Anything I type in is subject to change cause I might misread something.
NOTE I AM ONLY LOOKING AT NATIONWIDE EVENTS. SPRINT CUP DOES NOT COUNT (she is not driving the Sega car there).
NOTE: The race is over. Hit the jump if you want to read the entire weekend as it unfolded.
Friday, 2 pm on SPEED, Practice 1:
* Danica was 11th at Texas last year.
* Danica's best speed: 176.997 mph, 30.5ish second lap, was 10th best speed out of 39 cars.
* Ricky Stenhouse Jr with the fastest time right now.
* Joey Logano is driving the GameStop car with the NASCAR the Game: Inside Line on the hood (good, not Forza or NFS). He is currently 6th.
* Danica: "Car is tight"
* Danica's fastest time falls to 12th place out of 44 cars. She's in the garage for the rest of this practice session.
* Pics taken from the FirstRow Sports stream. Watch out, site has awful popups that make me want to punch a baby.
Friday, 6 pm on SPEED, Practice 2:
* Halfway, Danica is 17th fastest (out of 46 cars) at 175.126 mph. That is a bad dropoff.
* Ricky's fastest time is 180.006 mph. Danica has her work cut out for her if she wants to win!!!
* SPEED CHANNEL, SHUT UP ABOUT JIMMIE JOHNSON AND TALK ABOUT DANICA!!!
* 30 minutes left, no improvements by Danica. Haven't seen her car so she must be in the garage.
* Danica dropped to 19th place in speed! No changes in speed, it's as if she went AWOL.
* Practice is boring, here's a damn commercial which is pretty funny, haha. AiAi got jacked up.
* Look I posted on Danica's Facebook!!!
DAMAIT I JUST GAVE AWAY MY FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT
OOPS I POSTED AGAIN!!!
* Awesome pic from Danica's Facebook. Ok, I'm done spamming her account. I'm also done hearing about Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. You're not in the SEGA car, YOU SUCK.
* Sad that the 100 or so comments I read on Danica's FB, no one mentioned Sega.
* WOW, DANICA has slingshot into 4th in speed with a minute left in practice!! 179.886 mph!! Stupid Speed Channel didn't cover this!!
* But Kyle Busch is currently fastest with 183ish mph. PLEASE BLOW UP, KYLE!!!!
Saturday, 4 pm on SPEED, Qualifying:
* I'm back!! Nationwide Qualifying has started NOW!!!
* In the Sprint Cup Practice, Danica had the 35th fastest time (out of 43). That's the #10 green Go Daddy car, that doesn't matter, but let's hope Danica's Nationwide SEGA car fares better.
* Juan Carlos Blum is driving the white #41 car. Too bad it's not the Hornet so I don't care, lol.
* Will probably take a while for Danica to qualify. Slowest cars during practice qualify first.
* Eric McClure's #14 Hefty car is pink. Um, Breast Cancer Awareness was last month. November is SEGA ALL-STARS RACING MONTH!!
* Austin Dillon with the cowboy hat. I'm really tired of these other drivers. I hope they all lose and DANICA WINS!!!
* Joey Logano currently fastest out of 39 drivers with 180.0xx mph. It's close but Danica could qualify with a Top 10. Joey talking about NASCAR The Game, STFU Joey.
* Joey was fastest, now Elliot Sadler is with 182.xxx mph. DAMN that sucks.
* I'm wearing my Sonic hat and waving my Daytona checkered flag in anxious anticipation...Danica is coming up!!!
* DANICA IS UP!!!!!!!
* "DANICA IS BRINGING...THE HEAT?" - commentator
* "Car is as solid as Sonic the Hedgehog" - other commentator
* DANICA CURRENTLY 4TH PLACE WITH ONLY A COUPLE OF DRIVERS TO GO!!!!
* Danica is 8th with 180.084 mph. Cause of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Cole Whitt, Austin Dillon, and Kyle Busch (who qualified after Danica). THESE GUYS ARE ENEMIES OF SEGA. THEY ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE GAMING PINHEADS WHO DUMP ON SEGA ON A DAILY BASIS. I WILL PUT UP PICTURES OF EACH AND EVERY DRIVER THAT QUALIFIES AHEAD OF DANICA AND WILL WISH FOR THEIR SWIFT DEFEAT.
* Kevin Harvick, Austin Dillon, Cole Whitt, Elliott Sadler, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Denny Hamlin (might as well throw him in there). PLEASE BLOW UP!!!!! (oh boy, Google Image Searches will be fun now).
* Race is 30 minutes away and on Speed, I finally saw the Danica Sega All-Stars Racing commercial posted earlier. About time, Sega.
Saturday, 7 pm on ESPN, THE BIG RACE:
* Here we go. 7 pm is here. And this intro is all about Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. and Elliott Sadler, two people I don't care about.
* I wanted to say a prayer before the race. If you're not a Christian, well please don't give me any grief about it. They pray before NASCAR races anyway so if this bothers you then STFU.
Dear God. I know that it is foolish to pray for the outcome of a sporting event. But this will probably be the last time that Sega ever sees the NASCAR track ever again. I pray that Danica does her very best. Whether or not she wins, I pray that it is beneficial to Sega. Because even though Sega may have made a mistake going with Danica, I seriously hope things work out for unknown reasons we could never foresee. Pray for the Sega fans and for more colorful racing games from Heaven. I also pray no one is hurt and please help the victims of Hurricane Sandy. And ultimately, I pray the events that unfold tonight bring honor to the Lord. Amen.
* Saw a brief promo of Danica and Sonic giving stuff to the kids.
* Invocation and National Anthem.
* COME ON DANICA, HERE'S SOME MUSIC TO GET YOU AMPED:
* "This commercial break brought to you by...Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed! It's not racing, it's racing transformed!"
* "DRIVERS, START YOUR ENGINES!!!!!"
* Stupid Red Dawn commercial: "For them, this is just some race. But for us, this is OUR VIDEO GAME COMPANY!!!!! SEGA!!!!!"
* Cars following the pace car. I have Daytona USA on Attract Mode the Xbox 360 right now. Oh God I am so nervous.
* Here we go, 200 LAPS TO RACE!!
* GREEN FLAG IS OUT!!!!!! AND THEY'RE UNDER WAY!!!!!!
* 5 laps in, Danica is 9th and was passed by Denny Hamlin. 4 seconds behind the leader.
* 10 laps in, Danica still in 9th. 6 seconds behind leader. NOT GOOD
* Commercial break. All this Kyle Busch pimpage makes me want to puke.

* "Nice job with the changes Ryan...this car is hooked up" - DANICA over radio.
* On RaceBuddy, Danica's front cam broke. You're looking out the back cam now. "Shots of the race leaders," haha real funny.

* Danica cursed twice already (of what I recall thus far).
* Danica made a good save earlier. MEGA PROPS, she nearly lost a tire. Lap 137, other drivers making green flag pit stops. Here's a picture of the tire.
* Lap 139, "It's already a bit tight so I'm trying to take care of it" - Danica over radio.
* Lap 147, Danica is up to....FOURTH??? OH LUCKY US!!!! But no, Danica is 10 laps short of fuel (said so over the radio). She's going to have to pit one more time. NAIL BITER...
* Lap 150, Danica could use a yellow flag before the end of the race or she'll fall a lap behind!
* Lap 154, #52 car spins out, 4th CAUTION out!!! "Car is tight" - Danica says again. "My balance is so tight I could lose position" - Danica again.

* Lap 162, Danica in 13th. Still hanging close with the other cars.
* Lap 167, Danica in 14th. Not really going anywhere at the moment trying to hold off other cars.

* Lap 175, 5th Caution out!!! #87 Joe Nemecheck hits the wall. Danica complaining about the car. Will she pit? No, she stays out!!!
