Thats bull crap. She can drive an proved that this weekend. A has of being pretty thats a plus. That car dont take off itself an it sure dont shift itself either.

Re: enders vs anderson
 

It is just amazing how narrow minded some people can be!

So since Erica does not wrench the car she drives, does it make it her less of a driver?

So let's take it from a different angle...

How many women are racing in the Sportsman classes that do not wrench the car they drive?

Does it make them less of a driver???

How many of the posters have the mechanical ability and knowledge to setup a clutch, suspension or even tune a Pro Stock car or even type a message on this board without spelling errors?

Let's not forget that Greg's operation has at least a few engineer's in addition to the crew assisting them... and let's not forget how much he brought with him after he left WJ's team...

Does anyone remember Alderman or Geofrion? (sp) Neither of those guys could put gas in a car but they were pretty good drivers. It's apparent some just don't like a woman doing well.

Re: enders vs anderson
 

x2, If you look back over the years in pro stock, how many pro athletes have driven/ funded there own teams, bringing limited mechanical ability, nobody seemed to mind. Greg is a fierce competitor who hates to lose,and if anything may lack some media skills( which I don't find). If Ken Black is ok with it it shouldn't bother anybody else. gsa612

Ask yourself this, would she have got that ride if she was 40 lbs. heavier and was not real nice looking? I think not. She's very "marketable". There are literally hundreds of racers that could drive that car just as well but don't have the "marketable good looks" to gain good sponsors, or the bucks to pay for it.

Re: enders vs anderson
 

Are you so hung up on looks???

If she was 40lbs. heavier and not good looking, she would still be driving because of the sponsorship.

I know many are throwing barbs at Erica, however, I have not heard a comment about Courtney Force's win...by the way, she is also a girl, good looking, Daddy has lots of $$$...and she does not turn a wrench either...

[QUOTE=SSDiv6;339239]Are you so hung up on looks???

Not me, but I guarantee some of the sponsors are. Companies are looking for a marketable image for their product. If you think they are going to want their image to be a guy in his 50's with a beer belly, you're fooling yourself.

Now you are getting personal and insulting those that have cultivated the art of increasing their girt with the inflections of Malt and Hops!!! :D

Re: enders vs anderson
 

Did you notice that when Allen Johnson lost, he came over and shook her hand?Jason Line never did....Must be a Summit thing.Just sayin......

Re: enders vs anderson
 

Noticed that as well. Line had a microphone in his face the second he stepped out of the car. If he came over to Erica, it was after the cameras and on air ESPN interview was complete.
