Danica finishes 22nd after starting 28th at Texas Motor Speedway.

After qualifying 28th for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge at the Texas Motor Speedway, Danica finishes 22nd. During the 12th lap, she got some right front damage from avoiding a crash. Danica pitted and got back into the field in 42nd spot. As the race progressed, her car seemed to be getting faster running really good lap times halfway into the race. Unfortunately due to the lap12 incident, she fell 2 laps back and really didn't have any chance to make them up.
