I've got to be honest when I say that I didn't watch a single lap of Danica Patrick's debut NASCAR race at Daytona last weekend. I was having a lot more fun in San Francisco. But at brunch the next morning, I was lucky enough to catch a video of the 12 car pileup she managed to mangle herself in partway through the race.Patrick managed to stay out of the top 20 cars throughout most of the race and avoided an earlier 7 car wreck before she dropped out of the top 30.
She did remain lucky. None of the big boys plowed her into the walls, and the wreck she was involved in wasn't her fault. Her teammates stated to just be glad that she got a few laps in before she wrecked. Experience.
Team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. totaled his car after going airborne later in the race. The estimated damages to replace his car and repair Patrick's are over $200,000. I'd rather have a Maserati.
