NASCRAP ticket sales and/or viewership must be sluggish.  Their PR campaign appears to be working though as this news has been everywhere.   Ohhh! Hot Chick!!! I'll watch nascrap this weekend!!!   Advertisers,  "Yes. Yes you will and you will buy our crap too!"

DISCLAIMER:

NASCAR and its teams, drivers, cars, promotions, and especially viewers are not necessarily representative of the greater Canadian population at large and we express that we hold absolute liability if any if not all of the activities to be held in Montreal cause the wider NASCAR audience to grow any culturally significant interests or world view attitudes as a result of the proximity of same audience to les Quebeqois.

TABERNACLE!

Hey, real gender equality is letting women drivers be mediocre as well.

(Well, "mediocre" in the given context. I'm sure they'd all kick the shit out of me on the track...)

I agree...but they are so few and far between in the media of racing empires that they get swept under the rug and hidden away when they don't perform and put on a pedestal for when they are launched into performing because of them being an anomoly on the whole...

I'd love to see what Sabine Schmitz would do for example!

But would they let a mediocre woman drive if her name was the female version of Dick Trickle and she looked like Dale Earnhardt senior?  ;D
