What is your prediction for Danica Patrick's finish at the Sonoma race this weekend?

Better or worse than her results at traditional oval tracks? It is harder to go a lap down on a road course but if anyone can do it, Panica can. She has been finishing on the lead lap lately with the help of a "lucky dog free pass" or two. Will she be able to do it this race without any free passes?

Update:

I am actually predicting that her anger management "issues" will be too big a problem for her and she will wreck out with all the rubbing and paint trading that is the norm at this track.

Update 2:

I also predict that, when she wrecks, that she, NASCAR and all the race announcers will agree that "It wasn't her fault".

    ~ 30th. Yeah she has some experience on RC's from Indy. But quite frankly, she sucked on them in that, it was the ovals that pulled her up a bit in the overall standings. And I can't see why that would have changed just because she's in a different series.

    I think road courses are going to prove to be her only tracks to shine on. A 15th place finish for her is good on an oval, and probably always will be good finishes for her, but she has a knack for road style racing.

    I will say 11th place for this weekend though.

    Expect Patrick to do well this week. From the look of her Indycar Career, Sonoma was one of her better road course tracks. Patrick has also been rather successful in her road course races in stock cars. She ran Top 5 all day at Road America last season in Nationwide and led 20+ laps at Montreal. Look for her to have one of her better finishes of the season if she can stay out of trouble (aka away from Jacques)

    I will say Top 20. She is a decent road racer. And she has one of the best teachers, Smoke.

    I would guess she places 14th. ( Oh, I count how many from last place forward. It just sounds better for her )

    And no sir, it is always those mean old boys fault. They just play too rough.

    I actually think she might do pretty good like Ambrose and Montoya have at the roadcourses.

    I think she will wreck out. But of course it will be a shoe or beercan on the tracks fault not hers.
