DEVELOPING: Danica Gets Daytona Pole (UPDATED)

((HT: NASCAR on FOX))

Fastest in practice... fastest in the race for the pole...

Danica and the #10 car ended up qualifying early and finishing early- good enough for a little history...

Here's the run...


196.43 miles per hour gets her up front knocking off her boss in the series, Tony Stewart...

“It would be really nice, it’s a very big pole out of all of them during the year for attention and especially for GoDaddy. … That’s who that helps the most,’’ Patrick said before pole qualifying. “There are other races throughout the year that as a driver you feel more proud of yourself to get, but this is a whole team effort. I don’t give much credit to myself for driving and turning left; it’s very much about the car and the engine.

“The pole at Daytona is very much a team goal. I think being fastest on the chart, being fast in general just shows everybody else how serious (crew chief) Tony Gibson is with his guys and he wants to get me a pole and do absolutely everything he can.”


She was on the pole for Nationwide Series racing last season, but now it's an entirely different ballgame...
Jeff Gordon qualified second...

How's that for an "Oh, by the way..."

Here's the reaction... which is understandable...
