Danica Patrick crashes in NASCAR debut
Danica Patrick's NASCAR debut ended in a 12-car accident in the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway.Patrick was running in the middle of the pack when several cars wrecked in front of her just past the race's halfway point. She tried to duck low to avoid the spinning cars but was unable to dodge everything, slamming into the outside wall.
Her car then spun through the grass, but Patrick regained control and drove to the pits. Her crew pushed the car back to the garage with heavy damage to the front. She had been running outside the top 20 for most of the day until the accident.
Tony Stewart went on to win the race for the fifth time in six years.
"It's important to have realistic expectations," Patrick said. "There's going to be spikes in performance, I don't doubt that. But there's also going to be tough days. And today, I would say, was more of a tough day."
Patrick finished sixth in last week's ARCA event at Daytona, and felt comfortable enough to move her NASCAR debut up a week to the Nationwide season-opener.
The IndyCar star went into Saturday's start saying her main goals were finishing the race, staying out of trouble and learning as much as she can.
One out of three wasn't what she had in mind.
"I wish I would have run up there at the beginning and felt more comfortable, but I just didn't," Patrick said. "And that just proves how hard it is out here, and how much there is to learn and how good all these drivers really are."
Patrick's car is co-owned by Sprint Cup series star Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was involved in his own crash later in the race. Earnhardt said the fact that Patrick wasn't running near the front Saturday doesn't mean she can't be competitive in NASCAR right away.
"This is such a different kind of racing than she'll do the rest of the season," Earnhardt said. "I think that everybody should just take Daytona for what it is."
She's also scheduled to run the next two Nationwide races, at California and Las Vegas.

Story :
Manta Oyamada, a shrimpy, studious middle-school student from Tokyo, attempts a shortcut one night through the graveyard to get home after a late night of cram school. While travelling through it, he encounters Yoh Asakura and his "companions": a graveyard filled with ghosts. Yoh reveals himself to be a shaman, a medium between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Yoh also demonstrates Shamans' ability to unite with ghosts to achieve a shared goal. Over the first few chapters, Yoh and Manta become best friends while Yoh uses his shamanic abilities to help them out through various normal tasks.
The Shaman Fight is a battle held once every 500 years between competing shamans to choose a winner who will become the highly sought-after "Shaman King", one who is able to contact the Great Spirit (the spirit that every soul will eventually go back to). The winner gains the ability to reshape the world in any way they want. Anna Kyoyama, Yoh's fiancée, soon enters the picture and prescribes a brutal training regimen, in order to prepare Yoh for the tournament. Thus begins the plot that will lead Yoh on a journey that will lead him to befriend Ryu, Tao Ren, Horohoro, Faust VIII, Lyserg Diethel, and Joco.
During the Shaman Fight, Yoh encounters Hao Asakura, a strong shaman who wishes to eradicate humans and create a world for shamans. At the end of the shaman battles where the remaining teams consist of Yoh and his friends, the X-Laws, and Hao's team, the remaining teams decide to forfeit the tournament crowning Hao the title of Shaman King. As Hao is led away, they decide to attack Hao during the time he is merging with the great spirit which is in a deep slumber. To do so, Yoh and his friends must defeat the The Patch Tribe members who are obliged to serve under the new Shaman King.
Once defeating the ten Patch members, Hao is awakened as the Shaman King. He defeats Yoh and all his friends and absorbs their souls.[1] Inside the Great Spirit, Yoh, Ren, Horohoro, Lyserg, and Joco battle Hao with the five legendary spirits; The Spirit of Earth, the Spirit of Thunder, the Spirit of Rain, Spirit of Fire and the Spirit of Wind. When associates of Yoh and his friends begin appearing in the Great Spirit, it is revealed the Great Spirit granted Hao's wish so someone may bring back his mother's spirit. With Anna's help, Hao's mother is brought to the Great Spirit. Hao's mother tells him he must forgive the Humans for murdering her in order to be saved. Hao decides to postpone his plan to eradicate humans and to observe how Yoh and his friends will change the world.
Seven years later, Hana Asakura awaits at a station for the five legendary warriors and his parents, Yoh and Anna.

Taylor Swift, Beyonce rule the Grammy Awards
It's been a year of "Fearless" and fairytales for Taylor Swift.The 20-year-old country cutie _ who has been on a winning streak for months with her hit album, "Fearless" _ won four Grammy Awards Sunday, including the night's top prize, album of the year.
"I did not see it coming tonight," she told reporters after the show. "This was a beautiful, beautiful surprise."
Earlier in the evening, Swift performed her song, "Today Was a Fairytale," which apparently became more and more true as the night went on. She also sang with one of her heroes, Stevie Nicks, on a mash-up that mixed Nicks' hit "Rhiannon" with Swift's award-winning "You Belong With Me."
Swift swiped the night's biggest prize, but Beyonce was the biggest winner. The multihyphenate entertainer made Grammy history as she collected six awards, the most won by a female artist in one night.
The 28-year-old diva won song of the year for her anthem "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), a trophy she shared with three fellow writers. "Single Ladies" also won prizes for best female R&B vocal and best R&B song.
Her song "At Last" was named best traditional R&B vocal performance and "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" won best R&B contemporary album.
"This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammys," Beyonce said after winning best female pop vocal for "Halo." She also thanked her family and her husband, Jay-Z.
Swift said she was excited to find a place for her four awards, which included best country song and best female country vocal for "White Horse" and best country album for "Fearless."
Another country act to take a top award was the Zac Brown Band, which won best new artist.
Nashville rockers Kings of Leon celebrated throughout the night as the family band snapped up three trophies, including record of the year.
"I'm not going to lie, we're all a little drunk," said lead singer Caleb Followill. "But we're happy drunks."
Lady Gaga won two Grammys during the pre-telecast ceremony but didn't get to strut her headline-making outfits on stage during the prime-time show. She still showed her musical prowess, opening the program with her Grammy-nominated hit "Poker Face" before joining Elton John on a duet that melded her song "Speechless" with his classic "Your Song" in a performance that featured dueling pianos and glitter-painted faces.
Performances dominated the nearly three-and-a-half hour telecast. Usher, Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood shared the stage during a tribute to Michael Jackson that also featured 3-D footage created for the comeback concerts Jackson was planning when he died.
Jackson's young children, Prince and Paris, accepted a lifetime achievement award for their late father.
"Through all his songs his message was simple, love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world," Prince said.
Haiti was also on the minds of many Grammy revelers, who wore red cross buttons in support of the devastated nation. Mary J. Blige joined Andrea Bocelli in a rousing rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water," which was not only designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the song's big Grammy wins, but to raise money for the people of Haiti. The performance, introduced by Haitian native Wyclef Jean, will be available via iTunes.com/target, with the funds going to earthquake relief.
Other standouts on stage included P!nk, who performed "Glitter in the Air" while dangling from the Staples Center ceiling on swaths of silk fabric, and the Black Eyed Peas, which were joined by dancers dressed as stereo speakers when they performed two songs from their Grammy-nominated album, "The E.N.D."
The Peas won three trophies, including best pop performance by a group for "I Gotta Feeling."
For Swift, the main feeling Sunday was elation.
"I just hope that you know how much this means to me ... that we get to take this back to Nashville," she said as she accepted the best-album honor. "Oh my God, our families are freaking out in their living rooms. My dad and my little brother are losing their minds in the living room right now."
