In remembering Danica rumored to go to NASCAR, I still remember Richard Petty (or somebody) saying she shouldn't be in NASCAR. I think you still have to applaud Danica's courage to get this series a chance. Many of us still agree she needs to do MUCH more in IndyCar before going to NASCAR. The long shot would be winning the Indy 500 and the series championship in a proper send off to NASCAR.

alot of women have blonde moments, regardless of hair color
But Danica doesn't do as well as she does on ovals in Indycars, so if she is going to do well, it has to be on an oval.
Hornish has improved vastly but nobody will really care unless he can do what Montoya did this year.

Yeah, but maybe she was not expecting the amount of suspension travel over the bumps. Perhaps holding it to the floor around the bottom, where they are at their worst was just not a comfortable thing for her. Which is why I think the ARCA 200 in February is going to be quite an event for her. I mean, that's just a guess, but I doubt the IRL races any ovals with those kind of bumps, let alone in a car as loose as the stock cars, in terms of suspension, I'd imagine an open wheeler to be much more taught.

She did well better in the session yesterday afternoon guys 
On her own, she set her fastest lap of 49.934 (182.028mph) and in the second session, that came down to 50.224 (179.197)
Compare that to her first day and her fastest was 51.095(176.108)
So she's improving, her fastest day three time, in a real qualifying session would have put her 12th on the grid.

Well, she is learning, at least she didn't go out and think it would be like Indy Cars and think you wouldn't need any breaks, I am just glad to see a woman trying to make it to the top, I think Danica is a good racer, she seems to have consistent finishes, and Stock Cars will be a learning curve, but don't judge her based on Arca results, Scott Speed dominated one year, and look now, 36th in owners points, also it won't come instantly to her, which I feel will bring some hate, but she is a new driver, and look at Juan Pablo, and Sam Hornish, they have both been steadily improving ever since they joined Nascar, and I feel Danica will be the same way.

Nascar has been to Road America, but that was back in the 60's, all I know about the race is that Fireball Roberts ended up winning.
