Found it. Hope this works.

If not, at least you've got the place to go!

39th, back with Robert Richardson Jr and Chase Mattioli (who?). Last year Richardson finished 41st in points and is currently 28th with a lower average finish than last year, which shows the field this year isn't nearly as deep with more start and parks and people just "cruising" for a living. His average start is 37th compared to Danica's 28.8. Yet his average finish is 28.6, which is better than Danica's 28.8. Heck, even Eric McClure has a better finishing average than Danica and he hasn't even been able to qualify for some races.

It is rather odd to see a driver after 12 races to have an average finish exactly the same as the average start, especially considering the number of start and parks and normal attrition. That is the definition of underwhelming.

This novelty act is a failure

Is this interview as TFS to anyone else as it is to me? She is CLUELESS.

Not bother with getting her HANS device to fit properly??? It could save her life, and it's not important to her???

Chase Mattioli is the grandson of Joseph Mattioli, owner of Pocono Raceway.

He viewed each of his known drivers. On Danica, he said that she just can't seem to get up to speed at any track in the first practice, and by the time she's comfortable, everyone else has a practice worth of at-speed, and she has a hard time catching up. Well, duh!! Newsflash -any one of us could have told him that! I will work very hard to try to find that link. I thought it might have been in my Racer e-mails, but no. When I find it, I'll post the link.

Today's just another day of not getting up to speed. I fully anticipate more of the same tonight, and then at the end they'll put a qualy set-up with fresh tires on her car, and she'll do her one or two obligatory fast laps. And a few people here will comment that she's got it together and she really is good. Again. And then, more excuses!

So what does it say about you when your Indycar team owner basically says you're slow and a slow learner, meanwhile your Nationwide crew chief says the goal is not to finish multiple laps down?

Wow. She is foolish.

I knew that, but he isn't exactly a household name or someone who is going to contend for top 10's

I read the article. It is absolutely stunning that any driver could be THAT clueless. If she never looks out the rear view mirror, its no surprise that she gets run over on the track.

Beachgirl hit it yet again. A qualifying set up at the very end to get a reasonable practice time.
That proves zip except maybe to stroke her immense ego.
In the meantime young Cole Whitt is running near the front on a track he has never even seen and in his second time in a Nationwide car.
I really wish I could watch the race just to see how stupid she will look.

Just close your eyes and imagine it...you're not missing much.
