Danica Patrick Looks Good In Nationwide Practice
Crew chief Tony Eury Jr. was pleased with his rookie driver's first laps in a Nationwide car today. Patrick kept the car together and turned in the 26th best time of the day.
When questioned about her laps Eury responded She just soaks it up, man, She just asks question after question, and we just try to give her the answers."
Other drivers weren't quite so eager to give the newcomer high marks.
"I think it's a little too soon, personally," Jeff Gordon said. "But I probably would have made the same decision if I was in her position. And you've got to get that experience."
A few other drivers took to Twitter to poke fun at the media and fan attention Patrick is receiving.
Scott Speed posted a note on his feed saying that the media seems to consider Patrick the best driver since Dale Earnhardt Sr. and is "also related to Jesus."
Regan Smith said on his Twitter feed, "Maybe ESPN could cover Danica on ESPN2 and the other 50 plus cars on ESPN Classic."
