Sad to say it's gonna be a while before we see a woman win a Cup race.

It has to do with the drivers, sponsorship, marketing and starting grids.

The starting grids of the OW races that I have seen are half of a NASCAR field. You still have to race, but double the entrants to 43 and it's that much harder.

Marketing? Would NASCAR market a woman in the same way that DP was marketed? How many women Cup fans would like to see a woman driver draped over the 44 (D) car...Little joke there!

Sponsorship? Tide and Enzyte, Staples and Viagra. NASCAR is open to all kinds of sponsorship. But let's play 'what if'. Are we ready for the Victoria's Secret Bra Cup? (A joke....) Tampax, Cover Girl?

LOL, a driver hawking undies.....I wear VC undies under my firesuit! And I feel like a winner!

How would the men take it? Three types of males here. Ones that don't care, the group that cares and the drivers that will go out of their way to try and make a woman cry....

I hope no one takes that as a "Bah Humbug" approach, but having been a fan for a while I see some of those problems coming up for any woman driver making a run at a fulltime SCS run.....it's too bad.
