But, I'm for betting a lot of the other tiny drivers in the ranks couldn't do it either. Like Jerry Nadeau, man is he ever small. He doesn't drive anymore because of a concussion, but I've seen him in person. Or John Andretti. I "had" a picture of he and Michael Waltrip talking to each other and the contrast was striking. Mikey is only 6'5", too!<br /><br />And power steering has made trucking a lot easier, too. It's not so physically demanding as it was thirty years ago, for sure.

And I'm somewhat happy for Danica winning the pole, I just wish it was ME instead! I've loved racing my entire life and they didn't let girls play when I could have had a career. ;-)<br />HEATHERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324130429322268692noreply@blogger.com
