Lucky Dog 4th

Sara's 5th and Danica's 4th

Sara Christian was in her early thirties when she began racing back in 1948. She ran a total of 8 races in her career, with the highest finish being a 5th at Pennsylvania's Heidelburg Speedway in 1949.

She also ran at Daytona Beach in 1953 and did an average of 101.03 mph on the measured mile.

It makes me wonder what Sara would do if she was racing today as a tweenty some year old.


Danica was in her early tweentys when she started in Indycar. She has ran a total of 120 races so far in her career, with the best finish being a win in Indycar at Motegi,Japan in 2008. Her fastest lap in an Indycar is a 229.8 mph.

Driving in the Nationwide race at LasVegas in 2011, she got a career high for that seires and a history making finish of 4th.

I also wonder where Danica would have finished if NASCAR didn't have the Lucky Dog rule.
