I have to agree with Zieke on one point. Trust me folks, Milka is not a good driver and will flounder in stocks. Head to head, Danica has her by a long eyelash. I am not DP fan by any means, but would like to see another pit wall cat fight (ie IRL Mid-Ohio).
While the talent pool amongst these two may not be much to write home about, the potential for ranting interviews may be worth the price of admission. Therefore, YES I will watch ARCA from Daytona….but come to think of it, I do each year anyway!

Big ratings? Not if cable companies keep moving Speed off the basic tiers.

Re # 10,
Aaaah, But I beg to disagree. Milka is not near the driver that Danica is. She merely has a big cash sponsor (her money) to get her a ride. If they both stay out of wrecks, Danica will kick Milka’s rear!!!

I’ve been watching and attending Nascar since my father took me to the 1976 Daytona 500. (for obvious reasons I became a huge R Petty fan during that race even though he lost )I always knew Daytona had an ARCA event. This will be the only one I have ever made a point of watching. Should prove to be interesting hope all drivers stay safe.

Yes! Absolutely! Lorraine and I will be watching the race. Daytona is a great track and the spectacle of the young drivers negotiating such a dynamic track will be interesting. We are not Danica Patrick fans because we have no use for her products. We see her as a spokesmodel first and a well-funded driver who has at best, marginal skills at the wheel.

Lorraine and I will be watching races on television ONLY this year (not attending any events) because we both lost our jobs this past year. Yep, tough year.

I worked 24 years at my business and Lorraine was 10 years at her place. It’s going to be very sad to miss the weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway later this month.

So yes, the TV is our only way to avoid the shakes.

Sure hope Milka is in a competitive car. She is a darkhorse for sure compared to Donica but just as good a driver. Here’s hoping she shows up Donica.

I’m curious about what Milka is driving. She practiced with Braun Racing yet I saw her entry lists another team. I guess the journalists are concerned only about Danica.

T.C. I have been a race fan for 60 years. The device has not been invented to measure my indifference to this ARCA race. It is all form and no substance. Mark it down…NOTHING longlasting will come from it.
