Did Danica Patrick commit NASCARs ultimate sin?
She had the audacity to turn Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Martinsville!
Will this be the end of her NASCAR career?
Has/Will the Junior Nation Mafia put a hit out on her?
I'm just kidding, Danica had a nice run at Martinsville and a top 15 finish with a fairly clean car to load back into the hauler. Dale Jr. had a nice run going too until that happened though.

I like how Jr. said, "we had a good car early on, but made considerable adjustments through out the race to change that..."

The replay shows that mark martin slowed, jr slowed and Danica could not avoid it. then on the next turn Vickers got in the back of Danica and into Dale Jr. She commit no sin at the end of the race.

Depends. If it was up to actual NASCAR fans, Danica would be a fading memory. However, if NASCAR was forced to make a choice between the two, Jr would be history. Brian France personally "inspects" the seat of Danica's car after every race. (For "safety" purposes, of course.)
Now I am waiting to see her make a blunder out there and put Tony Stewart into the wall. That is going to be hilarious. It won't be her fault, of course.

It did not end her career She never had one. She is a HORRIBLE driver, she had one of the best rides in Indy, and still couldn't do anything, and thats happening again here in NASCAR. Keep an eye out for Simona De Silvestro though She is a phenomenal Driver. Although The only female drive I have personally ever seen that could honestly compete in NASCAR was Sara Fischer. And BTW Danica drives for Jr. so,

I am neither a Jr nor Danica fan so I'm shocked I'm even saying this...
First of all, Junior was already a lap down. That only out him 2 laps. Second of all, they are both commercially favored by NASCAR. If she does something to him, she'll be the most hated driver ever. If he does something to her, he will get called sexist and probably fined.

Great run for Danica. Jr not so much. Jr said on his radio it was not a big deal (Danica getting into him).
- Anonymous8 years ago
I thought you were going to say because she finished ahead of Tony and Ryan. But Danica was bumped from behind and it got her loose, and that's when she slid into the 88. It really wasn't that big of a deal, other than the fact than she outdrove half the field.

The part I don't understand is why Dale ran so low into turn 3 to begin with. He did not give up any room at all, which is weird considering they weren't racing for position. Maybe if he had given a bit more room to the 10 car, he wouldn't have gotten hit. It was fun to see, though.

Wasn't her fault, according to his spotter. I was there and listening on the scanner. Spotter blamed the 55. I think that was the car.
She had a GREAT day. 12th at Martinsville when you've never seen the place. She was passing veterans late in the race. Impressive.
Jr was awful. His car was good for 20 or so laps and then it just went backwards.

i'm sure junior will take his revenge and ram his machine in the back of danica's... what? to explicit?
