Daytona Beach, Florida. Gone are the days when Danica could run and hide. Now the Roscoe, Illinois native moves where everything she does will be scrutinized heavily. One wrong move, and we could be looking at controversy right away. The fiery Patrick has been known for a short fuse in the IRL. Now, she must grow up and quit being a little girl. NASCAR is not for little girls in a male dominated sport. Danica stands alone representing Stewart Haas in Nationwide racing. As far as the Cup series, I think Danica will have growing pains. She is not going to be the next Johnson right away. Do I think Danica will get there? Yes, I do, but it will take time. The first big test will come at Charlotte Motor Speedway, when she runs NASCAR’s longest test of the year. Patrick is used to running in the daytime at the yard of bricks for the Indianapolis 500. Now, Danica will have to endure a hot summer afternoon and will have to run 100 miles more than she used to. You can follow Danica from Daytona to Homestead/Miami right here on your home for flag to flag NASCAR coverage, jeremiahboyce.com.
