Would be a great idea. Run it like the IROC series from a few years back. They have some young gals that are getting some exposure now. 4 race season and then add races if it is popular. No road courses though, they might pull over to ask for directions.

I don't think NASCAR is looking for any expansion right now.

Why?

Women can compete with men in auto racing.

Why? It’s not an athletic competition. It’s not based on physical athleticism that give men an advantage over women.

There is zero reason why women can’t earn their way just like the men in auto racing.

I'm theory yes, but that theory is based on the false premise that the only difference between men and women is purely physical.

Men have significantly better reflexes and hand eye coordination as well.

Which is why things like darts, bowling, pool, video games, etc are still overwhelming dominated by men at the highest levels.

It’s a great idea until you actually have to talk about who is going to watch women’s nascar and how will it make money, then you realize it’s a terrible idea from any sort of business perspective

There is athleticism to it, just not a certain type of athleticism that a woman doesn't also have if they physically prepare themselves to drive those cars.

Man the SJWs would loath this. They haven’t watched a second of nascar racing and prolly think Dale Jr is still the best racer but they’d be red in the face over this. Looking at you Sarah Spain

I don't think there would be any drivable cars left to finish the race.

I just imagine them driving a bunch of Tahoe’s. Did i mention they’ll all have 1 or 2 kids and have a husband who works in the plants?

How are they possibly going to pit? They can't park as it is...

Did you make a whole thread for that one old man's Facebook joke at the end?

This “theory” has been put to practice, as women have in fact competed with men in auto racing.

Danica Patrick has won an Indy race, and finished top ten in multiple NASCAR races.

In a rain shortened race that was won on strategy. Decided by the crew chief btw.

7 top tens in 191 races.

With a top shelf team.

She sucked.

And people loved rooting for her. That is why I think it would work. You could have a couple of manly short hair cut types that people could hate on. Men would always pull for the hotties.
People watched GLOW wrestling for years. And if they are so good and equal like everyone is saying, why would you not watch???
