Danica Patrick has made history this past weekend. She became the first woman to win the 1st spot in any race in the top-division of NASCAR. The pole position will be at the Daytona 500; the first race of the year which is also considered the biggest race. She set the pace with a blistering lap time of 196 miles per hour. This is Patrick's first full year in the top-division of NASCAR. In her previous ten starts, she qualified no better than 23rd overall. Danica Patrick had raced in the open-wheel IndyCar series where she won a race. All of the other racers are taking Patrick serious this year. If the start of this season is an indicator, NASCAR should be ready for Danica Patrick.
