Are there any women drivers currently in Nascar?

No.

The one that is most likely to ever compete in F1 racing is probably Danica Patrick, currently competing in the IndyCar series. The USGPE team that will probably enter the F1 racing scene in 2010 has shown interest in her, but she stated that she wants to focus on IndyCar.

I think it would be very interesting if women would finally compete in F1. Women are usually lighter than men, which is a big advantage in terms of balance of the car. Robert Kubica stated that his car felt a lot better after he lost 5kg of bodyweight.

There have been five female drivers in Formula 1 in the past, however. The first was Maria Teresa de Filippi in 1958, the second Lella Lombardi from 1974 - 1976. These were the only female racers to qualify for a Formula 1 race, and Lella Lombardi is the only one to score (half a point at the 1975 Spanish GP, driving a Cosworth engined March). Divina Galica (1976-78), Desire Wilson (1979) and Giovanna Amati (1992) also entered, but all failed to qualify.

Why did Dale Earnhardt Jr. go to Hendrick Motorsports?

He wasn't allowed much in the form of decision making at DEI, and he had a close friendship with Hendrick and his late Son, It was the obvious move. I to am happy he did. Answer

Because he's a smart guy. Let's face it Hendrick's got it figured out. Gordon and Johnson are great drivers, (especially Gordon), and Hendrick's domination in the last 10 years is unquestionable. Also, the Hendrick team has figured out the Car of Tomorrow, and have won nearly all those races this year. Junior wants to drive for a winner. And you can writhe and Nash your teeth all you want, but this is a winning team.

At last, Gordon and Junior are teammates. Yeah. I like it. What do you think all the hillbillies with summer teeth are going to think of their boy Junior now? Their faith in the system must be really in doubt.

It's a great move for Hendrick, it's a great move for Junior, and now we'll have a product in the Hendrick team with him replacing Kyle Bush, that isn't so unpredictable.

Yeah, Jeff and Junior. What a team.
