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.

It is about be a ground breaker and a leader.
It is about being a good sport and having a dream and going after it. Her story is about family support and determination and all sorts of things.
But go ahead and dwell on some photos. Y'all are missing a really good and heartwarming story. That is okay. I was with about 200,000 -250,000 people on Sunday who got it! We were loving it!
Let's see, sexy driver or frumpy housewife, sexy driver or frumpy housewife. Decisions, decisions.
I understand about your LOL and such....I was mainly referring to your posts to others that seem angry.
But hey, you say you are not angry, that is good enough for me.
Have a great day!
If it is very telling about me that I noticed that, then I'm not sure what it is. Being observant didn't used to be a crime around here.
A soldier....they still don't get it.....
All righty then. Tell me, who caused the first caution and how many cars were taken out? Same questions but second caution? Why are you focused just on her accident?
She seems to be a great driving talent. If she wants to be taken seriously at anything, she shouldn't be posing like that.
They both offend me. God would not approve of those photos and I am willing to leave it up to HIM to be the final decision maker.
Have a great day!
Probably not interested in replicars with restrictor plates.
. .An avid fan of music she likes everything BUT country ....
..from her fan site.
Great, she can go off to NASCAR and rock its world. She can win the Winston Cup and all will be right with the world. I won't care because I've watched exactly zero NASCAR races in the last 11 years, with my last race being the first race at the IMS. I used to love NASCAR when it just a bunch of good ol' boys, but it's not anymore and they've driven me off, so to speak.
And by the way, I never said what she can or can't handle; I don't care what she handles so long as I don't have to see it. If she goes to NASCAR and wins the Winston Cup, great. Just like Jacques Villeneuve, another guy I CAN'T STAND: when he left Indy cars and raced in F1, I didn't care that he won the 1997 F1 championship--I was just pleased that I didn't have to see the guy with milk all over his face in May. That's all I'm saying.
Lose some weight Robbie.
But, but, who insinuated that she was a slut? Surely God doesn t post here. Wasn't it you that determined that she was a slut? Yes or no?
Yes, I said she dressed like a slut. I stand by that.
Like I said, I am willing to let God be the final decision maker on what is and what is not appropriate attire.
If you are willing to let God be the final decision maker, then why are you making that determination for Him?
