Nope! Ran in the top ten pretty much all day. Didn't screw anything up. Solid top 10 finish. She did a great job!

Announcer was a Bob Costas. "Drivers and Danica"?

Sucks that the last lap battling cost her 5 spots. She was on the podium for a long time. I don't like her...or nascar for that matter, but I would've loved to see a chick win. Anybody but that toothy berkeleying Kyle Brozlofski dork is good I suppose.

She coulda made her move going into turn 3, Guess she didn't have the kahonies to do it though. I think her primary objective was to finish, mission accomplished.

Damn. Guess I'm not psychic.

She did damn good. Wish my Roush Fenway guys did a little better. I think TRD has some splanin' to do.

In reply to N Sperlo:

Well if there wasn't a Ford pile up that collected Edwards, stenhouse, baine, and a host of other ford drivers, that would have been nice.

As stated before, Danica can drive, it's the shiny happy people around her that are the cause of wrecks. The majority of the race she was top 5.

Yea, now how about those blown up Toyo engines?

He clearly had "Gentlemen, start your engines" on the brain. However, there were some male drivers there whose status as gentlemen is debatable too. Still, quite a WTF; Saturday's announcer didn't make the same gaff.

What are all the Danica haters gonna do now?

she said something about a train in her post race interview that caught my attention..

Enjoy the non restrictor plate races where she has had trouble before.

A woman ahead of me was talking about how Danica wouldn't get anywhere if she had to rely on her talent. She didn't see why I thought the comment odd coming from someone wearing a Junior jacket.

You should have put her in the wall.

Ironic words from John Force. Considering all the hype around his girls. If he wasn't the one giving his daughters free rides would they get anywhere on their own? They've won some races, but they're on the best team in drag racing so it's not surprising.

You make a compelling point. He's right, but sure, his daughters certainly had the easiest time of just about any driver.

So, how many more "poles" will Danica be on just this year?
