I thought it was an ironic, politically incorrect, well timed quip. That's
the funny. She is hardly fazed by quip like that. Lighten up. She's in a boys
club. Girls in boys clubs get teased. I will add, the person who made the
comment was also smiling when he made the comment. Would she have also found
the comment funny? I bet that she would.

I don't... let's see... how about this... a pair of race savvy women
commenting on the performance of a rookie driver, who missed a shift coming
out of corner 5... "Julie your husband is driving with his dick again" Julie
sighs "yes... I know... I keep pointing out to him after he climbs in the
car... 'this is the gearshift... and this your dick... the gears are
shifted with the gearshift'". :)

You might be surprised at what women really find funny versus what
they put up with and offer a snile for.

I doubt it. I'm thinking the same male commmentator talking about a
guy going squirrely would probably say in a slightly hushed voice:
"Wow...he came close to losing it - good recovery for a rising amateur
though." Or similar.

And his fellow racers would be giving him the gears.
I know because I race.
I've bugged my buddy about getting a cane because obviously he was blind
and drove straight into the wreck.
A different friend got a plaque with a tractor on it - the bailing award
for most offtrack excursions.
Me... well, my crew chief has threatened to charge me $100 each time he
has to go retrieve body panels from the infield after the race.

When I was younger and did some drag racing, there was a field off the end
of the strip
with cows in it. Some people were chided about milking the cows if their
chutes failed
or brakes faded.
Danica doesnt deserve any worse, or better, than the rest of the group.
Men have to take some pretty rough treatment on the track as well. It can
be dangerously
aggressive at times.
