Ido not think so. She was a pretty big name before NASCAR, having been in Indy. I do not remember her doing those ads until after she was well into it.

She was a mediocre open wheel driver, just as much known for being the "woman racer" as for any success. Won one race due to a rainout.

I think she has the potential to be in the Jamie MacMurray or Greg Biffle class eventually, lead a few races every year, win one or two with some luck. But that's about it.

There are lots of other women racers who have as much talent as DP but don't have the top class ride because they lack the T&A factor.

And yeah, she's a lot better driver than I am or ever will be, OK? But then again, I know better than to ask Tony to let me drive one of his cars.
