1. It’s a DEI story, especially if you consider $$$ invested comparatively.
   She should do a funny car insurance commercial. Ya know, accident forgivness, good driver discounts…

   1. Yeah but that was on NASCAR. She went along with it, to her detriment, because the $$$ was huge.

2. in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people?

3. It’s lucrative to be … the FIRST woman … something. Anything.

   And it really, really, helps if you’re easy on the eyes, and decidedly hetero … as opposed to a Brittany Greiner … who wanted to crash America … not race cars.

4. Tread lightly amigos…this is heresy.
   listened to her on Adam Corolla’s podcast many, many years ago – what caught my attention was when Adam asked her a fairly benign technical question about the engines in the Indy race cars…it wasn’t a gotcha question but simply something asked out of genuine curiousity. Along the lines of “How many cylinders” … in that vein.
   She answered “I honestly don’t know Adam, I just drive”

   Things that made me go Huh??

   1. She was spectacularly uninterested in what was under her, and probably set back many better female drivers who started when they were kids on the go cart circuit.

5. Under my breath I always wondered if she was a DEI hire but I don’t follow the sport enough to know and I did not want to be that person who is always questioning the obvious and having a jaded eye. But now I can come out of the closet so to say and know that she was placed there for a reason but did not belong. I just saw her on Rogan’s podcast and she comports herself with supreme confidence. But I guess that’s one of the tricks in that the incompetent are confident and the talented are always questioning their ability.

   1. She was a good Indy Car driver. NASCAR was much more ‘physical’ and it didn’t suit her ability.

6. Women drivers, amirite? 🙂

7. She’s fortunate. Some pay with their lives – Witness Navy pilot Kara Hultgreen. Fast tracked by the military to be the Navy’s first female pilot. On that journey for the title a lot of good men looked the other way or signed off when it came to her mistakes made during qualifications. Some were glaring.
   Unfortunately for her… trapping an F-14 on a carrier deck is arguably one of the most dangerous job in the world and a “perishable skill”.
   More than a few “white knights” have attempted to defend her honour by pointing out deficiencies on the F-14.
   Nah.

8. Tough as nails, provides good live race commentary,
   definitely knows what she’s talking about,
   supports auto racing, the people who enjoy it, and President Trump.

   Does not support commie stooges, DEI, or Tranny Tyranny,
   so F1 and their kulture want her gone.

   My kind of broad.

9. I think stock car racing may be one of the things men just do better than women. Suits me fine, I hate to drive! Anyway, yes, people wanted to get a pretty young woman into a racing car all the way back to 1950. Danica Patrick, in the 1990s, was the first one who ever made it into the big races. After forty-some years of trying…
