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.

I don't mind the questions because I realize that a woman racer is still fairly unique.

Ray criticized some things I did on the track. Fair enough, he wasn't mean about it but I'd rather have someone speak the truth to me any day than tell me different.
