I've been walking around the Sprint Fan Zone here at Daytona and a bunch of people have been asking me what lap will Danica Patrick wreck on in the ARCA race today at Daytona.  In fact, a bunch of peeps have told me they have pools going.

Here's my take.  Yeah she may wreck... Ray Dunlap told me she looked nervous while walking pit road with crew chief Tony Eury Jr. today.  BUT, she may be just  the thing that NASCAR needs right now. 

We all know there have been a lot of complaints about certain things in the sport we all love so much lately.  Danica could be a shot of adrenaline we so desperately need!  Dave Despain told me the diehards think Danica-Mania is a bunch of bull... he may be right.  But just the fact that my daughter Katie asked me about her today (that's my daughter that doesn't care much about racing), tells me that she is bringing new fans into this sport.  That's a good thing.

So here's what I say... Go Danica!
