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 have your opinion, I have mine.
Have a great day!
That is fine. That is your opinion.
I just try to always ask myself if God would approve of that attire. I think He would not. Please note that I said, "I think". It is my personal opinion.
Have a great day!
I see you recognized yourself in my description.
And, say, aren't you the one who always whines about "small groups" pinging others. And here you go pinging one yourself. Of course, "your" group is realitively small, considering that most women on FR aren't intimidated by pictures in a magazine, as you are.
Humble? I think that would be about the last word I would use to describe her. In fact, I think she's pretty obnoxious and arrogant.
At the 500 banquet, she was presented with the Rookie of the Year trophy. Her response? "This looks a lot like the trophy for the fastest rookie."
LOL!
Speaking of the devil..... :) You called that one right! She cannot resist stalking me!
Her chastity belt must be too tight.
Danica gave race fans a treat on Sunday. We knew we were looking at a Champ in 1978 with Rick and we knew what we saw on Sunday.
Bobby Rahal is the team owner and he told her- to get out there... so she did.
Keep your eye on her because she is going to win one day very soon.
Unfortunately, not.
LOL!
This one will make you laugh......
Speaking of the devil..... :)
Some "women" just get off trashing other women. If you watch, they do it to just about every woman there is a discussion about: rape victim, Laura Bush.
Beats the heck out of me why they are so threatened by somebody they don't know. Of course, they never post THEIR picture so we can have a good old FR discussion about them.
It's kind of like high school.
All women not dressed 24 x 7 in Victorian garb are sluts. Didn't you get the FR memo on this?
Well, hey, that's fine. She rubs me the wrong way, though. I certainly wouldn't miss her if she jumped to NASCAR and I never saw her again....
Could it be that she was making a joke? Sheesh.
I loaded up Danica's website to show my husband her racing highlights. When he saw this
Finished second at the Formula Ford Festival in England, the highest ever finish for an American in the event.
He said that this event is cut throat racing and that if she came in second that she can drive!
My husband used to drive SCCA.
Danica has been racing since she was 10. That makes 13 years. She is good at it. Some people just want to belittle her accomplishments.
Maybe if she was butt ugly.......naw.......they'd still find something to whine about -- her being a woman and all.
If memory serves me she is the only woman (in a non drag racing venue) that has secured a seat in first class equipment. I hope she has a long and successful career.
If she was butt ugly they would call her a dyke.
