Petty has pretty much said mirrored what I have maintained all along, not a race car driver and actually she won't learn to be without some God given talent, which she doesn't have.
The racing community already knows she isn't ever going to be a star in NASCAR, her loyal fan base and the media just need to come to the same conclusion. In race car driving you either have it or you don't. The touring Queen does not have it, and in my opinion never will.
As Petty says, driving a car fast does not make you a race car driver, there is so much more that enters into the equation than driving fast. She is about 50% of what she needs to be competitive in Sprint cup and no place to draw from to get the other 50%.
The touring Queen hype is dying down and the commentators aren't giving her air time like they did in the beginning of the season. Tony Stewart has publicly said if she doesn't stop cutting off lead cars when they're lapping her he could pull her out of the ride. Best thing that could happen to the #10 team.
Even the posting on this thread has slowed because the fans that supported her in the beginning have no stats to fall back on to support their heroine. PR and media can only hype something so long when there is no results, and there are no results, except a constant 30th place driver, car, and team.........................
