500 Qualifying-plus all things Danica

[dpkimmel2001]

FOX 1pm.

Any predictions on who's winning the pole today?

Hard to bet against Patrick. Almost a full mph ahead of her teammate on that last practice.

I been hearing "It's the car , not the driver already ." Just in case she does win it . Never heard that when Dale Sr. was winning . Like Andy says about JWT , noone could beat that Venturini car . I think that was their first Daytona win.

How insane would it be if Danica won the pole and the 500? Brian, Darby, Helton and Matt would SE.

Won't matter if she does win the pole cause she won't win the race.

Won't happen.

 

[FenderBumper]

Won't happen.

What wont happen? Danica winning or the simultaneous ejaculation?

 

[ted@economy]

Won't happen.

Thats exactly what Andy said about JWT .

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

Won't happen.

Both

 

[#17D500winner]

The #10 is fast but I'm going with the #18 or #88.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Should either be Danica or Kenseth.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Just trying to stir the pot here, but I could see millions of reasons why Nascar would want Danica to win the pole.

I am going Danica 1, and Tony 2.

If she does, the media will make the coming week all but unbearable.

 

[Jeffrey00]

If she does, the media will make the coming week all but unbearable.

But, I bet the 500 is the most watched 500 of all time. Then again her presence alone will probably do that. However you know Nascar would want to cash in big.

 

[StewartHaas-Gibbs Racing]

She won the pole for last years Nationwide race at Daytona and finished 38th in the race. I expect similar results even if she does win the pole.

She ran it last year as well.

 

[Jeffrey00]

She ran it last year as well.

Oh I know, but last year is hard to judge ratings wise due to the race being rained out and ran on Monday night. However I think it still did pretty decent.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

She ran it last year as well.

Last year is tough to gauge what kind of impact she could have had on the ratings seeing that it was run on a Monday night.

Personally I'd love to see this race ran on Sunday or Monday night every year.

Damn, you beat me.

 

[Zerkfitting]

Should either be Danica or Kenseth.

Based on practice and last nights race these two have a very good chance at taking the front row.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Matt Kenseth has quite a bit of speed to pick up if he intends on grabbing the pole.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

SPEED coverage on now.

 

[MOEJOE]

SPEED coverage on now.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh yeah

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Cars lined up and ready to go.

 

[Jeffrey00]

Espn already pushing the Danica might get the pole story.

 

[VaDirt]

Wow! One car qualifies, they go to commercial!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Eight minutes in to the telecast and FOX is already on it's second commercial break. They trying to outdo TNT?

 

[FenderBumper]

If she does, the media will make the coming week all but unbearable.

A blessing in disguise. If Danica wins the pole, we won't hear as much gushing about the new car or the Titan. Matt being mature and the key to Denny and Kyles future, and the Penske dynamic duo will also fade on the mention chart.

 

[Vic RattleHead]

A chevy wins the pole, guaranteed
Who knows which one

And DW will have to start wearing a diaper to work.

 

[Zerkfitting]

You are probably right. But under race conditions it looked like he could pass without help at times.

 

[FenderBumper]

And DW will have to start wearing a diaper to work.

I think he already does.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Danica Patrick to the pole.

 

[BobbyFord]

I like it

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

196.43 average mph... WOW!

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Gonna be hard to top that.

 

[Zerkfitting]

you think it will hold up?

 

[Bobw]

2nd fastest pole time ever.

 

[#17D500winner]

This whole Patrick/Stenhouse deal is going to cause some controversy as long as those two are racing in the same series. Mark my words that if either of them get wrecked and the other tangles with the wrecker, we're going to hear about it.

 

[Zerkfitting]

We'll be hearing about Danica all year long - get used to it (hehe)
