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.

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...

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!!!

Dead on, Jim. Case in point: 2011. Fram/Prestone drops (forces Don Schumacher to drop) grey-haired 40+ Cory McClenathan for young, hip, marketable 20-something Spencer Massey.
