In her second full season as a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver, Danica Patrick has made significant strides.

Among those who are paying attention?

Try Jimmie Johnson , the reigning and six-time Sprint Cup Series champion.

"She's been quick," said Johnson, speaking at a media event earlier this week at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "There's been Atlanta, Loudon last week, Chicago, (where) she's shown a lot of pace in really getting the car figured out. I can only imagine how difficult it is to come from an open-wheel car to a stock car. We've seen Dario (Franchitti), Juan (Pablo Montoya ), many try it, and it's not an easy transition, and she's doing a really nice job."

She is doing much better this year with the knockout qualifying so evidently her confidence is gaining momentum . You got to admit she is doing better on finishing too,even finishing ahead of many season pros.The 6th place finish at Atlanta was a plus so what about Dov er she actually likes the track so Sunday may be another milestone for her,unless Miles has other ideas for her hmmmmm.
