After starting 17th for the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300 at Texas Motor Speedway, Danica makes a late charge to finish 8th. During a caution late in the race, crew chief Tony, Jr. made a great call to get her fresh tires and on the restart, worked her way up from 13th to finish 8th. So far, it's her best finish of the 2012 season.
During the last 4 laps, Danica was looking great slicing, dicing and splitting in-between slower cars. I was quite proud to see her go three-wide into turn 1 in the middle and push the #7 GoDaddy Chevy Impala to its limits. It was also good to see how much better her restarts have become watching this race. Apparently, the two week break was a very good chance for Danica to regroup and get aggressive.
