Getting your player ready...
Danica Patrick’s preparation for her NASCAR debut in today’s Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway is a little like a football player getting ready for a big game. She’s studying film and getting coached up. Patrick watched replays of last year’s race, noting trends and tendencies. Based on what she has seen, her car could be even more of a handful in the race than it was in practice. “I watched the first bit of the race (Thursday) morning,” Patrick said. “I’m in the garage telling the guys, ‘Everyone went loose last year, everyone went loose last year. Please, I’m already loose!’ ”
