So...because she purposefully let go of the steering wheel, that means she meant to do that? Let go of the steering wheel...a move that signifys the belief in a coming impact with the wall?
@MurphyMonster It's a trained response in open wheel racing. The force of the impact of the front wheels with the wall can be transmitted back through the steering linkage and break the drivers hands, wrists, or arms.
@MurphyMonster no because she is used to indy car, and they have to let go of the wheel, when they might wreck, cause the force of the wheel could break their wrist, its a natural indy car reaction
@moeali777 Engineering one of theese cars requires a bacheolers degree in engineering. Driving one of theese takes the strenght of a football player, a extreeme amount of endurance, and a ton of knowledge and experience to know what to do in a given situation. Apparently, you lack knowledge of this, and I do, and NASCAR is for me, thus making you a far greater retard.
That's..... gross. Anyways, Nelson quit trying to be like your dad! he had skills to back his aggression, all you have now are fenders! Enjoy your slow and painful fade into the truck series' mid-field!
I HOPE DANICA STOPS RACING BEFORE SHE GETS HURT DOING THIS STUPID SHIT....THERE ARE SAFER THINGS TO COMPETE AT AND MAKE MONEY DOING THAN DRIVING AROUND WAITING TO BE KILLED IN A CAR WRECK
THE FUNNY THING IS THAT ALL THE GUYS WHO BAD MOUTH DANICA WOULD DOO DOO THEIR PANTS OUT THERE.......IF THEY EVER GOT THE CHANCE TO BE OUT THERE....WHICH THEY WONT
I always laugh when someone says someone can't drive sitting in front of a computer screen like he or she knows their shit. Lets see one of you get out there and do better!
Pfff, Internet. Where people can talk shit and not back it up... Great place!
@SL8R71 Such an ignorant comment... If she failed in Indycars then how did she end up in NASCAR. It's ok if you "hate" her, but if you post shit that isnt true then that makes you a troll.
@xxCrazyEights88xx ITS CALLED MARKETING AND BRINGING MONEY TO A TEAM DUMBFUCK INBRED!KINDA LIKE THAT CUMDUMPSTER DIRTY WHORE YPU CALL MOMMY SUCKING DICK AT THE TRUCKSTOP TO BRING HOME MONEY SO YOU CAN HAVE THE INTERNET FUCKBOY!
@SL8R71 So what are you SL8R71 ten? eleven? and the question is does your mommy know you're on her computer? Danica is probably 5ft. tall, maybe 105 Ibs. would give you a lap and a half lead and beat you driving in reverse in a 2 lap race.
@Lights0ut1109 Everybody does that because the steering wheel is jerking around and holding on to it could break your wrist. DW isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
@Lights0ut1109 in IndyCars, they use centerpoint steering, and being that the wheels are open, when a driver knows they are going to crash, they let so the wheel doesnt spin and snap their wrists
@Lights0ut1109 they let go of the steering wheel cause the crash might turn the wheels of the car hard eventually the steering wheel will turn hard which might cause the drive a minor fracture or something on their wrists
@Lights0ut1109 in an indycar, the downforces and wrecks are so severe that if you are holding onto the steering wheel during a quick full speed spin or wheel to wheel crash, you have a very good chance of breaking a wrist or arm, so indycar drivers are trained to let go of the steering wheel...in a stock car, this is also an option when the car is out of control to bring it back into control, it happens in very rare and specific circumstances, like the ones in this spin
@Lights0ut1109 The way the drivers hold the wheels is not like Nascar. The way the steering boxes are, the wheels are just so twitchy and when they hit a wall they spin like crazy and if you're holding onto it when it snaps it will snap your wrist.
@Lights0ut1109 Because that's what open wheel drivers do when they know they're about to wreck. They do that because those steering wheels can be snatched one way in an instant and it's not a regular steering wheel, it's kind of like the "butterfly steering wheel" where the top and bottom isn't there.
@Lights0ut1109 When you spin in Indycar you have to let go of the wheel because when it comes back the wheel will come back with such force it'll destroy your hands
@Lights0ut1109 when you lose the control you let the hands off the wheel and you let them tight on your torso, it´s a maneuver that´s is also used on F1
@Lights0ut1109 In open wheeled cars, (although it can happen in any car) if the wheel makes contact with a wall, violent forces can be transferred into the steering wheel and potentially break the driver's hands/wrists. Although bodywork makes this a rarer event in stock cars, Danica's instinct as someone used to driving open wheeled cars would be to let go of the steering wheel if she was certain she could not save the car. Brilliant job from her in this incident.
@Lights0ut1109 "It's a trained response in open wheel racing. The force of the impact of the front wheels with the wall can be transmitted back through the steering linkage and break the drivers hands, wrists, or arms."
I've never really given thought of her as being a good driver, but this changed my mind. over half the drivers in Sprint Cup can't make that good of a save.
@UltimateWheelman As was I. I was saying to myself, "I'll be excited to see Danica in action, but I don't think she's going to do real well in Montreal." Then she ran top-10 a good bit of the race, and then them stinkin' brakes gave out.

Kyle Petty is an idiot. This woman is a naturally talented driver and deserves to be in NASCAR more than half of the people that are running today. Danica didn't win a lot at Indy, but for the most part she always finished very well. Take a look at the stats of all the Indy drivers and they fair much worse than her. Then Kyle barks like he knows what the fuck he's talking about. Coming from a guy who could buy a win and lived off his father's name, he should shut the fuck up.
@CourtyardPigeon couldnt agree with you more i cant stand kyle petty he has no tallent being a comentator led alone critisize other drivers when he hasnt raced in what 3 years.( and for some reason i cant spell tonight massive brain fart)
Only people who drive REAL race cars know that what she did was all skill and very impressive. All other people who think its luck know nothing of race car driving.
@foxboy64 if you think that then you know nothing of racing sometimes you can grab the wheel and let it move then grab it once where you need it then it will almost automaticly straighten the car up
@ojoj626 i know of this. its often used in drifting, but most of the time when its intentional they don't take their hands completely away from the thing and hold them up in what i presume was panic.
they should have parked Piquet Jr for the rest of the race because there were only like 10 laps left I think. Now, i'm not a Danica supporter by any means, but that was just flat out ridiculous exactly what tony did to Matt Kenseth back in 06
Women are pointless and are pissed off that one of them thinks she has the right to do something with her life, and men are pissed off that one of these pointless creatures managed to achieve their own dream, which they themselves are too shit to accomplish.
eh. i dunno. i dont see how its a save. she spun out. she completely lost control of the car. ive seen other saves, via greg biffle and jamie mcmurray. but, thats my opinion. if you dont agree, thats fine. im just sayin, i personally dont think she saved it.
when she let go of the wheel she braced herself to hit the wall, and then grabbed it again when she realized she wasnt going to hit it... and he DID over corrected massively over and over once she was trying to save it after avoiding the wall... the only reason it didnt do anything is because she was on the grass and didnt have the grip to actually affect the car in any major way... she was just lucky with the way the banking, in combination with the angle that her car was sliding on, saved it.
@123aellis omfg why do u hate on her? she is a great driver.she knew what she was doing. if it were u u woulda hit both the walls some how cause u suck monkey nuts.
@Cloudstrrifeee No, you're the fucking idiot. First of all, the 2010 Drive For COPD 300 was on ESPN, not FOX. second of all, Nelson Piquet Jr is NOT in the Nationwide Series and finally, TONY EURY JR IS HER CC IN ARCA TOO FAGGOT.
@HitlerOnTheRoof, I don't think that's a fair comparison. If Anna had been the only female on the men's tour, then maybe. Anna Kournikova never won against people she was expected to beat and nowhere near her skill level. I don't think anybody would argue that Danica's skill level is greater than her comrades either in IndyCar or Nascar.
I can say one thing: she might be back this year!!! She's doing fine so far... Has to improve her qualifying though, hasn't started higher than 18th in IndyCar.
Those guys want stats? Danica hasn't had a DNF in the IndyCar Series in 36 races!!! That's OVER 2 years (last was March '09 at St. Pete) and it is an ALL-TIME RECORD!!! Has finished in the top 8 in 5 of the 6 Indy 500 races she has taken part in.
The drop in results came because of the Indy-NASCAR double-duty... Last year, she entered Indy 16th in the points (with an oval), now she's 11th (one to go until Indy). Also in NASCAR, she didn't have a top 30 by now last year, now she has 3 top 17!!!
I like how impressed the commentators are about "car control... you dun got it er ya don't!" ... lol no car control can be learned. It was impressive, but all drivers outside of NASCAR and drag racing know something about car control.
Funny. She can simply lose control of her car and let go of the steering wheel, and people will go crazy about how great a driver she is. But when i saw Ken Schrader weave around 5 spinning cars, driving underneath Stewarts car while he is airborne, and ultimately avoiding a 20 car pile, nobody really notices.
to all those that think this is luck, stop being trolls and accept that she has great car control, shes a professional, I bet 90% of us would smack the wall, even I probably would.
@MurphyMonster No but that Phil guy pointed out at the end that she didnt overcorrect because the steering weel went strait, and I didnt mean to seem like an asshole in my comment, I just wanted to point out that people were going too far with the luck thing.
@MurphyMonster Yes, it can be. If you've ever seen a rally race, you'll see that letting-go is used by every driver at some point. Because rally is about loss of traction sometimes, this technique is used to get the wheel back from O.L. as fast as possible. Notice, she lost traction, and used it. (meant to) I bet she didn't do this during the rest of her race. Because she meant to do it, and was successfull, it's goog car control. It's actually awesome car control, and you're jealous. wawa
@KeggsBD Sorry, but this is NASCAR. And the the only Rally Driver i know in NASCAR wrecks all the time. Maybe if she studied stock-car driving techniques, she could get a top ten. And jealousy? Well, when i decide to become a slut and a tool to make money off of, then i think i would be jealous, because she sits upon that throne.
@KeggsBD And im not jealous. Im just pissed because someone like Schrader, Marlin, or Martin had to work their ass off for a win, or could just do something amazing with a racecar, but she doesnt even have to finish a race and is still the best driver in NASCAR.
@MurphyMonster Wow, here are the facts:She started in carts. (also winning championships) She moved to England at 10 yrs age to get into the next level cars. She raced For. Ford, For. Vauxhall, Barber Dodge, Toyota Atlantic. She races I.R.L. (finished seasons 10th 7th 6th and 5th - all top tens) She raced Rolex Series. She races N.A.S.C.A.R. (1 win) So, she's done everything all your favorite drivers have. Worked her ass off as you say. What's your problem there?
@MurphyMonster And, certainly no-one has said she's the best driver in any series. She's an average driver at the top level. Which is still a good driver. I remember hearing that she was telling the younger I.R.L. drivers to get the speed up from 190 to over 200 through the corners at Indy. She said go against your instinct, it feels a bit shaky at 190 but sticks better at over 200. (downforce)
@MurphyMonster That statement proves she's got bal*s, and c'mon you would never get to 200 through the corners at Indy without at least a small career in racing. No-one would. Seems like you could, but you really couldn't. You'd smush yourself on the wall just like all the other bitter armchair male ego drinking comment just to make a comment type folks. So, if it is not jealousy, then it's...nah it's jealousy.
@KeggsBD The point im trying to get across is that she is only in that car because she is a woman, and there are other drivers that could be in that car that could do better. They are trying to win, there only trying to get more people to watch NASCAR. And by the best driver in NASCAR, i mean that she is talked about on TV like the best driver in NASCAR. And please tell me, im dying to know how many wins she has in total before Indy Car.
@MurphyMonster I have no Idea how many wins she had, not really a big fan of hers. Just originally said it was a great save which it was. The way she saved it was the same way anyone would. If it had been a guy, it would have still been a great save. We've gotten far away from the issue. Any business would exploit a hot women like N.A.S.C.A.R. and Indy does. That's American capitalism at work. You think they would rather put Martin's ugly old mug as the face of N.A.S.C.A.R.?
@MurphyMonster I agree with you that the coverage is unwarranted based on her performance. But, this is typical of advertising. She still paid her dues like everyone else. Also, these pro drivers are the best of the rich kids, not the best of the world because the sport is so expensive to get into. If racing was in public schools like Football & Basketball, you and I would probably be top drivers, discussing this over cocktails on our way to the next race.
I was glad DW was covering this race because I think he helped lots of people understand what an awesome job she actually did durring this...there are people out there that may have thought she just got lucky but that was all driver right there,,,awesome
@psi2hi No I really didn't, trust me. I know enough about race cars to know that if you lock up the brakes and turn away you're less likely to hit it. And any driver can do it, not just Danica. Be honest with me, what has she ever accomplished anywhere aside from her 1 fluke of an IRL win?
@F1V1 She is the only nascar driver I ever seen turn the wheel all the way to the left like that (being as sideways as she was). All other drivers I see panic and just turn into the slide (wheel to the right) and end up destroying their car. I'm not a fan of hers but she recovered when most wouldn't. I race cars for a living also.
Thats some crazy car control skills, i race stock cars and i do let off the steering wheel at that type of situations, im good but shes even better. No woder why shes top5 drivers of IndyCar Series.
@kseagirl This was ARCA. Not a part of Nascar at all. It's a bit like the third tier of Stock Cars. Danica only did this race as she'd never raced a stock car before and she's now races in the Nascar Nationwide Series. yle and co. mainly race in the Sprint Cup but often go in the Nationwide as well.
I was there just for Danica!!!! My first time at Daytona and WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!

@HitlerOnTheRoof, I don't think that's a fair comparison. If Anna had been the only female on the men's tour, then maybe. Anna Kournikova never won against people she was expected to beat and nowhere near her skill level. I don't think anybody would argue that Danica's skill level is greater than her comrades either in IndyCar or Nascar.

Those guys want stats? Danica hasn't had a DNF in the IndyCar Series in 36 races!!! That's OVER 2 years (last was March '09 at St. Pete) and it is an ALL-TIME RECORD!!! Has finished in the top 8 in 5 of the 6 Indy 500 races she has taken part in.
The drop in results came because of the Indy-NASCAR double-duty... Last year, she entered Indy 16th in the points (with an oval), now she's 11th (one to go until Indy). Also in NASCAR, she didn't have a top 30 by now last year, now she has 3 top 17!!!

She's ok - no reason to hate on her.
She's not world class, and probably never will be, but she's proving a point that some women can drive "competitively.
By the same token some 18 year old lads can drive "safely".
Both are rare - but they both happen. Live with it.

Funny. She can simply lose control of her car and let go of the steering wheel, and people will go crazy about how great a driver she is. But when i saw Ken Schrader weave around 5 spinning cars, driving underneath Stewarts car while he is airborne, and ultimately avoiding a 20 car pile, nobody really notices.

@xxCrazyEights88xx BTW, letting go of the steering wheel is not an accurate example of car control.
MurphyMonster 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster No but that Phil guy pointed out at the end that she didnt overcorrect because the steering weel went strait, and I didnt mean to seem like an asshole in my comment, I just wanted to point out that people were going too far with the luck thing.
xxCrazyEights88xx 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster Yes, it can be. If you've ever seen a rally race, you'll see that letting-go is used by every driver at some point. Because rally is about loss of traction sometimes, this technique is used to get the wheel back from O.L. as fast as possible. Notice, she lost traction, and used it. (meant to) I bet she didn't do this during the rest of her race. Because she meant to do it, and was successfull, it's goog car control. It's actually awesome car control, and you're jealous. wawa
KeggsBD 11 months ago
@KeggsBD Sorry, but this is NASCAR. And the the only Rally Driver i know in NASCAR wrecks all the time. Maybe if she studied stock-car driving techniques, she could get a top ten. And jealousy? Well, when i decide to become a slut and a tool to make money off of, then i think i would be jealous, because she sits upon that throne.
MurphyMonster 11 months ago
@KeggsBD And im not jealous. Im just pissed because someone like Schrader, Marlin, or Martin had to work their ass off for a win, or could just do something amazing with a racecar, but she doesnt even have to finish a race and is still the best driver in NASCAR.
MurphyMonster 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster Wow, here are the facts:She started in carts. (also winning championships) She moved to England at 10 yrs age to get into the next level cars. She raced For. Ford, For. Vauxhall, Barber Dodge, Toyota Atlantic. She races I.R.L. (finished seasons 10th 7th 6th and 5th - all top tens) She raced Rolex Series. She races N.A.S.C.A.R. (1 win) So, she's done everything all your favorite drivers have. Worked her ass off as you say. What's your problem there?
KeggsBD 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster And, certainly no-one has said she's the best driver in any series. She's an average driver at the top level. Which is still a good driver. I remember hearing that she was telling the younger I.R.L. drivers to get the speed up from 190 to over 200 through the corners at Indy. She said go against your instinct, it feels a bit shaky at 190 but sticks better at over 200. (downforce)
KeggsBD 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster That statement proves she's got bal*s, and c'mon you would never get to 200 through the corners at Indy without at least a small career in racing. No-one would. Seems like you could, but you really couldn't. You'd smush yourself on the wall just like all the other bitter armchair male ego drinking comment just to make a comment type folks. So, if it is not jealousy, then it's...nah it's jealousy.
KeggsBD 11 months ago
@KeggsBD The point im trying to get across is that she is only in that car because she is a woman, and there are other drivers that could be in that car that could do better. They are trying to win, there only trying to get more people to watch NASCAR. And by the best driver in NASCAR, i mean that she is talked about on TV like the best driver in NASCAR. And please tell me, im dying to know how many wins she has in total before Indy Car.
MurphyMonster 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster I have no Idea how many wins she had, not really a big fan of hers. Just originally said it was a great save which it was. The way she saved it was the same way anyone would. If it had been a guy, it would have still been a great save. We've gotten far away from the issue. Any business would exploit a hot women like N.A.S.C.A.R. and Indy does. That's American capitalism at work. You think they would rather put Martin's ugly old mug as the face of N.A.S.C.A.R.?
KeggsBD 11 months ago
@MurphyMonster I agree with you that the coverage is unwarranted based on her performance. But, this is typical of advertising. She still paid her dues like everyone else. Also, these pro drivers are the best of the rich kids, not the best of the world because the sport is so expensive to get into. If racing was in public schools like Football & Basketball, you and I would probably be top drivers, discussing this over cocktails on our way to the next race.

@psi2hi No I really didn't, trust me. I know enough about race cars to know that if you lock up the brakes and turn away you're less likely to hit it. And any driver can do it, not just Danica. Be honest with me, what has she ever accomplished anywhere aside from her 1 fluke of an IRL win?
F1V1 1 year ago
@F1V1 She is the only nascar driver I ever seen turn the wheel all the way to the left like that (being as sideways as she was). All other drivers I see panic and just turn into the slide (wheel to the right) and end up destroying their car. I'm not a fan of hers but she recovered when most wouldn't. I race cars for a living also.
