Danica Patrick says she's OK after being hit in the head by a rock Thursday night at a dirt track race.
Danica Patrick says she's fine after getting hit in the head by a rock on a dirt track.
Patrick got smacked by a stray rock while attending a race Thursday night, leaving her with a sore head. She had a brief conversation with medical staff Friday, but felt no problems.
Patrick says the rock hit her 'straight in the head,' and she's glad she had a hat on or 'there would have been blood.'
Patrick had one of the most significant crashes of her career last Sunday in Phoenix, slamming into a wall with about 100 laps left and leaving her with a stiff neck and a headache.
Patrick became the first woman to win a pole and lead green-flag laps at the Daytona 500 last month, finishing eighth..
As if a headache and sore neck following a hard crash in last week's Phoenix race wasn't bad enough for Danica Patrick, her night as a dirt track race fan could have been better.
Patrick, attending a race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway dirt track, took a rock to the head on Thursday night, she said Friday.
DANICA: Patrick in hard crash at Phoenix
'I feel like I have a concussion from last night,' she said, joking. 'It's really sore. It hit me straight in the head. Good thing I had a hat on, or I feel like there would have been blood.'
Patrick's boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., owns the Stenhouse Jr. Racing team and fields dirt cars. And team owner Tony Stewart also is a dirt track aficionado -- he races on them and owns Eldora Speedway.
Joe Crowley, who is part of Patrick's public relations team, said Patrick had a prescheduled meeting with NASCAR medical Friday to follow up on some paperwork from her Phoenix crash.
Since NASCAR had heard of the rock incident, they gave her a minor checkup and asked if she was OK.
As for Phoenix, where Patrick blew a tire, sending her car hard into the wall, the Sprint Cup Series rookie said she experienced a sore neck for the first time after a crash.
Patrick said she did not believe she had a concussion — 'I really felt fine,' she said — and was cleared by the medical staff.

Jeff Gordon's daughter, Ella, asked dad to step aside so she could get her photo snapped with the woman in neon green. NASCAR president Mike Helton swung by for a congratulatory handshake at her No. 10 Chevrolet. A tall man sporting a mullet and Dale Earnhardt Jr. garb nearly swooned while fans cheered when the Sprint Cup Series' woman of the hour doffed her white cap toward them in victory lane.
As perhaps the most omnipresent personality in her sport, Danica Patrick was in typically transcendent form Sunday at Daytona International Speedway.
But on this historic day at the World Center of Racing, the focus was all on her on-track performance — becoming the first woman in the 65-year history of NASCAR's premier series to capture the pole position.
Patrick wins Daytona 500 pole
And in this case, Patrick, 30, will be starting first in stock-car racing's signature event: next Sunday's Daytona 500.
'I've had the experience with mothers, fathers, daughters, sons listening to them say the reason why they're here as a family is because of me,' said Patrick, who turned a 196.434-mph lap to best Gordon for the top spot. 'It's also nice to hear families talk about that a little girl might say, 'But mommy, daddy, that's a girl out there.' Then they can have the conversation with their kid about you can do anything you want and being different doesn

Danica Patrick keeps making history.
Patrick, who has made headlines since Speedweeks began while fielding questions about her relationship with fellow Cup rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr., has made headlines again — for doing something on the track.
She became the first woman to win the pole position for the Daytona 500 — and a Sprint Cup event — on Sunday when the rookie posted a lap of 196.434 mph.
'Pride. I'm proud of all the hard work that goes into making a pole car,' Patrick said. 'I'm happy for them (the team). It was a fast Chevy. ... If you're anywhere but the front row, it's hard to see on race day. ... This just speaks volumes about Stewart-Haas Racing. I thought we were going to be 1-2-3 for a while.'
The previous best starting position for a female in the Daytona 500 was 18th by Janet Guthrie.
Guthrie also held the record for the top starting spot by a female in a Cup race. Guthrie qualified ninth in 1977 at Talladega Superspeedway and Bristol Motor Speedway. There have been only two previous poles for women in NASCAR history. Patrick, who won the Nationwide Series pole position at Daytona last year, and Shawna Robinson in a Nationwide race in Atlanta in 1994.
When she emerged from her car Sunday, she said: 'I've only done Cup qualifying here once before (last year) ... this has been very straightforward, very predictable and consistent,&

Good for Danica, but it isn't much more than publicity.

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
