Danica wins Daytona pole.....
 
Let the whine begin....


Danica Patrick first woman to win Daytona 500 pole

She can drive, no 'bout a doubt it...:)

mikesride 02-17-2013 01:17 PM

Good for her....
Already done more than Kyle Petty.....
But everybody dumps on her, I don't get it.
Maybe not the best driver, but I think she has proven she belongs.
(She would drive three time around me before I even realized there was a race on!)

"She's sitting on the pole position."

Heh heh...

First woman ever, good for her! I don't get the dumping on her either....

Please explain how she has done more that Petty's 8 wins and 8 poles by winning 1 pole?
Kyle is not The King but please :rolleyes:

Because she comes across as "spoiled rotten to the core" imo :rolleyes:. Don't know why you're dissing Kyle...he's a class act imo (above and beyond his driving ability, and yes, he's won in the big leagues 8 times, so he didn't exactly suck). I went to a basketball camp when I was 12 (along with Kyle...same age)...you'd have never EVER known he was a multi-millionaire superstar's son unless folks told ya...like I said a class act...always has been and still is imo (Victory Junction, etc.). Danica, time will tell...

I think it's great that she got pole, I have nothing against her at all, but, seriously, it seems like every time Nascar needs to juice the numbers, something like this happens. The media is going to be tripping balls on this story. It's gonna be Danica-freakin' mania!

Joe Bob 02-17-2013 02:43 PM

Danica Patrick and Patrick Motor Sports......both give me heartburn....

M.D. Holloway 02-17-2013 02:46 PM

Say what you want but I've crushed on her ever since Indy...I think she is very hot and talented and yes if given the choice I would cherish a magical night with her...just say'n

+1...

Didn't Dale Jr also get pole at Daytona on the 10th Anniversary of his dad's death?

ckelly78z 02-17-2013 03:00 PM

I think she has the abilty to compete and saw her in many situations in the Nationwide series where she was about to win or place well, only to have some other driver wreck/ruin her chances.

And yes, given the chance, I would give her the pole several times.

Joe Bob 02-17-2013 03:05 PM

I think....and I do.....that she has the ability to turn fast laps.

However, I question her ability to hang in there in the WTF moments. IF she is getting booted by other drivers on purpose, then the sanctioning body should do something. But since she has dropped down to the WWF world of racing.....it's all show.

I doan beleeve bubkiss.....roller derby has more credibility.

I actually think he's a class act as well....lots of good charity work and seems like a nice guy. Hard to grow up under the shadow of his father.

I don't watch much crashcar but every time I saw him in a race he was already three laps behind!!! NO DISRESPECT INTENDED!!!

Smile more often, life is funner that way!!!!

From what I can tell, there's very few women you haven't crushed on.

ZOA NOM 02-17-2013 03:26 PM

Dudes are never accused of whining or being spoiled. She always gets accused of it, even when she has a legit beef. I loved watching her stomp down pit lane heading for the other chick that pulled some stupid move. I was praying for the chick fight, but alas...

I like her, she's got passion for the sport. And she paid her dues. And she has a spectacular ass. There. I said it.

Good for her, but this. The Iron Sheik will be dropping the green flag.
