Wanica is inexperienced in crash situations and as many times as she's ended up wrecked one would think she'd be an expert at handling wreck situations. The way she handles interviews after the race or wreck especially after being asked a direct question she talks a whole lot and says nothing.

I've listened to her feedback over the radio and still the same thing, she talks and says nothing that a crew chief could figure out how to make the car better or understand what the heck she's even talking about. Dropping out of high school probably has something to do with her inability to communicate well with others.

She's never going to be a factor in cup racing same as she never was a factor in open wheel cars. I still don't believe Stewart thinks she's coming along fine. As far as challenging the King to a race at a NASCAR track she's never going to get Petty to agree to it, and further it would prove nothing as Petty was going downhill on NASCAR tracks before he quit racing. At her age though he was a star, that's something that will never happen to her.

She doesn't understand the mechanics and physics of a race car and it's astounding that being around racing as long as she has been there is as little knowledge of the platform that she is using week after week. If you don't understand how something works and be able to relay the information to the crew chief, it's pretty difficult for him to adjust it.

At 32 YO she's been racing longer than Petty had when he was her age and has no where near the percentage of wins or records set that Petty had at 32. Petty is 77 YO this year so putting her up against a 32 YO when she's 77 I doubt she'd be able to win in a stock car either. Reflexes going away as you get older take your edge away it happens to everyone that races, no one is exempt.

As Petty said, she's a female and gets all the attention because of it, she surely doesn't get all the attention because of her driving abilities. I seriously doubt when she's 40 she'll still be competing in NASCAR, don't know what she'll be doing, but I doubt she'll be the darling of NASCAR in 8 years.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
