The thing is with Patrick is that she was allowed to be around far too long, and that makes her look even worse. She shouldn't be memorable at all, but when you get almost 200 starts are fail to do ANYTHING with it, that's really awful. The odds alone would suggest that you'll lead some laps, get a top 5 or two every season, and maybe even be in position to luck into a win or two. But none of that ever really worked out for her. Most drivers would be out of a ride after two or three years with stats like hers, and would be forgotten, but she got to hang around so long that it put a bright spotlight on her ineptitude.

For my money, I think Rick Wilson is the worst driver I've ever seen. As a kid I dubbed him "Crash" because it seemed like he wrecked out every week.

Lets look at their stats:

Danica:

190 starts
Wins: 0
Top 5: 0
Top 10: 7
Laps Led: 64
Lead Lap Finishes: 73

Wilson:

206 Starts
Wins: 0
Top 5: 5
Top 10: 23
Laps Led: 216
Lead Lap Finishes: 22

Jesus Christ, even Rick Wilson has better stats than her. That's horrific.

Which is why I'm wondering why she's even bothering with Daytona and Indy unless she's still got enough ego to think she can win one of the two in a one-off. It seems like a publicity stunt crafted by somebody (Danica or PR handlers) who want one last moment in the spotlight.

I can't take seriously an argument that she's doing it for "fun" if that's what's issued with the "Let's just hope I don't wind up in the medical center..." interview she gave after the wreck at Homestead.

it's not just that she was around for so long, it's also that she was in championship-calibre equipment. a lot of the other drivers that are in contention for 'worst' generally did not drive for a team as successful as SHR, who were literally winning championships with other drivers while she was there. that far more than her number of starts amplifies her badness as far as i'm concerned.

Yes and no. I don't think anyone ever really expected her to compete for championships. A guy like Sam Hornish? Yea, you could have expected him to compete for championships, making his failure noteworthy. However, to your point, while her teammates were all competing and winning championships, she never showed any improvement. In top of the line equipment, she showed only the barest of improvement from her first season to her last. Hell, an obscene percentage of her career laps led were all in her first Daytona 500 I imagine. Literally her first race may have been her best. So, I more or less agree with you.

Yeah, Austin has a four year old, Stonewall Petty, who will be the nephew of Robert E Petty or whatever Kyle and his wife name their baby.
