DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — All week long, Danica Patrick waged an assault on the record books. A week ago, Patrick became the first woman to win the Daytona 500 pole position, and in Sunday’s event she became the first woman to lead a lap in the Great American Race.
All that, however, came as consolation in the wake of her eighth-place finish. She took the last lap in third place, only to get shuffled back in the draft as she attempted to make a move on winner Jimmie Johnson.

Please spare us the nonsense about Danica Patrick. She is an "also ran" period. A media made darling. Nothing more.
I agree. She had 10 laps to move to the inside and finish in the money, I don't think she has a clue what she's doing.
