There are several Women/girls in the lower classes, like sprint cars that are progressing way faster than Deegan. Some in different driver development programs, that are actually trying to be good race drivers, not social media stars.

In reply to Joseph Daniels. @sking2173 from a corporation standpoint (which is sadly what racing series have become) I understand. I however would watch it.

In reply to Michael Peffer. I too am losing interest. She is not aggressive enough. Trucks seem to be a more aggressive style of racing than the other series in NASCAR. Maybe she would do better in Xfinity. I don't know.

In reply to Joseph Daniels.

Well examine this little tidbit — WNBA attendance is horrible. And the only way people would want to watch powderpuff racing is if the girls are all hot and are introduced before the race wearing bikinis — BTW, this is why women’s beach volleyball is so popular.

Over in Europe they had a “W Series” that was supposed to assist in the entry of females into F-1. It was founded in 2019, and didn’t even complete the 2022 season. Even then it was supposed to come back in 2023, but instead went into administration (you Americans call that bankruptcy).

Nobody really cared — showing well in a powderpuff series is in no way indicative of how any of them would do in an open-series (with men racing, too). Further, of all the competitors, only a couple were actually attractive. No eye candy, no reason to watch …

If people think this is going to be any different from Danica (i.e. shifting to marketing her body and looks other than proving her place among drivers with talent) they are mistaken.
I mean this for fair competition: why in the heck has NASCAR not started a Powder Puff league. I would completely watch it. Saturday night, I’m there. WNBA stars don’t compete in the NBA for obvious reasons. Organize a women’s series. It will get great ratings.

Toni Breidenger is looking like more and more of the top female talent after each truck start.

Racing is hard, if you have little eye to hand control.

I really hoped Deegan would be the female driver to break through in NASCAR but she has yet to do anything of note other than a solid first Xfinity race. Even if the trucks don’t fit her racing style you would expect to see some improvements which there just has not been. I think her time is running out.

She finally got her revenge on Alan after martinsville last year
