Danica Patrick is 31 years old and has been involved in racing for a number of years. She is the darling of writers and TV pundits even though she's way over her head in the Sprint Cup Series. Thought I would keep track this season of Patrick's finishes. Also will compare her to a 21 year old rookie driving for the first time in Sprint Cup.

Race...................Danica Patrick....Kyle Larson
Daytona 500................40th...............38th
Phoenix.......................36th...............20th
Las Vegas....................21st...............19th
Bristol.........................18th...............10th
California.....................14th...............2nd
Martinsville..................32nd...............27th
Average To Date..........(26.8).............(19.3)

I have nothing against Patrick other than there are many, many more deserving young drivers who need a seat.

I think I could outrun Danica my first time out, especially with her equipment.

As for Larson, that kid is the real deal, and I would jut draft with him straight to the front!

They need to go ahead and give up on Danica. If they don't want to replace her with an up-and-coming male, then I know several young up-and-coming ladies that would make Danica lok worse than she is, if that's possible...

I hear you MM..........

Danica would have been better served to stay with the Indy type cars. She's 5 feet tall and weighs 100 pounds. To handle one of those big, heavy sprint cup cars, a driver needs strength and endurance. She's undersized and too weak to manhandle a big stock car for the entire race.

Congrats to Joey Logano (23 years old) for winning his fourth Sprint Cup race. Also, a shout out to Austin Dillon (21 years old) who is now 12th in the points race. Love this Larson kid...the boy can drive a race car.

The Danica experiment is simply about marketing and money. Until her popularity and the ability to market her begins to decline Stewart-Haas will keep her ride and smile all the way to the bank. I would think they will part ways at some point or move her back to Indy cars. She will be here at least this year and probably next as well.

cloverleaf · Apr 8, 2014

Of course you are right Mosi. Money sponsorship talks...especially in these times.

FatDaddy or whatever the name of her sponsor is will tire eventually of her never running up front. Notice she is not spotlighted as much this season as last year. She'll fade and end up back to Indy cars.

Southern 500..............22th......................8th
Season Average...........26.2.....................16.1

Another strong race by young Kyle Larson. Also, another young gun, Austin Dillion finished eleventh for an impressive run.

Congrats to Kevin Harvick for winning his first sprint cup race at Darlington. Harvick started on the pole and had the dominate car leading 239 of the 374 laps. Previously, he had only 6 top 10 finishes in 17 career Darlington races.

Matty, one driver I never seem to notice is Matt Kenseth but he always seems to post toward the front in races and standings.

Also, glad to see Ryan Newman having some good runs this season.

Coca Cola 600...............39th..................13th
Average finish...............26.0..................14.9

*Jimmy Johnson won his first race of the season while leading the most laps in the Coca-Cola 600. The win guarantees Johnson a spot in the Chase at the end of the season.

*Curt Busch's double attempt ended early when he blew an engine on lap 273 to finish 40th.

*Take's strength and stamina to drive a stock car 600 miles. In a private bet, I won $125 that Miss Danica would not finish in the top 29. Seem like a no brainer to me.
