Danica Patrick to Lose Her Starting Spot at Daytona?

They used to be called the Gatorade Duels. With a new sponsor (Budweiser) and a new car, today will tell us a lot about what we can expect Sunday. Will Danica stay in her starting spot? It's at stake today.The rules are, if you wreck and can't use the car you qualified in, you move to the back of the pack. That would mean if Danica tears her car up bad enough, they must go to the back up car and thus she would lose her Pole Position! According to her Crew Chief..

"You don't want to take the chance of wrecking the car," Gibson said. "Nobody does. But sometimes there's nothing you can do about it."

One thing is for sure, Danica has brought a lot of attention to a sport that has been struggling to build and keep their fan base. I am very excited for this weekend's events!!
