Danica Patrick's Last Ride

Danica Patrick is getting ready to race her final stock car race, the Daytona 500. She is slated to start in 28th place when the race kicks off. The #10 car was taken over by Aric Almirola after she retired last year, so she is back in a familiar number with a familiar sponsor for her final race. She'll be driving the #7 car with GoDaddy as her primary sponsor. I wonder if she will race hard and try for a good finish, or if she'll race conservatively and try to run the entirety of her last hurrah? I also wonder if there will be any on-track drama between her and former boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse Jr.?


This is a pretty bland-looking card, but it pictures Patrick in her familiar green GoDaddy suit. The card come from 2012 Press Pass Total Memorabilia, and features three different relic swatches, a bit of tire, a piece of firesuit, and a chunk of sheet metal. It is numbered # 68 / 99. The black color of the tire is pretty much expected, but it would be hard to find two swatches of the other materials that blend into the card design so well. It's too bad they couldn't find a piece of green fabric and maybe some sheet metal that wasn't the same silver as the card's background.

Danica Patrick 2012 Press Pass Total Memorabilia

Yesterday's Pennsylvania 400 at Pocono Raceway got delayed until today because of weather, and then the race today got cut short because of more weather. I don't have much to say about it other than that. Rookie driver Chris Buescher got the win after staying out long enough to take the lead after other cars made pit stops. Danica Patrick finished in 22nd place after starting in 26th, which is a better finish than her career average of 29.75 at the track but worse than her career start average of 23.9. I guess if I were going to do one or the other better than my average, I'd rather it be on the finishing end of things.


Today's card is a 2012 Press Pass Total Memorabilia Black & White parallel of Danica Patrick. I picked it up on eBay at some point in the last few months. It is serially-numbered # 84 / 99. We're only two days away from the official release of Panini's first NASCAR product, Prizm. I am looking forward to it and I will probably try to pick some up to see how well Panini does NASCAR.
