    Just so I'm not accused of pedantry

    My point about Patrick not being a NASCAR driver is that NASCAR still is old-school sexist, if we can use Richard Petty's recent comments as any indication: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060526/SPORTS18/605260374/1066/SPORTS18.

    "I just don't think it's a sport for women," Petty, 68, told the Associated Press. "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."
