Well then in the last 5 or 6 years, I guess BAM racing should be getting help with Marketing because they got Sarah Fisher (possible relation to me) to the Cup series.
OK, but 1st you must know how to drive with the big boys and Sarah Fisher stunk at that small point…
If she had any talent for NASCAR she would have been showered with sponsor $$$ and crowned as the Queen of stock cars.
Even in her element (open wheel) she is at best a field filler and at worst just in ever ones way most of the time…
This diversity deal SUCKS. Nothing against bubba or chrissy. Let talent dictate the line up.
I hope she drives better than her cousin.
I agree with Rick. Talent speaks for itself but a little luck doesn’t hurt either. I hate all this diversity crap. Under diversity theories, the perfect candidate could possibly be a handicapped, lesbian, Muslin woman, black in color with Hispanic and Asian roots on her mother’s side and a white, half Jewish father with 10% Native American blood. See how stupid this stuff can get? And she would have a blind spotter. Wait! I think we already have a few of those! And the driver of her motor coach would be a retired grandmother at minimum wage (like half of the school bus drivers currently employed in this country). I will always believe you should get jobs on your merit or skills rather than your color or religious beliefs. I am not bashing anyone’s religion, race or color here. I’m just saying that many times we go overboard for all this politically correct crap and rhetoric and I’m tired of it. I have no problem with Chrissy. I’ve seen her race. She’s better than Kenny! That’s just my opinion.
George, now thats a refreshing view point to say the least, I can’t agree with you more.
If she drives better than Kenny thats great just as long as she doesn’t talk more than he does or laugh like a galled ball bearing…
Bob, I don’t think ANYONE can out talk Kenny!
