Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. To go 1 for 180+ races in Indycar and to thusfar be shut out in NASCAR, especially considering the equipment and sponsorship she has enjoyed is not exactly overwhelming proof that she's an elite driver.

She's obviously a talented driver. However, she is also an over-hyped driver who has thusfar excelled at self-promotion.

You are entitled, but you aren't entitled to your own facts. How many NASCAR drivers have won an Indy car race? How many NASCAR drivers have never won a Winston/Nextel/Sprint Cup race?

Here is one;J. D. McDuffie held the record for grit and perserverance. In 29 seasons, he started 653 Grand National/Winston Cup races and never won, not even once. He died in a crash in 1991.
