Danica Patrick has won the Daytona 500 pole, becoming the first woman to secure the top spot for any race in NASCAR's top circuit.
It was the biggest achievement of her stock-car career.
'We have a lot more history to make and we're eager to do it,' Patrick said.
Patrick went out eighth in the qualifying session Sunday and covered the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway in 45.817 seconds, averaging 196.434 mph.
She waited about two hours as 37 fellow drivers tried to take her spot. Only four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon even came close to knocking her off.
'That's a huge accomplishment,' team owner and fellow driver Tony Stewart said. 'It's not like it's been 15 or 20 years she's been trying to do this. It's her second trip to Daytona here in a Cup car. She's made history in the sport. That's stuff that we're proud of being a part of with her. It's something she should have a huge amount of pride in.
'It's never been done. There's only one person that can be the first to do anything. Doesn't matter how many do it after you do, accomplish that same goal. The first one that does always has that little bit more significance to it because you were the first.'
Gordon was the only other driver who topped 196 mph in qualifying. He locked up the other guaranteed spot in next week's season-opening Daytona 500.
'It's great

Blazing a trail that was previously paved by such pioneers as Janet Guthrie and Shawna Robinson, Danica Patrick set a new standard when she became the first woman in NASCAR history to win a pole position for a Sprint Cup race.
But it wasn’t just any race.
Patrick, 30, of Roscoe, Ill., claimed the pole position for NASCAR’s biggest race, the season-opening Daytona 500, when she turned a fast lap of 196.434 miles per hour in her No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet fielded by Stewart-Haas Racing.
Patrick, a contender for Rookie of the Year honors, toured the high-banked, superspeedway at Daytona International Speedway in 45.817 seconds, tightly hugging the apron all away around the 2.5-mile tri-oval.
Asked what her overriding emotion was after accomplishing her historic feat, Patrick replied, “Pride. I’m proud of all the hard work that goes into making a pole car. It’s not just me turning laps, it’s so many other things. It’s all the attention to detail these guys put in over the winter. I can’t be more proud off them.'
Sharing the same Hendrick-developed power that put Patrick on the pole, Jeff Gordon earned a spot on the front row of the 43-car grid with his lap of 196.292 m.p.h.
'Congratulations to Danica, it's great to be a part of history,” Gordon said, before adding with a chuckle. 'At least, I can say I was the fastest guy today.'
