Women Drivers

So today was the day Danica Patrick was supposed to make her name in the NASCAR world. She did, not for winning but for wrecking on lap 49. Like her wreck in the Bud Shootout on Thursday, this wreck was not her fault but still it continues to cast shadows on her driving ability. I will be the first to admit I am not a fan of Danica Patrick, not because she is a female, but because she didn't work her way up through the stock car ranks. The highest ranking female today was 19-year-old Johanna Long. Ms. Long was making her NASCAR Nationwide Series debut and ran a fairly clean race. So here is a round of applause for Johanna Long, the best woman driver in Daytona this weekend.
