Did you see the in car camera? Did you see how fast those hands were on the wheel ? She proved to me then that she is no joke, how many other NASCAR drives could have saved that car and not hit the wall. She just never gave in to the crash and kept driving the car. I just may become a #7 fan.

I started liking her way back when Robby Gordon said that he wouldn't race against her.Reason being she had an unfair weight advantage in INDY cars.Second was when she popped Luzzier after a crash she claimed he caused .

And your right 89 she paddled the wheel better than I've ever seen .After that you could read her eyes "who hit me"?

Sixth place.
First time in a stock car.
Hmmm...

Where are all the multitudes of people who've posted to various forums here on the CAC saying Ms. Patrick can't drive? :confused

Well, I don't know where they are, but they're sure are quiet all of a sudden.ad

I still say she's Tony Stewart with tits.

What'll be really intersting is how she does after she's run five or 10 races in the NWS.

Well, Robby ought to get some exercise and loose some off that fat ass of his...and quit complaining

I did not see the race, but if she was really having to work the steering wheel a lot, that means the crew may have missed the car's set-up so...not only did she get sixth the first time out, but did it in a car which wasn't handling well.

Uh...I'm still waiting for all the naysayers to post...guys...

Hmm. The silence is deafening.

... it's hard driving thru the grass and avoiding the wall without working the wheel! :cool​

Yeah, big deal! 6th place in a damned ARCA race. She had the best equipment out there and the best she can do is stay out of the way and let them crash in front of her! ARCA is a no talent series Frank Kimmel proved that when he got his Cup chance and he was a no show! When the media interviews the first place driver then next interviews the 6th place driver then you know you've got yourself a media circus! But she does this better than the rest of the field!

Come on JR, tell us what ya really think!

 

[jrose7004]

This kind of crap is what is making racing a total joke!

 

[6 Shooter]

So your going to skip on the tatoo!

 

[jrose7004]

I think vettboy should go ahead as for me I'm sticking with my Bobby Allison 12 tatoo!

 

[jrose7004]

Now here was a race driver!

 

[vett boy]

This kind of crap is what is making racing a total joke!

I'd be willin to drop my pamper so you can kiss my #7 :blue: :blue:

No, maybe your damned #14 but never your #7!
Oh, and what about the boycott?
