Patrick rolls into Richmond coming off career-best finish, looking for another big night

Published February 05, 2015

Danica Patrick found reason to celebrate following two unusually fast practices at Richmond International Raceway.

The three-quarters of a mile track has always been one of her worst, leaving her with a sense of dread for Saturday night's race. But Patrick is coming off a career-best finish of sixth last weekend at Atlanta. This race gives her a chance for consecutive strong finishes.

Patrick will start 13th, a solid qualifying spot that puts her in far better position than she's used to. She'll be running with the top cars and will be near the front of the pack and not in immediate danger of going a lap down.

Patrick has never finished higher than 29th at Richmond in three starts and was a career-worst 34th in May.
