Daytona 500 2012: Danica Patrick Will Struggle in First Full NASCAR Season
Danica Patrick has a lot on her shoulders as she begins her first full NASCAR season at the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
In addition to making a name for herself as a woman in a male-dominated sport, she will also be tasked with an entirely different style of racing.
Sure, Patrick has three top-10 finishes in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, but she has yet to take on a NASCAR event as big as this.
It's only natural for a driver to struggle as a rookie at the Daytona 500. Asking anything else of Patrick headed into the big event is asking too much.
There is all kinds of electricity surrounding Patrick this year. As one of the most popular drivers in the IndyCar series throughout the years, she brings a lot of star power to NASCAR, even if some claim it's mostly off the track.
In my mind, Patrick will pull off some surprising finishes in 2012, but to say she's going to win a NASCAR race is a bit far-fetched. She'll be competing with the likes of Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards and defending champion Tony Stewart. Those drivers overwhelm most competitors in NASCAR, let alone Patrick, who will have to adjust to the style and level of the circuit along the way.
Some believe Patrick has her best chance of winning in 2012 at the Daytona 500. I disagree. I believe she's going to hit plenty of speed bumps in the early-going, as so many have in their first full seasons at NASCAR.
Given the hype that accompanies Patrick, I get the feeling that some will deem her a failure if she doesn't win a race this season. I don't look at it like that. I think if she progresses, getting some top-10 finishes along the way, it should be deemed a success.
But she will struggle.
To say she won't is to not give credit to the level of competition she is facing.
Video: Insane high school alley-oop
This would be 6'1" guard Gabe York out of Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, California. York has committed to the University of Arizona and when school starts in the fall, he'll be flying himself to campus.I'm not sure which is more impressive - the catch, the hang time or the finish. We'll take the easy way out and go with choice (d) all of the above.

Injury will hold out Koivu against Blues
ST. LOUIS -- The Minesota Wild will start a set of back-to-back games against the Blues on Saturday without captain Mikko Koivu, who did not make the trip to St. Louis.
Coach Mike Yeo said Saturday morning that Koivu is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury.
Since returning Feb. 9 from a shoulder injury that held him out almost a month, Koivu has centered the top line with Devin Setoguchi and Dany Heatley. Koivu, who missed a chance to play in his first All-Star Game while recovering from his last injury, has one goal and three assists in the four games since his return.
Koivus comeback has helped ignite Setoguchi, who had been slumping but has four goals and two assists in the past four games. With Koivu out, Setoguchi will start Saturday afternoons game against the Blues on a line with Matt Cullen and Cal Clutterbuck. Heatley will be reunited with Kyle Brodziak and Nick Johnson.
Yeo said he might also experiment with Setoguchi playing with Heatley and Brodziak at some point.

Video: LeBron makes young fan cry after crashing into him
Two young kids who were sitting in courtside seats got more than they bargained for on Sunday when LeBron James missed a block and was sent flying directly at them. To say the youngsters were rattled would be an understatement as tears ended up coming from both of their eyes. In good form, LeBron did apologize to them.
?I just asked them if they were OK,? James said. ?They were smiling. They had two lollipops in their hands. That?s always the cure.?
