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."
