Watched the race, and she did a real good job; got punted once, put on a bit of a car-control clinic, saved the car, had to pit twice for repairs, re-entered 22nd, was back up to 12th quickly, then drove the car well to finish 7th.
She's nobody's fool, and she can drive; once she gets comfortable in the car, it looks like she's gonna haul a$$.
Ironically, her "sparring partner" Milka Duno also started the race, but crashed out early driving into a wreck.

Overall she did well.It will take some time for her to be comfortable in drafting situations but she'll get it.

What?? If so, she needs a new PR agent or lose 25 lbs.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Glad to hear it. Go Girl! (that is Go Daddy Girl).
I look forward to seeing her race more this year.

She was running third then went up on the outside lane and fell back to about tenth place in some time during the last ten laps. There were six female drivers that started the race. The first crash took out three of them.

Saw the race,she did a nice job. I liked how in the last lap she wasn't afraid to trade paint with the car on the inside.

Years ago she was the host on the power block on spike tv. sure do miss seeing her every sunday.

Yeah, I gotta say she made me a fan, just from an analytical standpoint of how she handled the transition to a completely different car and style of racing. The in-car footage of her whipping the wheel around is something I want to see again; very cool under pressure and in a completely different situation (car weight, on the grass, controlling a spin) than her Indycar experience. Better than some of the experienced Cup guys yesterday.
It's nice that she's cute, but her coolness gets major points.

Sorry guys...

That was an ARCA race...She was running some of the best funded stuff out there...Let's not forget Kyle Petty won his first ARCA race driving King Richard's stuff. (I'm a diehard Petty fan, just calling it the way it is). But most of the cars out there were junk.

I guess she did well considering half the field crashed out behind her...But the Nationwide series is gonna chew her up and spit her out.

Not knocking her talent, just saying let's not get carried away here...She has car control, don't know why she slammed into RC towards the end of the race. But yeah, a number drivers with more stock car experience wadded up a bunch of race cars.

BTW...I don't think I'd spit.

I had the TV on in the shop today, and I thought it was the Danica channel.

She will have the most coverage of anyone . She speaks proper english , smart, pretty ,good driver, and is cognitive of here surroundings.

. 95% of the nascar drivers are completely retarded on camera with no personality or carisma ( not to mention they are older than dirt ).

95% are older that dirt...?
LOL...Where have you been...Hello....This is 2010.

EDIT: BTW...She's not racing in the Cup series with the "old" guys...She's only going to race in a few hand picked Nationwide races.

Totally agree...

And she's doing what NASCAR needed...Getting people to at least talk about the sport. It's pretty much sucked since the new points format and COT was introduced...And now that the the kids have taken over, all we have left is Mark Martin.
