Danica Patrick sat down on the set of "The Dan Patrick
Show" on Tuesday to promote the start of the NASCAR
on NBC season (the show is simulcasted on NBCSN),
which embarks this Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway with the Coke Zero 400 Powered by
Coca-Cola (7:45 p.m. ET, NBC, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR
Radio).

And boy, did things get interesting.
The Stewart-Haas Racing driver touched on a variety
of subjects, talking about differentiating how her competitors act on the track versus in real life, who she'd

help win a race first: team owner Tony Stewart or
boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. -- hint: she's a good
employee -- and whether or not she can beat up Kasey
Kahne if the pair had an on-track issue.
"Oh, definitely (I could take Kasey Kahne in a fight),"
Patrick said. "There's a lot of them I could take, but
Kasey's definitely one of them. I should've probably
taken care of that at Fontana when he right-reared me
at 210 (mph), but I didn't. Instead he was a little scared
for a while. I didn't say a lot of hellos. I kind of wanted
to keep him right there."
