I watched Danica race a few years ago in Atlantics. She qualified up towards the pointy end of the field. Somehow, she either spun herself, or got turned around in the first corner of the first lap (Festival Curves at PIR). She rejoined the race (obviously at the back of the field by quite a ways), and in that short sprint race managed to claw her way back up to an 8th or 9th place finish. On paper, it was an unspectacular weekend. Qualify P4 or so. Finish P8 or P9. But to see her slice her way back through the field was a lot of fun. She clearly passed (both for position and not) more people than anyone else that race.
Does she have what it takes to win a championship? Who knows. But I wouldn't say that she doesn't belong racing at the IndyCar level, either. Her $0.02 are worth a lot more than any of ours, at the track.
