Danica Patrick Becomes First Woman To Win Daytona 500 Pole

by Joe Levine | 3:54 pm, February 17th, 2013

Danica Patrick made history today, winning the Daytona 500 pole and becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any Sprint Cup race.

None of her 37 fellow driver were able to take Patrick’s spot at the head of the pack, though Jeff Gordon came close as the only other driver to top 196 MPG in the race.

The Daytona 500 kicks off this NASCAR season next Sunday February 24th.
