I’m not saying she isn’t a good driver because no matter what she looks like she wouldn’t keep a job at that level without skill. I’m just saying if she wasn’t smoking hot she wouldn’t get anywhere near the press she does. Who won the last Indy race? Sure as hell wasn’t on the main page of [cnn.com](http://cnn.com). ---

Very true… However, to get to the point when she _became_ **_so_** marketable she had to have some talent. Chicken or the egg… yah kow? ---

Some balls as well. I’m sure there weren’t a lot of guys (drivers,team owners) holding doors open for her. Literally or figuratively!!! ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > Very true… > > However, to get to the point when she _became_ **_so_** marketable she had to have some talent. > > Chicken or the egg… yah kow? Personally i think the reason it took her this long to win is because she didn’t spend enough time in developmental series and instead was thrown right into the mix because there was money to be made. ---
