I wouldn't say she wasn't affected by it. She looked pretty upset in the interviews I saw.

If she starts balling in pit lane people would say she couldn't handle her emotions. If she is calm on the outside she is an ice queen.

I remember Richard Petty talking in an interview about when Adam hit one of his crewmen and the outcome was much worse. Richard mentioned that Adam was beside himself and that Richard sat him down and told him that he had to get past it and move on if he was to be successful. Richard relayed a couple of stories to him that happened to him that were similar situations and discussed to him how he got past it.

That was before Adam died, and not long after Adam's death he basically said the same thing about how his family had to move on.

(Not to get off subject, but I saw an interview with Bobby Allison and his wife that said Adam's death brought them back to together. They had grown apart with the grief of losing both sons, but they felt that they had to go be with the Petty's and in doing so they started getting through their problems. In not dealing with their grief in a proper manner, it had destroyed their relationship.)

I mention all of that because that is basically the situation she was in.(Although Chuck wasn't hurt as bad as he could have been) To be successful she has to move on. She has to concentrate on the job at hand. It wasn't her fault, she could do nothing to change the outcome.
She has to get out of her own way and go forward.
Great post. Amen.

Later in the garage, Patrick, who drives for Andretti Green Racing, said: "You know, it is really, really unfortunate what happened today. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Hopefully, he can get back to the track soon and be able to do what he loves."
