Go ahead and pencil Danica Patrick into the Daytona 500 starting lineup.Stewart Haas Racing has finalized an alliance with Tommy Baldwin Racing that guarantees Patrick a starting spot in the Sprint Cup opener and keeps her No. 10 car on the track for the entire Cup schedule, team owner Tommy Baldwin said on Tuesday.Patrick will be locked into the Feb. 26 race with the owner's points accumulated last season by TBR driver Dave Blaney, who was 33rd. The top 35 in owner's points from last season are guaranteed a starting spot in the first five races, meaning Blaney now will have to qualify his way into the 500 field.Since Patrick is scheduled to compete in only 10 Cup races while participating fulltime in the Nationwide Series, TBR driver David Reutimann will drive the remaining 26 races in the 10 car.The goal is to keep the 10 locked into the top 35 so Patrick will be guaranteed a starting spot for the first five races of 2013 when she runs her first full Cup schedule.TBR will receive technical and pit crew support as a part of the deal.

if she would race in less clothing, i might actually watch .............

[Steve12]

This year in Nascar is going to suck. I'm going to get so fucking tired of hearing about her. She's not even that good and she's still in commercials and shit because idiots want to watch her race for 25th.

not me. the only time i watch her is when she's in very little clothing in a commercial or something............. other than that, she serves no purpose in my life.

[CaptainStubing]

i mean, c'mon, seriously, she is incredibly fucking hot for a race car driver ........... much better looking than any of the male drivers

First woman to lead a lap at Indy, first woman to finish in the top 10 in points in Indy, battled for a win several times in a shortened circuit in the lower Nascar series.


I'd say she's pretty good. While she may not ever win a title, Top 10 in points is highly plausible. And yes I am a Danica fan.

[Steve12]

She's a middle of the pack driver who's overrated because she's a woman. She's the greatest woman driver to ever live but she's massively hyped as a great driver when she's not. As a Dale Earnhardt Jr fan I hate to make the comparison, but it's obviously a good comparison. He's overrated too because of his name. They're the 2 biggest names in racing and neither is a top 10 driver. Although Dale jr did a lot better last year than in recent years.

[Dragonite]

I expect both to be chase drivers year in and year out. I will admit it might take a couple years for D Patrick to get there.

I am a little E fan myself, he had a bad stretch but he's pretty consistently a top 10 driver. All you have to do to make the chase is finish in the top 5 a couple times and the top 10 a couple times and run the rest of the year in the middle, thats what I expect out of both Dale and Danica, I personally hope she wins. I think shes a little better than you give her credit for.

[Steve12]

She might be better than I think she is, but as a driver she doesn't deserve the attention she gets. I guess I give her the Tebow treatment to an extent. They're considered good not because of they're talent but because of their beliefs or gender.
