I love me some Danica. But I’d prefer Ana Ivanovic... I think they may have been separated at birth.

Are they limiting the cars to under 200 mph now?

I remember pole position runs around the 204-206 marks in the past.

The Daytona 500 is one of the restrictor plate races.

Guess she isn’t lesbian, because you would think the NOW gang would be so happy for her, to accomplish such a great thing.

Nascar is way over regulated these days. Glorified spec racing with a ton of stupid rules. It’s very close to WWE.
