So what's the Danica-Ireland connection? I mean, besides the fact that the car is usually green.

Its a long shot Jimmy but I suspect the connection may have something to do with her family name

Wikipedia doesn't say. It does say that her parents met on blind date at a snowmobile event though. I hope there's no connection but the word "Patrick", that would be brilliant marketing

It'll look good getting lapped three times. That is if she doesn't put it in the fence by then.

Plenty of 4-leaf clovers on there. ATM she needs all the luck she can get. I hope for her sake that she doesn't do the usual St Patricks day thing and have a full Irish breakfast, washed down with a pint of Guinness, followed by a Guinness chaser and all the Guinness she can drink.

Two laps down and just cracking the top 20 in a "clean" Bristol race? Good race for her, yes, but she has always been able to keep her nose clean and stay out of trouble, which is what you HAVE to do at Bristol. She's just not fast.

Well since we're talking about her performance, I have to say that I am very disappointed in her running order and finishes. She was actually quite good last year. now, she's running worse than some underfunded teams. What happened? Also, I'm still disappointed in her attitude towards her teammate.

Danica at Fontana
Your water temperature soars, your water pressure drops, your oil temperature sags, so what do you do:
(a) Suspect that you have a serious water loss, radio your pit to tell them so, and to let them know you might need a rad. change?; or (b) Keep going until your engine is a heap of molten scrap, and then stop? |
