DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Here's something to consider: Maybe Danica Patrick is a pretty good race car driver.
She certainly has her detractors, the ones who have dismissed her as nothing more than a well-marketed, attractive female who has tallied all of one victory in five seasons of IndyCar racing. So she of course was written off long before she ever climbed into a stock car with the intention of giving NASCAR a spin.
Her critics rolled their eyes at her intentions.
And rightfully so. Dario Franchitti couldn't cut it, and Sam Hornish Jr. is still struggling three years after his move. With five IndyCar titles and two Indianapolis 500 victories between them, Franchitti and Hornish have far more accomplished resumes than Patrick.
So what would make anyone think Patrick would do any better?
