Mods move to Non-moto if need be, just thought it was cool to see media following her career.

Go Hailie!
Earning woke points by mentioning a female racecar driver seems the logical answer because someone swearing during competition surely isn't news worthy.
The Shop
Edit: thanks guys the down votes made my day 😂
she's in the top team in the series that does not have big car counts, and most the guys paying there own bills like Souza is wont like someone wrecking there shit for no reason,
She and her father must know, and have known, the climate that exists in that arena.
To get a bit freaked out when it gets a little bit heavy tells me one of 2 things.
She was/is clueless on the realities of what she's getting into, or, she expects to be the instrument of change, to make it a bit more, ah, nice.
In other words, she's dumb as a rock, or is just another element in the pussification of male dominated sports in general.
She carries the pretty young lady card.
If and when the guy she punted, does retaliate in a future round, especially if she gets hurt, he's not labeled a savvy competitor that takes no prisoners,
he's the cowardly monster that ruined that young girls face.
Tell me I'm wrong.
She markets herself well , and has the sponsors which gives her the good rides , it will be interesting to see how she progresses , she has a a long way to go for sure and big steps to make to get to a cup ride
Maybe so Scott.
Just one question. why wouldn't anyone punch her in the mouth?
do you think someone would?
Pit Row
That's my point. She will always have that, I dunno, advantage. She knows no matter what she does out there,
nobody is gonna come busting into her pit and throttle her. It just wouldn't be right.
She said herself, she had to get going, had to move up, and did what she had to do.
How far is she gonna take that mindset?
Hey, even if it doesn't come to fisticuffs, what's gonna be the word when/if the guy she stuffed last week really takes her out? Is he supposed to on,y give to the degree what he got, or really teach the other driver a lesson like he might want to? That's what I'm kinda thinking. He puts her in the wall, who knows what's gonna happen.
And if it's not good, the guy that did it will be the jackass.
I personally think Ty Gibbs has a bigger future , and he will have the best rides
I reckon there'd be plenty of people out there happy to see her get wrecked solely due to her being a girl (a few posts above for example)
But hey, the advantage she has by being a woman
imo will be overcome.
I mean, look around. Almost every sport separates the girls from the boys. There's a reason. Even in a sport like tennis, the top 100 male pros could wax
the number one female player.
Unless they water it down, make it a bit more civilized, accommodating if you will, testosterone,
or the lack of, will limit how far up that ladder she will go.
There should be a new rule
No cursing in the pits.
Call it the Deegan Rule.
Say fuck out loud and you're docked 2 positions at the next round.
She worked up to 360s and never asked for special treatment, has paid her dirt tracker dues, never talked big shit and ran her mouth, (even when she was on the receiving end of some BS stunts by disgruntled male racers) and is truly a humble person who is not full of herself. And just cool she 'gets it' about sprint car racing.
"Its just chaos, I mean its open wheel, open cockpit, bad fast, just wicked fast....."

If she ever ran ASCS Gulf South Id pay the stinkin' pit pass cost and go watch this awesome young lady race. Win, lose or draw, she's a class act. THIS is the kinda women we need in racing.
Except they're not...
What are they doing that has "never" been done before? Or do you mean never done before by a woman? Because plenty of men have done what these women are doing. Thus, I don't get the big deal.
There is a reason WNBA tickets don't sell like NBA tickets. It's a whole lot more interesting to see a game where 200 points are made compared to a game where 78 points are made.
Same thing goes for motorsports. Guys go faster, thus it makes the competition more exciting. Every go to a pro national with womens MX? It's boring when it happens right after a mens race because the speeds are so much slower. Nothing against those women btw, they would crush me any day of the week if I lined up next to them.
C'mon, it is a big deal that there are women in the pro class and that they are winning championships and races. It is different than a man winning because they are the first, like Brad Lackey being the first American to go win a GP championship when it was undisputedly the top of the heap.
I tend to follow only a few sports.
