  • Daytona deal for Danica Patrick is a bad move

    Updated: 2012-02-01 04:04:38
    Danica Patrick is a good enough race driver that she should be able to qualify for the iconic Daytona 500 without being handled with kid gloves by new Sprint Cup employer Tony Stewart. It was announced Tuesday that Stewart made a deal with Tommy Baldwin, whose Tommy Baldwin Racing’s car No. 36 (now renumbered 10) driven by Dave Blaney finished 32ndd in points last season and is thus guaranteed a starting spot in the first five races of 2012, for Patrick to drive the car at Daytona. She doesn’t need the pampering. And if, in fact, she does, then she...

Stewart was having a less-than-stellar season in 2011 until one night in July when he drove in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series race at the dirt oval on the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford and won not only his first Outlaws feature but his first race of the year in any series....
