Yeah, it is. We've had a couple of women in Nationwide (actually in Busch series) in recent years, but they both retired from racing when they started having kids. Absolutely the right decision to make, but I would still love to see some more women in NASCAR sometime.
Guess it was a real learning experience for Danica. She has lots to learn if she is going to make it. Would be so nice to see a woman racing up there with the leaders but think its gonna be a while.
I don't particularly like Danica, mostly because she really is a bit of a crybaby and also because she tends to act like the world of auto racing owes her soemthing just for being a pretty girl. That being said, I do hope that she does well. She's a very talented racer and I'd love to see some women in the upper ranks of NASCAR again.
The phrase "women and other minorities" always pisses me off because we are NOT a minority of the people on this earth or in this country. We're actually the majority by a very slight margin. But NASCAR is one of the places where the phrase really is true, and I'd love to see more women competing in the truck series and in Nationwide and Cup.
I am headed shortly to watch the Nationwide race. Hoping that Danica has a good race. Would you like to see her win. Not me really in her first race but have a really good one.
