Sometimes you win a race outright, sometimes you have it handed to you. He'll take it though and it's great to see his brand new team get their first win.

My favorite racer, Danica Patrick, made history today as the first woman to finish in the Top Ten in a NASCAR race.

Made my day!!!

Damn I missed a good race today apparently

me too!

On the last lap the race leader cut a tire and hit the wall. Mark was right behind him in 2nd.

Danica started way back in the pack(38th) and just started picking off people. On the 60th lap she was a lap down in 23rd when a caution flag came out. She got the "lucky dog" pass, got back on the lead lap and made her run to the front.

She ran that course like a veteran, even passing the Daytona champion on her way to the Top Five. 4th place is a great result considering how far she had to come. Not a scratch on her car either.
