So far Richard Petty is right.
Wasn’t her fault.
The Petty’s are not known for their intelligence. They suffer from that disease my father always accused me of, “engage brain before operating mouth”.
He needs to thank her because she is one of the major drawing cards for taxi-cab racing spectators. Even at that nascrap is still losing track spectators as well as viewers and many of the tracks are having financial close calls.
The cost of racing has gone thru the roof and sponsors keep getting harder and harder to get.
Besides, Petty should know there are realistically approx. 10 cars that can win on any given day. The other 33 are fillers to provide “sizzle”, Danica included. After all, who wants to watch a race with 10 cars in it?
