GO DANICA!!!; ▶ Reply to This

I would assume from the lack of speed that she is not comfortable in the car because she is so far off the pace.If it is true that the cars get strung out quickly at Fontana, I hope she can survive and not go a lap down in the first stint and that she and the team can continue to work on the car for better handling and more speed. I'm watching the race at my neighbor's.; ▶ Reply to This

she looked not too happy , her n the girl carrying helmet and coat , looked like . what up . ?

ESPN showed a brief clip of her talking to some reporters a few minutes ago and she said it was a bit overwhelming for everybody to be around her car like that after the race when she wasn't thrilled with the results and needed some time to cool down, of course, I expect the dopey Nascar writers (Jeff Gluck) who didn't want her around in the first place to call her on it, but whatever.; ▶ Reply to This
