Can Robbie Gordon compete with 160 pounds? How high does Robbie need the others to weigh? 200? 180? The guy that won weighs 157.
"Darn right, and part of achieving goals in motorsports is getting sponsorships. That is where being 100lbs is an advantage Robbie can't compete with"
Does Robbie have a problem with ALL fellow racers that weigh less than him?
Yes, Danica is a mere 105 pounds, but can you imagine the upper body strength required to literally fly by the seat of your pants (jumpsuit) in heavy, bite-bite traffic at 225 MPH for hours on end, managing a very small steering wheel with which all the while it's life-or-death critical to actuate constant, perfect, nanosecond turns and dodges, whilst wearing a hot, vision-imparing helmet in a very confined and blind-spotted race car?
Danica has a major disadvantage of not having a muscle-massed core, upper body, and ARMS, all of which are VERY helpful in success at her level of racing.
And she's a rookie, to boot!
I know *I* would be wearing my "Oops I Crapped My Pants" adult undergarment. :-)
