With her second-place IndyCar finish at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday, Danica Patrick no longer looks horrible. In fact, she probably ran the best race of her career, her fuel-mileage win in Japan notwithstanding. Patrick makes her return to NASCAR on June 26 in the Nationwide race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. No doubt her return will pass without notice.
