I wish her well and she should be able to run middle of the pack in many races at the Nationwide level...Sprint Cup? well, thats a different story and only time will tell if she ever makes it that far.

Certainly many of the open wheel drivers have had limited success in NASCAR Sprint Cup but Juan Pablo Montoya is leading the way and should be a threat for the cup next year, probably the next best is Sam Hornish Jr. who has been performing at a top 10 -15 level most of last year has just had a bit of bad luck being caught up in multiple crashes that took him out of races he was running very well in, I expect him to be running much better overall for the 2010 season.
