Danica Patrick captured the pole during qualifying for Saturday’s DRIVE4COPD 300, the first woman to do so for a NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway. Any chance of her making history as the first woman to win, though, was destroyed on the 48th lap when she was bumped by teammate Cole Whitt and wrecked. Video of her crash — and her expletive-filled response — is after the jump.
And her response — or at least the PG version that aired on TV:
This is the second time in three days she’s wrecked at Daytona after crashing on the final lap of Thursday’s Gatorade Duel. She’s slated to start the Daytona 500 on Sunday from the No. 29 spot. After the last few days she’s had, simply finishing in one piece will be an accomplishment.
