Will Danica Patrick finish the season with an average of at least one crashed car per week?

I think she has a really good chance to set the record for running an entire NASCAR season and having an average of crashing at least one car per week, for the season. Has any other full time NASCAR driver ever been able to do that?

    Without question, Danica is the most qualified candidate to attain this lofty goal. However, I believe, like last year, at some point, she will be ordered to stop trying to actually race the car. To just follow around behind everyone else and try not to fall too many laps behind. That is, realistically, the only way she can ever expect to get through a race without wrecking.

    Humm, never considered this. I bet yes, she will crash an average of one a week. How many years now has she been in stock cars ? I believe we CAN say she certainly has the ability to wreck cars. Just can't finish on the lead lap. ROFL

    It's Ok DW always has a hug for her. He'll BS his way to making it all better. Maybe she can get a job at the Hall of Shame. How is that fiasco doing anyway ? They were inducting everyone in a rush, now nothing.....another nascar bad idea ? None of the talkers have mentioned it for ages. I bet you if the place still exists, you will see all the same names you hear on the broadcasts, working at the hall of shame. The nascar family, if you are not one of those names forget about working at the hall of shame.

    That wouldn't be a record. Ricky Rudd and Ernie Irvan both exceeded that average early in their careers, and LeeRoy Yarbrough bankrupted his owner late in his career.

    But she is on pace to set a record for most times a driver was crashed into as an innocent bystander. But that detail is conveniently ignored by all of the woman-haters.

    Don't forget practice and qualifying. I am not a Danica basher, but she needed a few more seasons in NationWide racing first. She cannot relay to her team just how the car is handling or not handling, making it difficult to make adjustments for her. I think she'll be back in Indy cars in a couple of years.

    A lot of times she is wrecked by other drivers. She'll never develop as long as NASCAR allows other drivers to wreck her.

    Drink one beer every time she goes a lap down. And take a shot of whiskey every time she wrecks, and see if you can make it through the season without becoming an alcoholic
