I'm just so proud of her. I've been waiting for this day for a long time and she deserved it so much.
She had a great race strategy and with 20 to go, i knew Dixon, Kanaan, Wheldon, and Helio didn't have enough fuel to make it to the end.
It all went crazy when Ed Carpenter who had last pitted with Danica dived for the pits, i jumped up cause i knew the race was hers. Helio tried to make it to the end but just didn't have the fuel to be aggressive so she went by and three laps latter.......THE WIN!
BIG CONGRATS DANICA! DO IT AGAIN AT INDY.
This is such an important day in racing history.
To all the nay sayers.....I watched the race from start to finish and with those final laps coming Ed Carpenter was in a similar position but Danica was able to keep speed without being aggressive. She won the race and fully deserved it. Besides In Indy car racing as well as F1, fuel strategy plays as big of a roll as anything else.
