at the expense of sounding sexist, she will probably do fine until she gets into "the big one"...once she has made sweet love to the wall at 150mph, or slid a few hundred yards on the top of her helmet, id like to see how well she handles everything

i'm impressed...but like patrick said, one big wreck (and it happens to ALL of us, eventually) and she's done.

Ok...my prediction....she'll spend the early part of the race in the top 10....Rahl will let her know not to go out like a rabbit, no nead to chase the early leaders, or get involved in any early lap mishap.

If her car can handle well in traffic, then she'll just ride the middle of the race biding her time, trying to catch the breaks on pit stops and cautions. Then step it up at the end...cautiously. Top 7 finish, rookie of the year.

Awesome prediction.

Apparently, fear of running out of gas and the fact that the other leaders who passed by her switched tires at their last pit stops really gave them the edge at the end of the race.

Them Ricer Engines did really well.

LOL - you guys are retards. Danica Patrick is freakin amazing driver. Any woman that makes it to the circuit has my full respect. Maybe she will win, maybe she won't.
