 Danica Patrick, who inspired young women to break into the male-dominated sport of motor racing, will make her final NASCAR start at Sunday's Daytona 500. "Not only is it the biggest (NASCAR) race of the year, it's wide open from a performance standpoint," Patrick told reporters this week at Daytona 500 media day. Patrick's start on Sunday, in what is known as the Great American Race, is the first half of what is being dubbed the "Danica Double" and will be followed by her final appearance in the Indianapolis 500 in May before retiring.
