Starting 42nd of 43 in the NRA 500, Danica starting in the hole again. Does she have a bad car and crew, or can't she even go fast with no one else even on the track?
She has a top of the line car from JRMotorsports and a TOP crew chief with Tony Eury Jr so it's her.
She is with Stewart-Haas this year with Tony Gibson as her crew chief .. no one in Stewart-Haas is doing anything this year .. all 3 in the 20's in the points (22,23 & 26).. I don't think they have got the new car down yet ..

Well she was only lapped three times.
The car is not that good. A newer model they are still trying to figure out the best setup or if the model is just a dog.
This week she qualified better, middle of the pack. However, she was lapped twice in the race. After the race claimed a particular driver was out to knock her out of the race on a regular basis. His response was "Shut up and race."
She joined the big time in 2005 on the Indy Circuit open wheel cars. While on the circuit for seven years she won one race in a depleted field. That was five years ago.
So in summary its been five years since she has won a race of any kind and that win was her only one.
I guess from this point on it's best to let her career forward speak for itself at least to the end of the season.
The sad part is she's taking a seat away from a more promising driver. She's unfortunately a novelty act and has become a parody of the hard-charging, bad-ass she tried to put forth. Maybe she should go back to posing spread eagle on car hoods while demanding to be taken seriously.
