not to take away anything from the win but I gotta sway the advantage meter to her favor with the budget/backing that she has with that race team. Seems less to me about earning a win versus having tooo much in your favor not to win eventually

She actually had the points lead going into the race although Wilkerson qualifying #1 bumped her out for a short period of time.

I think it would be more legitmate IMO if anyone else other than her father was her opponent that day. I cant help but think that dear old dad blew the tires on purpose.

and oh yeah she is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY hotter than danica patrick.

I don't know Yoo. He looked pissed after the race. Even during his post race interview he seemed upset about losing.

possible, I didnt watch any of the clips, its just my instinct saying pops looking out for his little girl. I wouldnt expect him to be happy about it.

They had some audio before the race of him talking to his crew chief wondering what the chances were of him blowing off the tires and his chief said it wasn't very likely but anything could happen. Then he goes up in smoke......that's probably why he was pissed.

either way..she earned it...takes alot to strap into a 8k horse power car ......and i have to agree with Want Notch....dear ole dad did looked pissed when the race was over.....some will say he let her HAVE it....i say NO...she earned it...and im'm sticking to that...and she is hotter then Danica Patrick....way hotter.....but hell i'm old...when would i get a chance with that....

i didnt catch the race yesterday because i was working on my own racecar, but definetly cool that ashley won. i know force has had team orders in the past, but i think she deserves a win and she proved that she has the balls (not literally) to run with the big boys. hell, i dont even know if i would strap my ass in a fuel funny car, and ive piloted some fast junk!
