rumors of this popped up months ago. Pretty sure it will happen, although maybe just part-time this year. I know the IRL is dying to keep her.

She annoys the heck outta me.

(Relevance to this thread? None. Likelihood of me not adding my opinion anyway? Slim.)

She's signed with AGR, I was told by an AGR employee last week. Who knows really.

I was there that day and still remember it all too well ... the look on Ken Schrader's face said it all...

Not really sure I would call Busch Grand National the big time...quite a few paid field fillers IIRC and more and more Cup drivers.

Does anyone know the power assist ratio on a stock car?
I'm going to guess that she might need something special similar to power steering tests in her IRL cars.

I meant NASCAR in general, love it or hate it, stock car racing is king in the US. Personally, I love it!
The Nationwide cars don't have a lot of PS assist at all, she might have a problem.

Just what Nascar needs, another middle of the pack driver. If she was a winner I can see what the excitement would be. As a sponsor bringer I can see why the team would want her. But she is not a great driver. I'm a fan of her bikini pictures, that's all.
