could get interesting
She’s 29? She better hurry up and pose for Playboy while she can.
Enough to cause the other drivers to start making right turns ...
She did a respectable job in the Nationwide series as a part-timer. She improved a great deal without a lot of seat time. I think she could be a threat to win with a season or two of full time driving in the Nationwide series. I think it would be good for the sport to have a woman in the series that’s competitive.
Baby you can drive my car!
Good. She had to pick either NASCAR or IndyCar, the cars are so different that she couldn’t progress further if she was splitting her time between the two.
She’s got the skills to succeed in NASCAR. I don’t know that she’ll ever be a strong Cup driver, but she’s acquitted herself fairly well running part-time in the Nationwide series, better than I thought she would to be honest. She’s got a big team behind her in JRM to give her good equipment, and the Danica Hyper Machine has died down somewhat while she’s been in Nationwide. Of course, the first time she makes the field in a Cup race, it’ll start up all over again.
