DF is out another $10.
It looks like it may be a looooong season for the Brand.
The other girls are looking pretty good.
I know it is early.

She was by far the fastest girl and faster than most of the field

4 girls (women actually) in the field... that is actually pretty cool.

Way to go Danica - you got beat by a rookie girl! I think we"ll get to see Danica settle into into the comfortable slot of 3rd best female Indycar driver, 3rd prettiest driver!

Simona had a top 10 easy but some sort of mechanical problem that hasn't been brought up yet took her out of contention. She was in 2nd when the downpour came and had made her stop, was keep pace ahead of Dario. Somewhere in that downpour she lost power or drive on the main straight but they never noticed on TV...you could see the log jam with other drivers finally figuring out they could go around her on the yellow...happened again to her later in race...too bad she looked very very good.

What got Danica off a lap?

She spun 2x and stalled it in T1...don't misconstrue fast laps for much...thing is she isn't capable of any type of consistency. She was out to luch by comparison to her teammates once again, blocked all day long like it was F1 (put Power through the T1 run off early), with the long straights time was dependent upon trim level as you well know. Look at Rapha down there in 15th on the charts and he finished 4th. Tags was one of the quickest cars on track until Wheldon took him out. So I don't care if she set fast lap by 2 seconds, she stunk it up as usual and surely has numerous drivers PO'd at her again. With all the attrition, had she not screwed up so much, she was quick enought to run 12th to 15th based on where she was running on track. I think she was 9th with all the fast guys making their way back from the T1 incident...Dixon, Wilson, Briscoe, Power, Helio caught her group and passed on by.
