The Andretti-Green team probably affords her the best chance she's ever had to win a race. Really, she's in a bit of a no-win situation (pun unintended); if she wins a race, the cynics will say there is no competition in the IRL and if she doesn't, they will say she can't drive a racecar. She seems to be held to a higher standard than male drivers.
A lot of the answers you see here (in Yahoo Answers) are just mindless drivel, based on nothing more than emotion.

I think Danika will get a win this season. AGR races like a team, and if Danika gets a chance to be up front, then Tony and Marco will help her to run to the flag. They will race for the win too, but if it's evident they can't (say due to pit sequence, mechanical issues, or just plain old speed), then they will toe the Andretti line and do whatever they can within the rules to help her get a win. Also, it seems AGR is about the best there is at spreading the wealth with wins. She's a good race car driver as it is, finishing generally in the top 5 or 10. With a better team effort, I think she will see better results.

Danika will definitely be more competive this year. She has more team mates to draft with in which will take her to the front of the pack and at the end she will be in contention to win the race. The Andretti cars are so competitive and the engines are reliable and strong. I say she will win at least 3 races when the season starts

ZERO - if Marco has anything to do with it. Will Michael actually let Danica Win if Marco has a chance to also Win? The old saying "blood is thicker than water". I'd like to see Danica and Katherine Legge in the same series. NOW that would be interesting!

Danika is "Marketing Dream" for a racing team. Her presence will bring in more dollars and more sponsores. But unfortunately, it will not bring in more wins. That will be left for Marco - and now it seems Michael.

She will win eventually. Tony George will make sure of that ! Plus their isnt as much talent in that league, hence 21 drivers! A little easier than competing against 43 and 9 others that didnt make the race.

I think she will win a race this year. She does need to be a little more aggressive though. This team will give her what she needs to succeed.

Slightly better. She doesn't impress me as an aggressive enough driver to win at that level. Maybe as she gets a few more years under her belt she'll start to win.

i think she has about 50/50 chance or more she has already proved she can lead a race and finish 4th

she couldn't win with rahal which, despite the results, is a very good team. She needs to focus more on driving and less on publicity.
