I suppose you could drive at 200 mph with 35 cars around you?

That’s not the issue. The question is whether she got opportunities denied to others, solely due to her sex and looks. It is a “zero sum” game to get the top slots in racing, i.e., every time she gets a sponsored car someone else was being denied. We don’t know the names of the guys who were on the bubble (at least I don’t since I’m not a fan heh heh), but there were always guys being left out of NASCAR races who could also drive 200 mph with 35 cars around. SO if people resent Danica for getting money and opportunties that were not strictly “merit” based, that is quite reasonable. The question is not whether any of us is as good at racing as Danica, the question is was she better than every guy who was being excluded as she was chosen?
