NASCAR Busts: Danica Patrick (ft. David Land)

So this is a video that I've honestly been avoiding for a long time, but on the one year anniversary of this channel's first upload I decided, you know, I'm not going to avoid it anymore. I will do that. great this is by far the most requested Nascar bus video on this channel to date so here it is folks NASCAR fans Danica Patrick so let's get into it before we get into NASCAR first we have Getting into IndyCar, obviously, everyone knows she was absolutely horrible when it comes to NASCAR, but IndyCar is a very different story; In fact she was pretty good and I know a lot of you aren't going to admit it but that's the truth, don't believe me just listen to IndyCar expert David

like most.

Modern racing driver Danica Patrick's career began in karts. Her opportunity in cars would have to cross the pond in Formula Ford racing in Europe and Great Britain, but her big break would come in 2002, when she was hired to compete for Bobby Rahal's team in 1986. The 500 winner of Indianapolis, would compete for the team in the Barbara Dodge Pro Series, as well as the Toyota Atlantic Kart Championship in 2005, Rhea Hall decided she was ready for the big time and promoted her to the IRL IndyCar Series team along with her winning teammate of the Indianapolis 500. Rice and Vitor Meira Patrick would become an overnight sensation in that year's Indianapolis 500, dueling in the final 10 laps of the race with eventual winner Dan Wheldon and, although Patrick finished fourth in the race , instantly became the face of the series, as well as much of the marketing. and promotion of the series suddenly focused on it in 2007, Patrick would make the jump to Andretti Green Racing, which at the time was considered the best team in IndyCar racing and the following year he would finally fulfill his promise by winning his first race. and becoming the first woman to win a major single-seater race in Motegi, Japan;

However, this victory would go on to be his only one in an IndyCar competition as Patrick struggled to find success in the post-Champ Car merger Indy Racing League, which featured strong participation from drivers such as Willpower and Graham Rahal adding to this. that Patrick was the victim of a flirtation that affected many open-wheel drivers in this era of NASCAR racing fame and fortune. Her last full IndyCar season was 2011 and of course she may remember this year's Indianapolis 500 as her final open wheel race where she unfortunately ended up in the wall. That being said, there is no way Danica Patrick could logically be considered a failure in IndyCar;

She will never be remembered as one of the all-time great drivers in IndyCar racing, but she was a genuinely fast driver and a threat to win on a weekly basis for a couple of years and that's more than most people can say. who has gotten into one of these cars, unfortunately the same can't be said for her NASCAR career when Danica Patrick announced she would be doing so. The NASCAR Nationwide Series race was going to be part-time and wasn't for a full filler team, it was with arguably the best team in the entire Nationwide Junior Motorsports Series, which is owned by the most popular driver.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Despite not having any stock car racing experience, there was some optimism here, at least for me, that she would do quite well, which was quickly squandered. I thought she did a good job, but she had nowhere to go, I mean, yeah, yeah, she does. it turns down just a little bit but they go towards the corner so he has to do the rubber duck part or you can see them right there on the bobble race track that's where she was going and it looks like she was trying to beat him. the hit that has very high three and four probably not sure exactly what's going on and then BAM, there goes the tire that's pretty hard, little tail, yeah, in the last few laps it had been even higher and higher and Tyler It was probably going down at some other time.

So come on, that loads coming out of four, obviously, if it's blue, yeah, so we got in behind James Beuscher, it looks like maybe Carmichael and then we forced him into the seventh and then he made everything loose, let's see. what's going on here guys, got it, it was a tough help, well that's it, it's just the last lap of a race, you can see Mike Wallace kind of broke away, tried to block and get some air, he and Danica got together and So that just created a huge mess. I don't see any good racing cars that I had wrecked.

He got a whole area of ​​acrylic to see quickly trying to make that wide arc with the car a little too loose for that to happen, yeah, for them to do that. slight contact right there, she has some major partners, she would have three top ten combined in her two part-time seasons, usually, we are almost done with some of these bus series videos, but no, not this one when Ivan closed, so Danica Patrick. decided he would go full-time to the Nationwide Series in 2012 in addition to doing a part-time schedule in the Cup Series and, once again, there is what is a fill-in team with one of the best teams in the store, Hass, it just works.

Proving that having money and popularity can get you into any kind of Cup race doesn't mean you're going to do good things, yeah, look at the career these drivers are getting who are lined up for attention, says Dale Earnhardt Jr. right there and she's fine after a bad crash and the caution flag is out, I've seen a lot of tandem drafting, I've seen a lot of pack racing in a fight, every caution we've seen, at least the last couple, of all Either way, it was a draft that went wrong. Yes of course. There, Danica realized that she was hit very hard behind her in that part of the race, but she will also learn a lesson that if she had the opportunity to turn left and block him, it probably wouldn't have caused much damage. four tires just a little ding on the back let it could have been from Elliott a very three sticker Elliott Sadler gave me this little ding just this is what I was talking about see Danica right there take some damage but then see her fall Jimmy's Jimmy's cars towed but look at her here right between those two cars and if that wasn't bad enough then things started to get weird but you're mad at me how could I be mad at you?

I'm greedy I want to keep everything I can until the end. I hate having to keep the bike to tell you that I don't have another one. I thought you had a supply. Do not touch. I don't think they make contact. But he came closer. You know, you and me. I talked about this, the bottom card is flat, the kids are loose, this is something that happens all the time, this tire is very difficult to stay on this new track, she lost everything, yes France, we didn't do anything amazing, that That's it, now Michael Annett also fell.

There, Jeffrey Earnhardt, sciatica and more had a big move here in the beginning, but somehow it's said that he wasn't going to have that and just locked up the brakes, it seems like he had a lot of rear brake on the car. someone shoots and then here comes Danica BAM dropkick, sit down, it's like there's no serious damage, that's Kyle Kelly's 59 spinning contact with Danika here, oh yeah, yeah, it's really unfortunate because she had an amazing career, she was going to be on the lead lap at 435 lat Anika was running and I love the bottom, a part right there bro, the bottom there's no place for Brad to go, he scrapes the wall too, but it looks like he was able to follow Castle going for a slide, we had nothing or rules.

The number in a stock car race has learned how to wreck the record-less yourself Patrick turns into traffic and Richard Childress Racing comes to an end in Phoenix slides to the finish line as they crash behind him Jeff hits the wrench threads the needle as the tires hit the checkered flag I don't understand why they didn't make the yellow flag there for 2012 standings his twenty-two part-time stats in the Cup Series are literally zero across the board and with a finishing average of twenty-eight points three, so after having all those Hector races and his part-time stint in the Series Cup Series in 2012, Stewart-haas decided are you ready for the big time, let's move up to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

It looks like things might be looking up. She would win the pole at the 2013 Daytona 500 and be the first woman to lead. a lap in the Daytona 500 look carefully because we are never going to see this for the rest of the video what would soon come would be five years of I don't even know how to describe it sadness or ineptitude no I don't know, just take a look, she and her Stewart-Haas teammate Ryan Newman, both cars are pretty gutted now with right front tire issues, but Darrell noted earlier that it's almost as if the cars we drove were similar, obviously they both had the same thing.

The problems can be seen right here, just dead in the middle of turn four, the car just goes straight, it's underneath Kenny Schrader right here and Kenny really throws it down and Danica spins a car to stay away from the Schrader because he was so low. the race track how he was able to go, what a view looking back with a microphone, he said his car is consistent at both ends of the track, also taught through boss Tony Gibson, it's amazing how some cars move, but no one wants to move for me specifically, she's Annoying with David Gilli

in the 38 just a little, she caught the thing and then it shot up the hill into the wall and the reason there's so much damage is that it hit the right rear, the right front, right rear, yes, many walks with Danica, here's Daniel, oh.

He got there before she got there, yeah, I was getting him to say she got there and started turning, she didn't even turn to get to the corner, yeah, she turned right there, let's look at the data that could convert it. Wow, them. they just all got caught up in their dinner, yeah, they made some kind of erratic movement, the card jumped, oh no, a promoter, well, very similar to what happened to Kyle Busch in the first lap of practice yesterday tomorrow, although maybe he could have hit the side more than the front, but the car just came loose while trying to turn the corner, don't line up outside, quite a wide petal, looks like maybe Aric Amirola in the 43 got into the behind Reutimann, turning around, the boy hit Nair. here Wow you are right about jr. we see Carl Edwards at 99 Matt Kenseth at 20 Danika hadn't hit anything and then his back, yeah, he already started to think it was, I think it might have been 51 out of ten.

Annika just lets go, yeah, she lets go of a two over there and hits poor old Parker's side who was just minding his own business, yeah, before the 33 comes in, they're opening wide, now this is what happened, they call each other and Danica got the other one, so it's in. the wall Danica Patrick is going to come out of her pit stall Move her a little sideways whoops that's coming out of pit road which I make manageable the wall jumps right there towards you and it was minimal damage she was trying to get around as quickly as possible. and she just carried too much speed in that turn, it was turn five, she just went straight, sure what that problem was for her, there's another spectator passing by Jimmie Johnson, she got into Jeff Burton's 14 just a little, turn the steering wheel to stay.

Outside of that, the problem is that you only need a little storage space. You see Danica is in the middle of the three-wide ants in the Stuart Martin breaks, we still got into that, such a spicy shop, but yeah, we won't cut our love for her anymore. to continue, get them out, yeah, I see her back there and here comes Danny, I think Danny came out behind her, she didn't realize he had moved behind her, she started going left and he he was there and that tries to go up high and I think he had a push from behind, oh my God, I don't know how he missed there in the 42nd, just as good Brian Scott Danica Patrick and Bobby Labonte here comes Austin Dillon don't give me anything because you're loose , it's not You didn't lose anyone else, absolutely no one, you were loose going into the corner, so it happened twice the same person, the same person, guess what, I didn't hit her either time on the corner, on one wall we saw smoke coming out of her car, it's almost like she cut a tiresome caution on lap 135 to be in the top 20 to at least have a chance, but obviously hitting the wall will slow you down, you know, she came out second Maybe trying to find some speed and like we talked about the hill it's very difficult to do and then, you know, it came after the race and everyone was disappointed. 3 or 4 goes to accelerate, the car just pulls away from her, she has to chase it down the track, it ends with heavy contact on the outside of Newman's round.she goes, it didn't look like there was contact there, but she could have been attacked before by the way she turned around quickly here comes David, she has nowhere to go, she should wait for surgery, she goes down and the thirty-eight are They stop right in front of her and Now they are not going to stop, Danica's displeasure at Gilliland at the beginning of the race is not over.

The two brothers got together and Dad could try to pay him back and I pay him back, instead he probably got into the crowd and Pam got the worst of it. movement of the junk pile of these cars in the backstory, you see Danica in the ten, right there, she goes down the inside, that Court really has light wheels that lift off the ground without a roof. Wow, pushing back, God, that's the worst grass management right under there. kasey kahne looks like Casey was going to leave. Casey just threw him behind her and just miscalculated that he got into her right butt and turned her against the wall.

Hard impact, man, right on this straight, here, stop, she's got too much damage to get out of that car. Just don't think Paul realized she was in the pits so early he goes up in the air hard, man man I thought he was going to catch the safety fence there, I'm not believing it's okay kid, you put the window net down immediately out of frustration before the car Harvick Danica leaves the radio court she's afraid of making contact with the wall like that, you don't really know how strong her back is until she goes through something like this, but we don't want him and I know he doesn't want to be involved in an incident when he's in a vulnerable position right in the middle of the wall, but keep going straight Dannic had nowhere to go Jimmie.

Johnson turned and they piled up behind him we're chained 48 I mean the whole crowd there's a 10-shot race to go to the center doing open threes Anakin just had no idea what he was going to do that gets close and makes contact He was trying to pass, didn't your car's teeth come out in the air? 22 just let loose I think oh man what a trip, Danica Whitaker took a great walk into the water. Regis III just crashed there. He had nowhere to go I think he committed to the outside lane honey yeah Danika thanks for your hard work keep your chin up and hit the inside wall for Danika well that was one of those work situations the ones we talk about. oh, there were three, what you know is that Larson and Dale Earnhardt jr. yeah he forces it in Danica the tour and that's the caution flag she damn sure I didn't do it yeah sure Stenhouse thought I'd block him and hold him a little no you have so much control in your cars doing what packs are. doing, but I know that's what he thought was going to happen on the road at the racetrack in Danica Patrick in Dan Basham goes out for the seventh time today counted completely and now the smoke is so bad it looks like Danica is going to go out. that's good job spotter there to let her know there were no cars behind her contact Eliot crashed into the wall are you kidding me?

Danica Patrick Casey King in her five years of full-time Cup Series racing had seven top ten finishes in total Honestly, this is by far one of the saddest videos I've ever made. It's sad because if he had stayed in IndyCar, his career would have been much more respectable. He was very competitive during his time in IndyCar and that's a part of his career that no one really knows about. wants to talk about the only thing they really want to talk about is her struggles as a stock car driver, add this to the fact that she wasted her potential in IndyCar to make more money and gain more fame by racing horribly in NASCAR and it's a shame Danica Patrick could She's been a respectable driver in IndyCar, but she will always be known as the biggest bust in NASCAR history and once again, that will be enough for another video.

Thank you all very much for watching this. This is Blacklivesmatter. See you next time.
