I think Danica's doing a really good job but I don't necessarily understand why -- just because we're two women -- that we're always being compared

[Bill Elliott] just tells me a lot of different things about the car

I'm sure it helps
women good understand job
I wish her a lot of success. I think she's doing a good job, and hopefully we can both put a good name on the map for women in racing.

Ray Evernham has given me a great opportunity and I have good people around me, so it makes things a lot easier,.. I'm very excited. It is a big step and I don't have that much stock car experience and I can't wait to get that first one over and done with. It's the opportunity of a lifetime.

It's not like they're just throwing me to the wolves and saying, 'Here's a girl, let's give her an opportunity.' Ray's really behind me, so he's put Bill with me and some of the top engineers, so I'm very thankful.

I come from a sprint-car background where the cars weigh about 1,200 pounds and have about 850 horsepower, so this car has less horsepower and weighs three times as much, so it's a big difference to me.

I just need to get laps
I'm ready to fight for it, and I think I can make it happen. Like Ray and Kasey said, it's a matter of having the right equipment, getting the right funding, learning at the right rate, and not throwing myself into something I'm not ready for. So, there are a lot of factors. It really is a tough business, especially NASCAR.

Stock car racing is where it's at right now. All my heroes growing up, Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon, I watched them running USAC sprint cars and midgets. This is where they are.
