd enter the corner higher giving room. they race her like chumps every week
McDowell and his spotter should know better. slow car = get out of the way Not take the low line into the corner. Any other driver would of said the same thing
Then why arent gals like Maryeve Dufault, or the Cope twins being handed rides to up the ratings? I think they are taking advantage of this oppurtunity to have a woman that can actually finish races. 19 top15 finishes are just decent, not terrible. And she has only been dating stenny since the off season, we will see what difference that makes for this season.
1 pole. Cough Daytona Cough. Daytona does have its prestige, but face it, its not hard to drive. 7 top 10's isnt anything special even in Cup, plus they run 35 races. 1 Top 10 out of every 5 races? Ouch. And as you said, quickest CAR in testing. Plus, there werent many laps run, since the big one took half of everyones cars out 10 min in to day 2. Plus, in day 1, guess which team had the best cars?Hendrick. Where does Danica get her cars from? Hendrick.
1 pole, 7 top 10s and had multiple great runs taken away. cough Villeneuve cough. And she was the quickest car in Daytona testing. She shows lots of potential in the road corses and plate races for 2013.
i just cant seem to find a reason to support her she just hasnt shown me anything that tells me shes a great driver so she won in indy....no offence those cars are extremely well engineered and i think it plays a roll in her success granted shes not a bumb but when it comes to nascar shes too whiny toughen up and stop blaming ppl she overdrove that corner u can see her shoot into the 2nd grove he gave her room im sorry
Well where is it then? I haven't seen any of this amazing talent youre talking about. How many NASCAR races has she won? 0. How many top 5s has she had? 1 total. It was NWS, and it was a fuel mileage finish. And do I have to bring up how many times she's crashed? Seriously, do your research. That probably won't even help, though. I can tell youre a stubborn feminist who's in denial that Danica isnt good.
Try not talking about a different series and learn something about Nascar. You can only earn points in ONE Series. She chose Nationwide and not cup. In Nationwide series she is 10th in points.
the problem is she gets sooooooooooooooooooooooo much attention more then stenhouse and that kid desrvers the spot light he will be a great she will be nothin in 3 yrs
(cont.) Oh, also, I don't care that Danica's a woman, Im comparing her to all NASCAR drivers, but if you want to go that route, learn some facts about female drivers. Shawna Robinson got her first pole driving an unsponsored car, while Danica was plastered on every NASCAR magazine imaginable. LOL You want me to do my homework? Read my first two pages of comments and say that again.
Who's here after McDowell won the 500?
Wow, you're wrong! What line do you use on that track?
Crashica Patwreck at her finest
Are there any videos of her not crashing and finishing high in the field?
And since when did I pick on anyone? I only recall reviewing Danica's career as a driver. By the way, I would be delighted to hear your opinion on where you think Danica's ranks are (Sprint Cup). In other words, what driver(s) would compare Ms. Patrick to?
@Aztecnight421 It is actually her first season. You do not count running few races as a season. I agree with evreything you said though.
He has 1 win in both series than her
10th of 13 full time teams, and she by far has the best team out of the teams she beat, nuff said.
if mcdowell said if was danica's fault, the media and all her irl fans would bash him for it. so he took the blame. poor michael.
I certainly believe she is gonna be more successful in cup than in NNS. Mostly because her fellow competitors are more experienced, she got wrecked alot in 2012.
I wonder if Chevrolet has set up an assembly line for Go Daddy and Patrick for the 2012 season?
I'm not a huge Danica fan, but in her defence, she had a run on him and he did come down on her. I think the fault is mutual. They both could've given each other some racing room.
1) Yes JR motorsports is a powerhouse in some races but RCR and Roush Fenway (in the Nationwide series) is a POWERHOUSE.

how many other cars were out there during qualifying?
and she's what 27th in points now? Real superstar we got here...
Amazing how it is NEVER Daneeka's fault. Someone should put a compilation of just Daneeka's utube crash vids (about an hour long) and not the ratio of times she says it is her fault vs. someone else's fault.
Look at what team Danica is on and look at what powerhouse team the Dillon brothers are on....
She finished 10th in the standings her first full time gig in Nationwide - wouldn't say she can't drive.
"Hand signal out the window" for Danica - classic!
I thought Josh Wise finished 4th in Iowa last year?
@DubstepBassist Just a fyi this is nascar just not the cup series
BAHAHA xD I was thinking more like Michael McDowell or Dave Blaney. LOL Ok let's look at stats. Jeff Gordon, in his first complete year in the NATIONWIDE SERIES, scored 3 wins, 10 top 5s, 15 top 10s, placed 4th in points and led 20% of the total laps he competed in.

Now compare her stats to Blaney's, theyre much closer.
I think the name your looking for is Johanna long.
I think top10s at tracks like texas and bristol are immpressive. And when she doesnt wreck she gets solid top15s. I mean running top20 and on the led lap in her first bristol up till the wreck, is great. Same at phoenix in november. So she is getting it at ovals.
how about 2 years ago for Mr Stenhouse? Nobody gave 2 shits for him and just like that hes a 2 time champ and a cup driver. It dosnt matter what year it is, guys like Darrell Wallace jr are ones to watch. And from what i saw, she was right there with Earnhardt at daytona and with Fellows at Montreal. Cant ignore that.
Looks like they both turned into each other. A racing deal, but Danica blamed it all on McDowell and I don't think that it was just Michael.
LOL Danica Patrick makes the commentators talk about the stupidest things, How to turn Left! Like the top comment says, he has to make the arc and turn.
@josh19852008 My point is that she didn't think he would turn in front of her and then she got upset at him for doing so.

So you are saying that Hendrick Motorsports, or in this case JR motorsports isn't a powerhouse. Dale Earnhardt Jr. uses the same equipment Hendricks would use.
Big difference between Indycar and NASCAR you know....
wow what kind of line was she trying to run going into that turn? That was 100% her fault.
Danica grew up racing open wheel. WAY different than NASCAR. The Dillion brothers have been in NASCAR since they started. I mean your not bashing A.J. Allmendinger. People set the craziest double standards!!
Little tip when the track is turning to the left... the other drivers are gonna turn left... that means you slow down and turn left. dont plow into their ass and ask why did you turn?
#81 is now a hatchback
@ErosaScuderia Try that escuse in an accident in which you rearend someone.The car in the rear is responsible for checking up.Danica flatout messed up.The man needed to turn left to make the corner,she gave him no room at all.

Thats part of her charm :D
- AnObsessiveDanicaPatrickFanboy
we need more female drivers,. love em : )
Jonsterツ do you mean hate em? at least her. shes a horrible driver
@jraybay well if you want a valid point look at all the videos where she has crashed may take you a few hours. most drivers will wreck at all the tracks over the course of 4 or 5 years. she knoced most of them out in her first year.

Next year she is running full time.
"He turned down." Well he sure as hell ain't gonna run straight into the wall.
she just got the pole for the 2013 Daytona 500 though..
Why can't anything be a racing deal anymore? All these drivers and fans get all pissed for an incident or a mistake.
McDowell was 65 laps down. Goofball should have yielded.
0:52 NASCAR hatchback
shes right mcdowell turned down to block
I'll be the first to try and find positives when she actually FINISHES a race instead of blaming her car and crew for her fuck ups, sure she got the pole, yea big achivement, I dont give a fuck...point is if she actually can finish a race and be civil about then she will have my respect
Love how just after the announcer mentions the sponsor being Godaddy.com that Danica wrecks their car rofl.
From her onboard it looked like he turned down. Just my opinion.
They arent being handed rides because Danica's getting all the attention. She's "going through the ranks", blah blah blah. 19 top 15's are crap, especially in NNS. And last time I checked, Danica isn't finishing many races. How many has she crashed out of again? Anyways Im pretty sure my point has been made, and I think you get what Im saying also.

i am not speaking of the sponsership and corperate side of things and skill , witch danica has much of
@highlo3517 There is one thing you have not taken into account. It is her first you in NASCAR. Secondly it is a lot different from a Indy car.

Its Michael McDowell.....enough said
@jdlutz2425 Danica held her line. He was no where near the wall so your comment is kind of pointless. Each are equally at fault here.
that reminds meh of that vid where guy gets ticked and says WHY DID YOU TURN WHY DID U F###ING TURN
@jdlutz2425 She is a proven racer. They did not blow her into anything. First women ever to win in Indy and soon she will likely be the first women to win in NASCAR. It should be a big deal that a woman is also racing in NASCAR. Most sports today like this are dominated by males.
@mjhansford lol not close.
Don't want to but I have to defend her here...she's carrying WAY more speed than he is into the corner and he tries to take the line away...if any other driver was coming up, he'd enter the corner higher giving room. they race her like chumps every week
McDowell and his spotter should know better. slow car = get out of the way Not take the low line into the corner. Any other driver would of said the same thing
Thats why she is 11th in points right
In What.
0:10 that could be important bacause TROUBLE
If Danica wasn't a woman, someone would probably have punched Wreckrick by now.
daneeka? really??
@middletech Motegi
Then why arent gals like Maryeve Dufault, or the Cope twins being handed rides to up the ratings? I think they are taking advantage of this oppurtunity to have a woman that can actually finish races. 19 top15 finishes are just decent, not terrible.
And she has only been dating stenny since the off season, we will see what difference that makes for this season.
8th...and Im supposed to be impressed?
At a plate track......... big. Whoop.
Wtf? She just run into him.. hahahha
Sorry boys I can't drive !
1 pole. Cough Daytona Cough. Daytona does have its prestige, but face it, its not hard to drive. 7 top 10's isnt anything special even in Cup, plus they run 35 races. 1 Top 10 out of every 5 races? Ouch. And as you said, quickest CAR in testing. Plus, there werent many laps run, since the big one took half of everyones cars out 10 min in to day 2. Plus, in day 1, guess which team had the best cars?Hendrick. Where does Danica get her cars from? Hendrick.
Her crew has plenty of practice fixing cars.
3000 Street Stocks drivers are more deserving of that ride than her
She had plenty of room low too pass in my opinion she tried to wreck him? maybe not tho
Daytona......
thats all i need to say
1 pole, 7 top 10s and had multiple great runs taken away. cough Villeneuve cough. And she was the quickest car in Daytona testing. She shows lots of potential in the road corses and plate races for 2013.
Sponsorship is not an issue , now you're just trying too hard and not making any sense.
Heh heh he went down on her lol
whatever kid , keep thinkin you know it all
prototype nascar coupe series
car looks like a face 0:18
@Aztecnight421 for real its so annoying
Amen Danica cant not drive at all
i just cant seem to find a reason to support her she just hasnt shown me anything that tells me shes a great driver so she won in indy....no offence those cars are extremely well engineered and i think it plays a roll in her success granted shes not a bumb but when it comes to nascar shes too whiny toughen up and stop blaming ppl she overdrove that corner u can see her shoot into the 2nd grove he gave her room im sorry
ok captain obvious do you have a point?
Well where is it then? I haven't seen any of this amazing talent youre talking about. How many NASCAR races has she won? 0. How many top 5s has she had? 1 total. It was NWS, and it was a fuel mileage finish. And do I have to bring up how many times she's crashed? Seriously, do your research. That probably won't even help, though. I can tell youre a stubborn feminist who's in denial that Danica isnt good.
i cant wait to see danica fail in nascar like she failed in indy...
Im gunna say it......
DANICA PATRICK IS ONLY A BIG DEAL BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMEN AND GETS MAJOR SPONSORSHIP
Whew....
She needs to go back to indy!
Try not talking about a different series and learn something about Nascar. You can only earn points in ONE Series. She chose Nationwide and not cup. In Nationwide series she is 10th in points.
Brad better stick to basketball!
the problem is she gets sooooooooooooooooooooooo much attention more then stenhouse and that kid desrvers the spot light he will be a great she will be nothin in 3 yrs
I think first you should learn how to spell her name.
dude wuz hoggin the track like a shopping cart
(cont.) Oh, also, I don't care that Danica's a woman, Im comparing her to all NASCAR drivers, but if you want to go that route, learn some facts about female drivers. Shawna Robinson got her first pole driving an unsponsored car, while Danica was plastered on every NASCAR magazine imaginable. LOL You want me to do my homework?
