Danica to NASCAR

[Ron61]

Don,

to see how well she handles that if the car isn't right. "

That wasn't my whole statement. I said to see how well she handles it on a track where the car has to be set up for changing track conditions and she needs to give feedback to her crew. I think she did great but if you are going to quote me please use the whole statement, not just part of it. And there is a world of difference in a car that isn't handling well at Daytona and say Texas or one of the short tracks which keep changing during a race. That being said, I am a fan of hers and hope that she will do well.

According to another interview, there were adjustments after the infield excursion, whether track conditions or race related, still was a need for Danica's feedback as well as following the driving guidance from the Crew Chief in adapting to the handling, i.e. after the excursion

In another interview, Danica mentioned she sensed when the tires were getting worn and adapted accordingly

I'm not denying that she did great and handled the car well.My statement was how would she do on a shorter track when she may have to drive a whole section of the race with a car that is not handling well. They also had a lot of cautions in this race. Personally I hope that she does well and believe she will, but only time will actually tell.
