Of course NASCAR will probably not do squat to them in the long run.
(NASCAR Statistics) How are pit stall's chosen? by qualifying results, the 1st choose their stall and so on. If a car/driver has to go to the rear of the field before the start of the race due to driver change, backup car, engine/transmission change, etc they do NOT lose their pit stall selection

NASCAR Named “National Treasure”: NASCAR has been named one of the United States’ “National Treasures” by PARADE magazine and will be featured in the widely distributed print edition this Sunday. PARADE’s ongoing series highlights “uniquely American people, places and things that make us very, very happy,” and so has also recognized the Declaration of Independence, the Hollywood sign, Stevie Wonder and potato chips among other “National Treasures.” The NASCAR distinction is supported by Sprint Cup driver Danica Patrick, who describes the sport as “totally American - NASCAR’s roots are true.”(NASCAR Wire Service)(6-7-2015)
Danica not under consideration for F1 ride: The American Haas team have effectively ruled out signing US female racer Danica Patrick for their debut Formula 1 season next year. Patrick, 33, has been linked with the team, who are building up to an entry in 2016. But team principal Gunther Steiner said Patrick, who has won an IndyCar race, was “happy” racing in the American NASCAR stock-car racing series. “This would be a gamble and I don’t know if she is ready,” Steiner said. Patrick would in any case not meet the qualifying criteria to earn an F1 driver’s ‘super licence’. Haas are basing their new programme on a technical partnership with Ferrari, from whom they are buying as many parts as is allowed under the F1 regulations. The only parts of the car they have to design themselves are the monocoque and the aerodynamic surfaces. Haas said the team were looking at “a number” of drivers but refused to be drawn on their identity. Among the names linked to the team are former F1 racers Esteban Gutierrez and Jean-Eric Vergne, who are Ferrari’s reserve and development drivers this season after failing to find a race seat.(BBC)(6-7-2015)

Looks like the #5 is tryin’ to wreck everybody.
I forgot to add an hour on the DVR and missed the ending. No problem, I’ll watch Victory Lane on FS1.
