Maybe Briscoe should learn how to drive. He cut her off! She had every right to tear into his butt!

The usage agreement prevents me from responding to this ridiculous statement.

Leaving pit lane is call made by the crewcheif. From inside the car, the driver can't see far enough past the car and pitcrews working behind them to make the call themselves. The crewcheif should have held the driver until he had totally clear lane (and a half) to pull out. Briscoe did get a bit sideways and DID cause the wreck but I would put at least half the blame on his crewcheif.

As far as Danica.........She's no worse than any other driver in the heat of the CRASH moment. At least she didn't throw a helmet

If she was charging towards my pit, I'd wrestle with her!

Hmmmm.... I sense a double-standard brewing in this thread. Would anyone be saying that a man shouldn't be racing if he got just as angry in the same situation? Probably not.... So why call attention to it when it happens to be a woman?

She's probably bigger than Brisco and could probably kick his ass. She went toe to toe with another male driver earlier this year. Those male Indy car drivers are pretty small guys

The real sad story in the race was Sarah Fischer being taken out as a result of Marco Andretti's dumb move. Sarah's running her own team on a shoestring budget and needed to FINSH the race for $$$

double standard
noun
a rule or principle that is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups : the smaller pay received by black soldiers demonstrated a double standard.

I know this may sound weird, but it could be that double-standards aren't necessarily restricted to the pay received by black soldiers. Not sure 'bout that though....

Your right. Those guys are relatively small. But she's 5'2" and only weighs 100 lbs. I'll take my chances!
