Controversial Remarks On Female NASCAR Drivers
Petty, along with several male drivers, has made negative comments about female driver Danica Patrick's ability, as a woman, to race successfully. Petty, in a separate interview, stated in 2006, "I just don't think it's a sport for women, and so far, it's proved out. It's really not. It's good for them to come in. It gives us a lot of publicity, it gives them publicity. But as far as being a real true racer, making a living out of it, it's kind of tough."

Famous quotes containing the words remarks and/or female:
“There are remarks that sow and remarks that reap.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Among all the modernized aspects of the most luxurious of industries, the model, a vestige of voluptuous barbarianism, is like some plunder-laden prey. She is the object of unbridled regard, a living bait, the passive realization of an ideal.... No other female occupation contains such potent impulses to moral disintegration as this one, applying as it does the outward signs of riches to a poor and beautiful girl.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
