A Pioneer's hopes

                                                DANICA PATRICK. "She will go down as the best female NASCAR driver of all time!" THAT SHE WILL-Although her career ended this past May 5-27-18 with a crash was not a great ending I wanted to see for her.At the end of 2017 she announced she was done with racing and would do a finale Danica Double in 2018.One at Daytona 500 and the last at Indy 500.A place she began. CRITICS criticize her but she deserved a better finish.I feel she should enter one last race to end it right.To end it with that car driving through the finish line and not how it ended.Some might say she she just gave up.I don't buy that-for the fire that burned inside of her was so fun to watch that it made some of the male drivers nuts.Gave up?Don't think so.
