Shawna Robinson is a Stock Driver who had some limited success at lower levels of the sport, she moved up to the ARCA series and had enough success to catch some rides in the Busch series. Despite the fact that she never showed any ability no move beyond the late model or ARCA series (her Busch results were dismal to put it kindly) she was put in a fulltime WINSTON CUP ride this season.

An omen to the team should have been the fact that got ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA sponsorship for the car.

Even with that they attempted to field a team with inferior equipment and an unqualified driver. Shawna flopped completely -- she qualified less than half the races she attempted, and the one she did qualify in she either wrecked, blew up or finished multiple laps down.

Can't remember the track, but one race she had no mechanical problems and was still lapped by the ENTIRE field within 15 laps.

She was finally canned about mid season --NASCAR veteran Kenny Schrader is now driving --and even with no sponsor and horribly outclassed equipment he has been able to run in the top 10 and 20 of many races (at least before the car blows up)

Her situation just like this of an underskilled driver in NASCAR will only result in their humiliation and or getting themselves hurt or killed and let me tell you the drivers really do point fingers at the unskilled Kamikaze drivers out there.
