Danica finishes 35th after hitting the wall...doh!
Damn. I understand Danica has been known to have what I call "Cole Trickle Disease". Like the character from the Tom Cruise film Days of Thunder, Danica can definitely drive the wheels off a race car. But ask her on the radio what could possibly be hindering her progression on a technical level, and you'll get a "What?". All she knew was that there was a "strange vibration" with the car, but couldn't really explain to Tony Eury, Jr. what it could possibly be. Then BLAMO!...the front right tire explodes and she goes into the wall at turn 4. Considering how well she did the night before, it's a shame that the race that did matter would result into something like this. It's the kind of unfortunate season she is having in her first go into NASCAR. Fortunately though, Mark Martin was there to help explain a few things to her at the end. And that is knowledge you can't buy...
