Danica tells press:

“I can’t deny that I really like driving the car. I can’t deny that it’s fun racing. I go back to my original reason for wanting to come race stock cars, and that’s because the racing looks fun. Now I know it is. I don’t doubt there are going to be hard days … where you just want to park it and you’re just saving your life every corner. All in all, these are really fun cars to drive, and I really like the racing.”

The next Nationwide series run is Fontana, then Las Vegas, and then Bristol over the next three weeks. Patrick had a great final practice run, reports NASCAR.

Patrick tells NASCAR her desire is just to finish Saturday.

“My goal purely is to finish. Just to finish the race and log 300 miles in practice.”

“It’s nice to go up the speed chart. They told me not to look at the speed chart [Wednesday] when I was 26th, because it doesn’t really matter. I’m not going to look at it [Thursday] when I’m fifth, because it doesn’t really matter.”

“This is a whole another ball of wax this weekend,” she said. “This car is not as easy to drive, there are a lot of really great drivers out there, really great teams out there, and everybody is running close. Everybody wants to make that next step up to Cup. So this is a very different situation for me.”
