This year I was able to go see a few of Danica’s races, including the Indy 500. It wasn’t a great season, but she got her first win. She recently had a chance to sit down and summarize her season and give thanks to her fans. You can read her full journal entry at www.danicaracing.com > News Desk > Journals.
“…First of all I want to thank all my fans for being so supportive, you guys and gals are GREAT! Yes I do hear you cheering!!”

FINALLY, we got our first win!!! I was more relieved than anything, no more of those “when are you going to win” questions!!! I always knew I would win an IRL race, I had been really close the first 3 years, and it was just a matter of time!!”

“…I can honestly say that this year was my most difficult, in terms of learning, and having to study my driving style, and my needs from a race car. I thought I learned alot last year, however this year was much harder. I know what you are thinking, and yes I did miss Dario. He is such a great race car driver and set up man, but most of all I missed him as a friend.”

“…I really have to thank my entire crew, Dave, Anton, Craig, Cory, Shawn, Kyle, Jess, Brian, Dan, Peter, Kevin, my engineer Martin. We got off to a rocky start, as we all got to know each other, we where all new from 2007 except Craig and Shawn, so getting to know all of them was another learning experience but a fun one. We all seemed to get along and have some fun with each other during the month of May, they are hard working and a great bunch of guys and I hope I get them all back. Our pit stops the where getting so fast the end of the year, and my confidence grew during the races knowing I could get a few easy passes during pit stops, Thanks guys!”

“…I will be sending another update later this week, you will see why on Wed. Sept 24th. Keep an eye out!!”
