Daytona 500 showcases Danica Patrick as She Earns the Pole Position
This year marks the 1st time Danica Patrick starts NASCAR with a full season in the National Series and makes her debut in the NASCAR Sprint Cup races starting at Daytona 500. Patrick has added name recognition in the current day's competitive vehicle motorsport by capturing the pole position at the Nationwide Series at the Daytona 500. The sweet taste of victory was transitive by becoming a victim of chain reaction no-fault crash on the second lap that finished her opportunity to win in the Nationwide Series race day. She has cleared the way for female drivers to add new dimension and definition to what's a mostly a male driven dominating car racing sport.
