    I've never been a fan of Danica, but she did a great thing here. She made that teenage fan so very happy, and that means far more than whether I like her driver or not. Also, Gabrielle is right about Daytona: you don't feel the speed unless you're on the ragged edge. I drove one of those Richard Petty Driving Experience cars there ten years ago and 150 felt like a drive in the park, albeit a park with banked turns that appeared to go out the top left of the windscreen. But I'm just some schmoe running at 3/4 the speed the racers run. I have no doubt that if I didn't just crash the car outright, every one of those drivers would eat me alive by the end of the backstretch, even if I started on pole. I'm surprised that since Gabrielle is a driver herself that she didn't get to drive the car herself. Then again, maybe she did and it wasn't on the video...

    Is it complex regional pain syndrome? My daughter has, which is very rare, but my daughter has what we would consider a "rare" case if there is such a thing. Started at 10. Got diagnosed at 15 after being on 40 daily medications because they did not know what was wrong. My Maddie's has improved with age but this is a horrific ailment in which they operate on a pain scale of 1-50 . An amputation is considered a 40. CRPS is a 50.
