Convincing debut for Danica

Danica Patrick, after spending the first part of the race in the first places of the peloton, made a mistake after 50 laps, before being caught by Nelson Piquet Jr three laps later. Having left on the grass, the GoDaddy.com driver was able to return to the track and nibble places over the laps, finishing sixth at the end of the 200 miles (80 laps) on the Daytona oval.

« I was afraid of crashing during most of the race, conceded Danica Patrick at the end of the event. But I had a lot of fun. I hit the front, I hit the sides, I was hit from the back. I learned a lot and I also had a lot of fun driving. I can't wait to start again! »

After the Daytona race in the Arca Racing Series, Danica Patrick could return to the Florida ring next weekend. She could begin her Nationwide Series program at the season opener but will have to decide in the coming days. “ I haven't made a decision yet, confesses Danica. I will think about it and make the best decision. I must not forget that Kelly (Bires) is playing the whole season and it will therefore be him or me. »
