Tough girl?Not really.Drivers survive because of all the safety precautions and devices that surround them.That same hit 20yrs ago would've put her on a gurney and she'd be so sore she wouldn't be able to walk for a week.
Way too much is being made of her.All her years in Indy cars and she won one rain shortened race because she happened to be out front when it was called.Last year in the Nationwide series if she just finished a race it was national headlines.She's the female version of Dale Jr.,all hype but not much in the way of results.
Over many years its been proven that virtually anyone can win a restrictor plate race,Trevor Bayne and David Ragan are prime recent examples.Few drivers other than Dale Sr. and Jeff Gordon have shown actual true skill in winning restrictor plate races.But if she were to win the 500 her career and legacy would be made,I personally wouldn't mind seeing history made.
I'm curious as to why she would be your only reason to watch the race?You'll only see her at drivers intro and post race interview and she'll have no makeup on and she don't look so hot without the cake on.Other than the extreme rare possibility that she wins there's not much reason to watch unless you enjoy racing.
