Looks like she will be mentoring under Tony Stewart. Smart move, as he is one of their most versatile drivers.

lessee....she's made a name for herself finishing, on average, 10th in a 17 car circuit. I wonder how
she'll fare in Nascar? Lots of luck with this project, Tony! :)

She'll never win.

Nascar isn't stuck to the track like Indy cars.

well, like I said, she seemed stuck in 8th or worse place, most of the time. That said, maybe her presence in NASCAR will start to fill up those half-full stands and bump up the abyssmal ratings.

You can put her in Stewart's car, with Stewart's crew and you'll still see her at the back of the pack. FAKT

nah, she'll finish once in a while, unlike a few regulars. From what I've seen of her Nationwide races, she has a set of stones for a woman driver, but the learning curve is steep, even for top-notch talent(which she isn't). Still, she'll get her shot if she wants it because she sells tickets, and draws sponsorship.
