She weighs 100 lbs. <br>That makes her car 100 lbs lighter than that of some of the other drivers.<br>I doubt they will make a rule change regarding weight considering how she has basically put IRL racing back on it's feet.<br><br>I'll give her credit for one thing...she's even got me talking about the Indy 500 and I don't care for auto racing.<br><br><br>
Robby Gordon's sour grapes are weak. <br><br>For one, he wasn't even racing against her. Second, the entire basis of his bitching is now moot because she didn't win. So much for an unfair advantage. <br><br>Sure..she's 100 pounds lighter...but what about drivers that weigh more or less than Robby Gordon? <br><br>
It's somewhat interesting that two of the top Indy drivers don't weigh much.<br>Dan Wheldon weighs 157 lbs and Tony Kanaan weighs 145 lbs. <br>It's all moot because Danica has brought interest back to auto racing.<br>I thought our resident expert, DrJohn, would be "weighing-in" on the subject.<br><br>

I even watched the race this time, hoping she would be among the finishers. Home town gal makes good!<br><br>I remember articles in our paper when she was racing go-karts. She was destined for the big time. <br><br>Who cares about Robby Gordon...or what he thinks?!!<br><br>
