Danica Patrick’s first NASCAR race in four months was as ugly as it gets
Caught in the Catchfence™
The rest of the race was just a long practice session for Danica Patrick.
Welcome back to NASCAR, Danica. This is no easy task.
“It was a long day,” she said after the race. “It’s unfortunate, but I’m learning, and that’s the way it’s going to be.”
Danica Patrick’s day took a bad turn when Morgan Shepherd got into her on Lap 7 at New Hampshire.
Exciting it isn’t. Nothing to see here, folks. For fans who came to see what Patrick could do, it was a boring afternoon.
Patrick finished 30th on Saturday in the New England 200, five laps down to winner Kyle Busch.
“I feel bad for the people who came out to watch me,” Patrick said. “It can’t be fun to watch the person you’re cheering for go laps down early.”
She started 25th in the No. 7 Chevy after a decent qualifying effort, but not that it mattered. The best-known driver in the field tangled with the oldest driver in the race moments after it began.
