Neither me nor Danika have ever placed in the top 5 in a NASCAR race.

I’d say we are equally deserving.

 

[bschomske]

If she got in I would say "thats the Pits"

 

[fratzog lover]

Political correctness being what it is, nothing would shock me.

Is there a single driver in the hall of fame without a win?

Is there a single driver in the hall of fame without a win?

Good Q.

 

[JB400]

She bounced off several walls, but she hasn't knocked any down that has changed the outlook on female race car drivers

 

[69 GTX]

She's easy on the eyes but has she really done anything to merit recognition. I'm sure there are dozens of drivers that were better than her that aren't "in".

 

[super-bee_ski]

Ha Ha
She and Kyle Petty!

 

[69 GTX]

Even Kyle won 8 races.

 

[bschomske]

She did win a Indy car race in Japan and was leading the indy 500 with only a few laps to go.But I don't think hall of fame stuff

 

[WileE]

Hall of dame...yeah. Fame, no.

the NASCAR Hall of Fame has a voting panel of 53 people, they induct five people per year.

Shouldn't they induct people based on fame? Their race record?
5 every year, good or bad, I'll guess they'll eventually get to everybody.

Eventually, the Hall of Fame will be just one giant Participation Trophy.

She going in for the most “DNF’s”?

 

[SteveSS]

Yah, but she's the first girl, then first Negro, Mexican, Gay, Transvestite, Blind person, etc..
