Just saw this on the news.
Apparently it's a huge deal. I don't think a girl has ever won the Daytona 500 before. I did not have a favorite race car driver, but I am going to start cheering for Danika Patrick.
-
what is the race car fan stance on this? on the one hand, she's a woman. but on the other, she's white. they must be torn.
-
I don't really know the names of most races, but I know that I have heard of the Daytona 500. If she starts the race at the front, I bet she has a really good chance of winning the Daytona 500 today.
-
Pfft, girls can't drive. :driving: --> :wrecking:
-
this is the one that dale earnheart died at pete. idiot wrecked his race car right into a fence.
-
you guys ever see the atari game "pole position"? graphics were rough ridin' awful.

I was driving to work today and had a slow driver in front of me and slow drivers in the lane next to me so I couldn't get by. She should get a friend and try that. It was effective
-
I have a car but I don't drive it very fast. I don't think I would win the race. :frown:

Well, bad graphics or not, she is the pole position winner, according the news that I saw. So, basically she is going to win the Dayton 500.
How long before we start seeing stickers on the back of trucks with her number? Monday?

Well, no crap.
If you win the Daytona 500 you are the best race car racer in the world.
-
what's her number? 69? :lol: because she's a woman!
-
I bet she's the lightest race car driver in terms of weight, so could that affect (effect?) how fast her racecar goes?
-
"pole" :lol:
-
I just looked it up. She's number 7, just like Michael Bishop! :horrorsurprise:

I bet I would beat you, Pete.

And Tony Madison

I'm not going to sit around and speculate about whether I would be good a race car racing.
However, I am hoping that wherever I watch the basketball games today has the Daytona 500 on one of the TV's. This Danika thing has my interest PEAKED!

Just so we're clear, she drives the racecars that are really close to the ground and their heads poked out and it looks a little bit like a rocket ship, right?

No, it's the other ones now. The ones that look like regular cars.
-
If I was her I would just floor it at the very beginning and keep it floored until the end. since she's starting at the front that should guarantee she wins unless she wrecks into a fence.
-
I'm starting to think that having those fences there is really dangerous.

You strategy works until you have to stop for gas. Then, it apparently comes down to how fast your gas guys are.
-
heh...she can win my pole. amirite?
-
ooo good. I'm glad someone started a Bloodfart/Hellhammer NASCAR thread. nice.
-
Confession time: I HAVE checked out godaddy.com to see the full version of their super bowl commercial.
-
Wow, go back to arkansas you podunk nascar fans.
-
She's a PIONEER!
-
I don't have any nascar-fan friends, but I bet the amount of "I bet she gets lost/asks for directions in the pit/stops to pee" jokes is just intolerable.
-
I dont know anyone under the age of 40 that watches racing, but this morning my boss had nascar radio on xm in his truck and the redneck callers seemed to be very supportive of this young lady.
Also, from what I gathered, this is like the college race, the real one is tomorrow. Could be wrong on this one tho.

They should take out those fences. Seems like a lot of cars crash into them. Would be an easy way to reduce crashes.
