Danica Patrick crashes out with 17 laps to go at Daytona

Danica Patrick's fourth and final Daytona start in 2012 ended just like the first three; with a crash.

Patrick qualified third and spent most of the evening near the front, leading five times for a career-high 13 laps, and missed the race's 14-car pileup because she was at the head of the pack. It wouldn't have been a stretch to say that Patrick might have had the race's best car.

But 17 laps later, Patrick wasn't so lucky. Jeffrey Earnhardt went around off the bumper of Ricky Stenhouse ahead of Patrick, and Patrick, who was on the outside as the field exited Turn 2, darted to the inside to miss Earnhardt's car. But as she made her move to the left, she clipped the front bumper of a car and off she went towards the inside wall.

She's overrated, overexposed and nothing but a marketing gimmick.

But at least she lived up to her name......Patwreck.

A busload of more talented drivers that haven't learned one of the most basic lessons of all: sex sells.

And brings more idiot fans to the sport to watch a lousy product.

pretty sure she’s won as many Sprint Cup Championships as 80% of the other drivers on the circuit.....

Including Junior.

She’s a hammer and she’s cute when she’s pissed....

...and she’s cute...

Says it all.

Let's face it, her accomplishments in no way rate the hype she has recieved from NASCAR and the media. IMO, she was the best woman who would agree to cross over from Indy or F1 to NASCAR to assist them in their diversity outreach program.

Kourinikova is a very pretty girl but there is nothing wrong with Patrick’s figure.

It’s no big deal. When the men get in wrecks, we don’t blame them, or call them lousy drivers. Multi-car wrecks are an integral part of NASCAR racing.

When you blame Dale Jr., Jimmy Johnson, Tony Stewart, etc. for getting in a wreck, then you can fairly blame Danica Patrick.

I’m wondering now why NASCAR didn’t just hire Rodney King as a driver.

If Nascar wants to chase skirts and bikinis, so be it.

just so they don’t make all the drivers wear them off the track. ;-]
