So for me, even though I'm not interested in sports, OP was correct.
I'm curious why I don't know any female race car drivers... the argument could be made that female athletes are not as physically strong so they aren't competitive in strength based sports, but it seems like anyone can drive a car fast? Who are the biggest female race car drivers?
Literally outside of the Williams Sisters and the "Transpeople are coming for your wives and daughters" scapegoats of the week like Fallon Fox and Lia Thomas... the only name that jumps to mind is Danica Patrick
Who never finished a race in her life and is better remembered for being in softcore porn ads for GoDaddy.com and making a very questionable playable appearance in a Sonic game, than any non "First Female" accomplishments in Nascar.
Look I'm all for breaking the glass ceiling, but Danica Patrick isn't a woman who does any favors for people trying to get over the stereotype.
