…pretty amazing for a 23 year old rookie, and a huge step forward for women in racing. Love the whining from others about how she only weighs 100 pounds. Go work out guys, or put a Vietnamese guy on your team. If the “chick” can do a 228 mph qualifying run, I think you should just try to beat her instead of being.. well… PUSSIES about it.
Janet Guthrie must be damned proud of her. Wish they hadn’t run Janet out of the sport. I think I’m gonna get her autobiography that just came out. Always admired her.
I was watching when she took first place around the 9th (?) lap – I really wanted her to win! Letterman was so excited. He’s like a big kid when it comes to racing.

That was pretty cool. I thought she was going to win for a second there.

Maybe Robbie Gordon should try a combination of the south beach diet, dexatrim, and halving his intake of being an ass.

Especially since the officials I heard interviewed before the race were concerned that she wouldn’t be strong enough to make it, precisely because she was at a weight dis-advantage.
