The Gluckometer returns this week for the third update of the season – but the first-ever edition that includes Danica Patrick.
Since the Daytona 500 driver introductions were held in the rain and few people were in the stands at the time, I wasn't able to get a good reading in Patrick's other Sprint Cup Series start.
But with ideal conditions at Darlington – no wind, loud fans and no pyrotechnics to mess up the decibel meter – I got some very accurate numbers.
How did Danica stack up against the rest of the Cup drivers? Here are the Gluckometer results from Darlington (and here's the background on this):
