God, it cant get worse. The 2 announcers said they like how Danica's eyes were so focused. And then the other said he liked how Danica tightened her belts, "boy, she really gets those tight, I like that" . Only on Fox, and it is Michael Waltrip. I've gone over to PGA golf, at least it's less boring.

Guess I better check speed & look at how Danica tightens them belts. NC State/GaTech isnn't coming in too good.

This is tough to watch.... 3 giant cautions.

Are these guys pro? Or are the pro-am like many of the Rolex drivers?

This is typical of the ARCA races at Daytona. You take kids used to running on 3/4 mile flat tracks and put them on the high banks. Of the 10 cars in the first wreck. 8were rookies.

Not trying to be sexist, but 6 female drivers, 3 out in the 1st 29 laps......Seen some big mistakes when the yellow flies, like running down on the apron at high speed.....

Danika tried to run high and just didn't have the balls to bump draft...hurt her and the driver she was drafting. Dropped back down to the low line where she's comfortable. She sure looked tentative up there on the "cushion."

Piquet tapped Danika in the tri oval and she went for a wild ride. Pretty good save by her keeping it off the wall.

Danica's having a great race, she's working the outside now quite well.

She lost two positions running the way I saw her race at Richmond. Constantly trying to run up on the cars in front. It doesn't work in stock cars and the red and white car she got P5 from took it back and then some. Fun to watch, 7th isn't bad, but she has some to learn. Nice work on the grass.

Hey, the girl may not be the best driver out there, but she CAN drive. Probably better than anybody posting on this thread...
