bad care drivers everywhere hesitant likes period rivalry time year

To be perfectly honest, absolutely. That's one thing about our sport: No matter what the rules are, if there's any gray anywhere, somebody is going to find a way to use it to their advantage.
car chief conversation crew decent himself knew
We knew he was going to have a decent conversation with the crew chief of the other car and he did. He conducted himself in a professional fashion.

What Danica did in Indianapolis was spectacular. We absolutely would love to have a female competing in our series and we do have some on the horizon. It's just a question of getting them in the right equipment and getting them experience.
