Robbie Gordon of NASCAR Will Not Drive IRL Races Against Danica Patrick, Citing Weight Advantage

Robbie Gordon of NASCAR started the discussion, saying that he wouldn't drive in the Indy Car Racing League series until they do something about Danica Patrick's weight 'advantage.'

'The lighter the car, the faster it goes,' Gordon said. 'Do the math. Put her in the car at her weight, then put me or Tony Stewart in the car at 200 pounds and our cars are at least 100 pounds heavier.'

'I wont race against her until the IRL does something to take that advantage away.'

I glanced at the weight of the weight of the drivers in the Indy Car Series. They are pretty much smallish guys --between 140 and 155 lbs.

He seems to be willing to race against guys who are about 60 pounds less and had no problem with it before.

You can not do that. Pit stops are part of the game.

Dress like a slut....get called a slut.

Have a great day!

[yellowdoghunter]

I bet Danica is far better looking than you are. I bet you are jealous.

Wrong on both accounts. Nice try though. Have a great day!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

That is sour grapes as well. :] It was a fantastic race! Indy always is!

[Howlin]

Ha!

[Howlin]

She was a class act -- and I don't know a thing about Indy racing!

Answer my question. Are women at the beach that wear bikinis, sluts?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Hehe! Miss behave! I have been to the 500 speedway almost every year of my life and I have been going to the race since I was 8 or 9 (minus four years here or there). Danica rocked the crowed like I do not remember when.And not because she is a girl.

You aren't the only one complaining and whining about her. Some of the others are male. :)

Sure are a lot of Robby Gordon's out there!

[Howlin]

I am not a big fan of Indy, but just because of the interview I saw, I'll watch her when she races again.

[Howlin]

I see the Prude Patrol is out in force today.

[ET(end tyranny)]

..and she was nothing but humbleand gracious, post-race, even given her awesome finish.

You aren't the only one complaining and whining about her. Some of the others are male. :)

LOL! :)

He pulled an even bigget stunt in the race Sunday. Not too bright of the kid.

[yellowdoghunter]

Alert! Alert!

Speaking of the devil.....:)

[yellowdoghunter]

Alert! Alert!

Speaking of the devil..... :)

Yeah, have great day as you call people that you don't even know sluts. *rolling eyes*

Which you proves you think like a jealous woman.

[El Gran Salseron]

All of those glamour shots are deceiving. Without makeup she looks very plain. Not pretty at all.....just plain.....average. Big, square jawbone makes her look masculine.

I've been reading your posts, including the one where you say you are a woman. Well, I'm a woman too, and even though I do not come close to having the looks of Ms. Patrick, I see nothing wrong with the publicity photos. You apparently haven't been anywhere near a public beach in say, the last 20 years.

My husband thinks she's hot. That doesn't bother me and I don't feel threatened by it. He's a warm-blooded man. I wouldn't have it any other way.
