From CNN...
Robby Gordon says Patrick has an unfair advantageCONCORD, N.C. (AP) -- Robby Gordon accused Danica Patrick of having an unfair advantage in the Indianapolis 500 and said Saturday he will not compete in the race again unless the field is equalized.
Gordon, a former open-wheel driver now in NASCAR, contends that Patrick is at an advantage over the rest of the competitors because she only weighs 100 pounds. Because all the cars weigh the same, Patrick's is lighter on the race track.
"The lighter the car, the faster it goes," Gordon said. "Do the math. Put her in the car at her weight, then put me or Tony Stewart in the car at 200 pounds and our car is at least 100 pounds heavier.
"I won't race against her until the IRL does something to take that advantage away."
Hey neck....who cares. I guess that "good ole boy" just needs an excuse cuz they aint secure enough to handle losing to a woman. Rubbin ain't racin' with an indy car. I guess you need balls and skill. And the fine Ms. Patrick has more cajones then Robby G. I know Necks think Jeff Gordon is a swisher...I think they got the wrong Gordon.
Dana Patrick was reached for comment and she was asked how Robby Gordon measures up to other racers.
I am guessing the 100 extra pounds Robby G was "giving up" was strictly
ABOVE the belt.
