Well the second week of Danica Patrick’s NASCAR debut ended abruptly with a destroyed race car. The race started off badly for Patrick when she narrowly avoided a crash and was shuffled to the back of the pack. Danica ran outside of the top 30 for a while before making it back into the 20’s. Patrick got caught up in a 12 car accident and her car was mangled. Danica remained optimistic though when she said, “It’s important to have realistic expectations.

Danica Patrick is very good for NASCAR as she seems to be a
