Wait to see how she rates in ARCA and Nationwide, she seems to hold her own in open wheel, she may do the same on a stocker. It has everything to do with her getting a ride in ARCA. You think if she didn't have the "Go Daddy" sponsor coming with her Jr. Motorsports would have hired her? Danica has one only one IRL race, and that was because of fuel. Lot's of Open Wheel drivers, with numerous wins have failed miserably in NASCAR. Sure Tony Stewart is a successful Open Wheel driver in NASCAR, but he grew up racing on the dirt. I say Danica is too old to simply hop in a 3400 lb car and be a force in a 43 car field. 2001 Dodge Dakota 408 All Motor 11.27 @ 117.83 mph 2017 NM Mopar Challenge Series Champion.

I think the smart thing will be to run the ARCA race at Daytona, not the Nationwide race. Then run the next Nationwide race as her debut. IMO, she will have to work on her temper to be accepted in NASCAR. And to avoid too many wrecks. 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1

And Michael Schumacher comes to mind. Schumacher has never raced in NASCAR...But Nigel Mansell and Villeneuve did. They failed. Montoya has done OK... Danica will bring a few fans to the ARCA series, then a few more to the Nationwide series, she'll probably quailify because she'll be in good equipment, she'll get lapped, crash out, get frustrated....And go away. She's not that good a driver. 2001 Dodge Dakota 408 All Motor 11.27 @ 117.83 mph 2017 NM Mopar Challenge Series Champion.

You are correct about her getting into the field, but having "Go Daddy" a sponsor helped her find a ride with Jr Motorsports. It's a high dollar sport, money is hard to come buy and I have a feeling they will be building her a few cars.... I'm not hoping she does poorly, I just wish she would have landed the ride because of her ability, and not because she's so damn hot.....LOL 2001 Dodge Dakota 408 All Motor 11.27 @ 117.83 mph 2017 NM Mopar Challenge Series Champion.

An attactive female racer that's has had huge media coverage in the past, sponsors would have been tripping over each other to set her up with a NASCAR ride. My question is, did she want to move to NASCAR on her own, or did NASCAR do anything help persuade her to come over and help boost the sagging tickets sales.
