Can Danica Patrick Win the 2012 Daytona 500?

Every where I turn I see or hear another person asking this question: Can Danica Patrick win the Daytona 500?

I don't know. I don't think so. But this article from Sports Illustrated is a representative example of the sort of stories I keep reading.

And I bet we see a lot more like it before the green flag falls. ;)

Can she do it?

This is the question that I've been asked the most in recent weeks, both in conversations with NASCAR fans and on radio shows: Can Danica Patrick actually win the Daytona 500?

My answer: Absolutely. In fact, I think her best shot at taking a checkered flag in her 10 Cup races this year will be in the season opener at Daytona. There are four reasons.
