What are your thoughts on????? NASCAR nascar?

Question

women drving in nascar?

my thought are that female nascar drivers is a good idea...but i think that women should have there own division. Ithink they might cry or somthing...or get mad at the male drivers or somthing dumb (and yes i am a girl this is why i think this!!) most people look at me funny and laugh when i say that :)

Answer 1

Yes there should be a different series just for women. If they get good enough they could join us men!

EDIT

I'm not sayin they can't race with the men!

"Duh" lol I couldn't help it!

PLZ READ AGAIN AFTER THE BEEP!

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

Answer 2

I'd say no on the different division. Let them race with the big boys. I would welcome that.

Answer 3

i like it but i dont love it

Answer 4

If they can run, let them in.  It would cost too much money and just be impractical to have a separate series for them.  I don't think there's enough women for one anyway.

Answer 5

it takes a strong woman to be in a man's world.

Answer 6

If you can, you can drive.  Let'em suit up.

Answer 7

I say let everyone race together!

Answer 8

The thing is with most women, is that when they try to do these things, it isn't for the love of the sport.  It is so they can break the barriers and be the first or better than any man out there.  The thing is, you cannot just go out there and do it for that, it takes also playing against your own self and sacrificing everything.

Much like Hillary Clinton in her primary run for President.  Women have such obscured views of the world and how the world is to treat them, that they think the game is supposed to change somehow for them.  Remember Hillary's daughter was going to campain for her, but then the press started asking her questions, so then Hillary's camp protested and said her daughter isn't to be asked any questions only be heard by the people and everyone is to shut up and listen to her...  Tackle football becomes flag football, baseball becomes softball.  Ok here goes, NASCAR becomes a merry go round.  Nah just kidding, NASCAR is already as close to horses on a stick as it gets now.  NASCAR is the WWF in sheet metal.  And yes, if Teresa Earnhardt wasn't sooooo old when Dale Sr. and Jr. Died, then she would be the new Queen of NASCAR by now....

Answer 9

all's I got to say is: "CHECK PLEASE!"

Answer 10

I respectfully  disagree if they can qualify let them race , ethnicity or gender should not matter. Besides I have two daughters and I would love for them to drive in Nascar !

Answer 11

Kelly Earnhart did this for awhile.  She wasn't all that good.  

No I think women could do OK and not cry... well then there IS the female "factor" Be wary of a woman with PMS and a car that goes 200 mph.  LOL

In seriousness...Look at Danica Patrick. She's very good.

Answer 12

I disagree.  Nascar shouldn't be gender specific.  They should be serious competitors though like Angelle Sampey, Ashley Force, Danica and my girl Hillary Will.

Answer 13

If women had their own racing division, it might not survive, like women's professional softball, soccer, and volleyball leagues.

Women can, and should, compete against the men.  There hasn't been a woman in NASCAR's top division since Shawna Robinson in the early 2000s, but I think they can do well.   NASCAR driver Mike Wallace's daughter just started racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck division.   Erin Crocker's attempt at developing into a Cup Series driver in the past 5 years has not worked out, in part because of her controversial relationship with her owner, Ray Evernham, but mostly, because she's got little talent.

NASCAR needs to go encourage and develop more women into drivers.  It will be good for the sport, the sponsors, and all young women who want to race.

Answer 14

i think women should race in nascar just like the men.

there should be NO difference.

i (a 15 year old girl) actually dream of racing in nascar someday.

& right now i'm getting a schedule worked out with Jon Hornish (sam hornish jr's brother!!) so i can start racing go karts for him.

& i know i'll get into nascar eventually & when i do..i wanna be raced like any other driver out there!

it shouldn't matter if it's a male or female. a driver is a driver. they both have the same passion for racing.

Answer 15

women relegated to their own division?

gloria steinem is rolling over in her grave right now - and she's not even dead yet!!!

i agree with tbone.  if they're good enough, let'em drive.  

plus, i love to see a woman in a firesuit...

;-)

Answer 16

All other major sports are gender specific. Why shouldn't racing be? Sometimes there's mixed gender Tennis matches, but that's about it.

I actually don't care if a woman wants to drive or not. If there are any that's good enough, then let them race. Just thought I'd point out that the other sports don't normally allow for mixed genders.

Answer 17

I don't think a separate series would be ethical, or legal, or fun.

If they can pass muster, let them drive with the men.

Equality right!!!!

Just sayin.........

Danica Patrick, Janet Guthrie, Shirley Muldowney, Hillary Will, Melanie Troxel, The Force Girls (beg your pardon, forgot their names), Karen Stoffer.....You get the idea.

They are doing something I can't do. I give them lot's of credit. And as I said before, BRING "EM ON!!!!

Answer 18

Danica is one of the most aggressive drivers in Indy, even out of the car. As long as she can drive the car, the car is not gender specific.
