We need to start an office pool for Danica.
My prediction for Phoenix
Qualify. 26th
Finish. 28th
I have my DOLLAR in my hand, who is going to hold the money?
I really missed it on QUALIFYING!
Ya, it’s hard for the managers to fabricate a fast time (pole) at a track like this.
Exactly
Daytona racing , except for the last 10 laps, is done between the crew chiefs and crews at the shop.
For the pole they told her " You weigh 100 pounds less than these guys.Hold this pedal down and hold this wheel straight, and the car will go 198 mph".
P.S.
Before you ask . YES, I think I could do it .

Everyone THINKS they could.
Up to 34th fastest in final practice! Making progress!
That’s probably true but…
If I had an extra thumb, or maybe was from Uganda ,or my grandfather owned a chain of chicken restaurants, maybe I could get my shot.
LOL

You could do a ride along or if you have enough dough, drive a stockcar at Daytona. It’s an experience.
No way !!!
The ride along is out of the question. I just don’t think I would be comfortable (read chicken) to sit there while someone else is
in control of the car. Driving it myself, HELL YEAH, at Daytona where
they limit you to around 160 mph should be like driving down I-4
should be like driving down I-4
Two years ago, someone gave a gift: 16 laps at the Petty experience. I trailed the pace car, followed their instructions exactly, and the speed gradually rose to 155. I know that was 40 mph slower than they race at. Although I would have gone faster, the fact is 155 was unlike anything I’ve ever done. It had my full attention.
I agree, you should try it! It was cool!
Remember when
Rex , remember Sebring with the FMSC ?
I did the math with the final gear ratio, tire height, and rpm , and we were hitting right at 130 on the airport straightaway.
I didn’t have windshield braces and when that sucker bowed in at me , YES, it had my full attention. LOL. :sprachlos020:

Yeah, that was such a cool weekend. My car was shaking like a Mexican space shuttle when we were going down that WWII concrete runway!
Danica predictions
Joanna Long gets more out of her car than Danica does.Her race at Phoenix was soon hort,because Sam Hornish missed a gear shift,and Long ran in the back of him and messed up her car.
Overall she gets more out of her car and skills and Patrick does wih her multi-million dollar team.At least Long won the Sowball Serby once
What’s a FMSC ?

Probably putting on her make up when she hit hornish. 
Steady Steve, no really—steady, you’re double posting.

When Mz. Long wins an Indy Car race we’ll have something to compare to. I don’t believe Danica Patrick ever entered the Snowball, so again we have nothing to compare to. You hate Danica and everything about Danica. We get it.
But i’ll bet Tony Stewart knows exactly who Mz. Long is. And if he thought she would have been the best choice to help along in her career, and later hire as a team mate, i’m sure he would have.
I think you mean - if he thought she could bring an endless supply of $$ he would have hired her like he did danica.
