It is the first time a woman has won the pole in any NASCAR cup series (the highest level). The fact that this pole is at the premier NASCAR event, the Daytona 500, makes it even more notable.

Dont watch NASCAR so pardon my ignorance... Is that the 1st time a girl has won it?

nor do i much, is this the same Danica?

Am I wrong or did she not get Indy pole as well?

she has been fast all thru practice too,she really has a good car for the 500,too bad as she won't have a partner and one idiot would pop out of nowhere yet again thinking they can bully her out of the way.

Yes this one

That sounds impressive but I know barely anything about NASCAR

Could someone in the know equate the achievement to F1? (e.g. it's like Webber getting a pole in 2011 when Vettel was sitting out or the opposite and it's like Maldonado getting pole for example)

Is qualifying round an oval track not fairly easy to perfect to the extent it comes down to hundredths?

No partner? She is part of the Stewart Haas Racing team, and the other two drivers are Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman. Tony has numerous titles, 2011, 2005, 2002 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion, 1997 Indy Racing League Champion, 1995 USAC Triple Crown Champion, and 1994 USAC National Midget Series Champion. He's as tough as they come, and considered one of the finest talents in NASCAR. Ryan is built like a bodybuilder.


You can't bully anyone at restrictor plate racing, at those speeds you risk crashing out just as easily as anyone else. Danica's qualifying average was 196.925mph, and they will be traveling much faster in a pack. In qualifying at Daytona, it's all about the car, and she has tremendous resources behind her, in the form of Go Daddy as a sponsor, one of the finest wind tunnels in the world (even f1 cars use it), and a team deep in talent.
I meant tag team partner for the race.

Danica Patrick qualified first,and Jeff Gordon second, their positions are locked in. But on Thursday there will be two qualifying race to determine to order of the rest of the field. That will be her first true test.

This is what happened to her last year. If you don't want to watch it all, just got to 1:00.00

Ill agree with race winners who agree with me. Like tiny Stewart who used to not even go to Daytona testing for single car runs because he says anyone can do it. Dale jr always says its boring. Sure you get money and a pretty award and as a driver sure it would be cool to have. But it really doesn't mean anything at these places. You'll be going back and forth for 500 miles.

This is what narked me about. We get it, you've got a set of boobs, stop using them to get some cheap PR and get on with the racing (which she seems to be doing a bit more now).
