I am not at all demeaning her abilities or her deserving of this opportunity. More power to her, she must have something on the ball or her attractiveness wouldn't matter.

My deal with the whole NASCAR thing is that it is now more marketing than anyone else. Of course, drag racing is playing the same game, i.e. Gary Densham lost his sponsorship due to his age and the fact he was not a PR guys' dream. Because that is now the nature of NASCAR, she will fit right in with the rest of them.

I am not a NASCAR fan, and the above mentioned fact is one of the main reasons why. NHRA is not far behind. However, I do realize that you can't fight city hall, that is the way the game is played nowadays.

I just don't have to like it.
