They say that like it's a *bad* thing?
In all seriousness, I raced for a season at a local NASCAR dirt track. As a female racer I was warned about all the good ol' boys who would knock me around just cause they didn't want a lady out there. Well, there were a couple like that. But, most of those guys were just tickled to help me out and encourage me. I never had the kind of funding to race after that, but on the whole NASCAR was a fair organization.
What Jesse Jackson's saying is just more of his own brand of racist bull. I'm a long time NASCAR fan and I'm ashamed to have my sport involved with such a despicable character.
Dang, girl! You like to drive, too?
I'm VERY impressed with your credentials. ;o)
