Lol. Her car has the been the best car out there for practice. It's not hard to drive the fastest car to pole. Put any driver in her car and they have the pole. Now actually driving with others and seeing if her car is legal is another story. Pole may be the most the overrated thing in sports.

Depends on the track.

Plate tracks are all about the car. Road courses are mostly the driver. The intermediate and short tracks fall somewhere in between.

At a place like Daytona or Talladega, it is overrated. While you can go straight from the front to the back in a half a lap at any race track, at these two you can go right back to the front in another half a lap....you go to the back in a place like martinsville or Dover or Bristol, you statistically have a better chance of wrecking than going from 1st to 35th and back to 1st...you never see it happen...
