When will it ever stop........

The first woman to do this the first woman to do what ever

How about Good Job Melanie for a Great run in Bristol.

Menchining gender, race, ect, ect cheapens it to "Not to bad for a girl" when in reality it is not to bad for anybody

The girl has alot of talent................not alot of talent for a girl but alot of talent for anyone

I don't see it any different than the whole Juan Pablo thing. Drag racing has had succesful women since the 70s. Now it's becoming sought after in Nascar, Indy and perhaps even F1.

I don't care who ya are, If your talented enough to do it and win. More power too ya!

The over exploitation isn't just IRL's doing but media and Self brought on.

Good luck to the gals at Indy. I still say if one wins, It's no longer a squirell finding a nut. That race takes skill, Equiptment and lots of luck.
