Yeah I was saying to myself yesterday before the Sprint Unlimited that, that was a race she'd never race in since it's a race for the previous years pole winners. And dog gone if she didn't go out there on her first try and get into next years race.

let me guess waiting on the conspiracy theorists to come out? on iracing its funny to see all the haters blowing up in the forums... pretty sad actually. The funniest things im reading is well she weighs less than other drivers.... yet they equal the weights by adding under the seats.. oh well not surprised.

She earned the pole she deserves to lead them to green. My point was that her coming from Indy those cars are so different I didn't expect to see her win a pole. And if you're calling me out for being sexist you don't follow me or my knowledge of the sport well. I think Johanna Long is one of the most talented drivers in NASCAR and if she was given the chance to race in the caliber equipment that Danica races in that young lady would win a lot of races.

In my mind this is the biggest thing Patrick has done to date, in any racing discipline, including her win in Indy Racing.
If she qualifies for more than 20 races this year I'll be impressed
(& before today, surprised)
All I can say is she better not pass Junior

in popularity lmao

I'd say her 3rd place finish in the Indy 500 is more impressive. And she"ll qualify for every race this year.
