I am very Le Brock can't please that'd be joined -- kite by Lee Spencer for our weekly Danica Patrick update. -- driver Danica -- experienced the suddenly racing and new series with different cars and different tracks and different strategies. And she's been picking up knowledge every week but in your mind what specifically did you learn last week of the race at Fontana California.

Why I think what she learned -- how to make the most of the bat flying around the racetrack. Right now and an -- G a but re -- in her transition -- is -- cars what she needs alarm is. How to get along with other driver on race act while improving her lying I'm in the right rhythm. Finding little procedures Garnett on the racetrack. Whether that's hitting. You know hot hot comment that you stay in the eggs into their radios. Getting used to -- don't be telling her Mike -- IndyCar. And -- very you know it. Simple you want my car racing and I think she came a long way and were second in stopped our.

IRL testing taken place earlier this weekend the season starting unit. You think Danica will be able to focus fully on our NASCAR career this weekend at the race in Vegas.

I know -- shall be distracted but certainly when you listen to what. Other IndyCar drivers have said coming out of that league and trying to blend into NASCAR trying to make that transition into a very difficult. Transition so many open wheel -- and failed guys that are still here. Champ hornish Juan Pablo Montoya Sam hornish said. I only had all evening. Nationwide and not that important between IndyCar and NASCAR I think I would've been much further ahead in my progression in where I am right now. Juan Pablo Montoya and his bike to Danica wedge to like what -- you leader Dave with stock cars. Our -- you know stay in IndyCar but if you're gonna kind of stock car you have to jump into the deep and in Charlotte that's what she's doing when you look at -- problem and play -- or you operate. When he ran -- Bulls actually cut. When he ran well why can't any slip that week it lost its. He fell down three laps behind the rest of the field. It's certainly bad it's all part of the learning are associated with stock car but a guy like. Off on problem on quite a struggle in a race that you have to expect that -- again. What's a realistic goal for Danica this weekend Las Vegas. I talk to Tony. You're reaching here last week and when looking at California he but he would have been thrilled with the hot sitting anywhere close to act. On and you certainly it is going to be a rhythm cracked me. Even more so than on -- and I think that you know is she is a top. I I think it's going to be a big day are. She's learning things off the track not just on the actually typical IRL. Hornish is trying to build era or with our race team. And she's going to need them to really support her. When counting guys because they're not building up consistency there since she is looking back important between IndyCar and NASCAR. Once you get to the right where -- concentrating on one or the other. -- build relationships. And she'll build the consistency she's looking or. Just knowing what to expect out of the cars because it up now she's still very uncomfortable in a race car they're gonna have. Find a way and make her -- ball on new network deal that she Indy YouTube and then build on and each are going back and forth between Indy cars -- cup cars. It's going to be a very typical -- I Dale Earnhardt junior -- her how how car owner. And Barry patiently -- I think you know a lot of you or are showing a lot of patience are gonna get the time to get up speed and you know he's seen what transpire over the next.
