Don,

I plan to watch the race today and for the same reasons that 90% of the other people will. I hope that she does well.

Danica mentioned in another interview the decision has not been made whether she will enter the Nationwide race. She stated the decision would not depend solely upon the finishing position in the ARCA race, but how well she adapts and the quality of her driving.

From MotorSport.com:

" Danica Patrick has been making headlines for weeks regarding her debut at the Daytona International Speedway. During media day at the Daytona International Speedway on Thursday, her session attracted more participants than many of the others combined. "

" Since the media wasn't sure how Patrick would respond to the army of reporters that cover the Daytona 500 and other major races, they were eager to see how she would conduct herself. If first impressions count, Patrick came across as very congenial, articulate and humble, and handled the endless number of interviews and photo sessions with ease. "

" Patrick admitted she faces a steep learning curve, but is ready for the challenge. "I just have to learn, and if I am part of an accident, I will learn from it," she stated. Regarding her goal for the upcoming race, she wants to do more just finish it. "A lot of these guys have done it for a long time; I can't put a number on my goal, as I never do," she said. "The idea is for me to improve my position and make as few mistakes as possible." "
