    She's been racing since a kid. Won a big short track race last year or the one before and has been in under funded part time teams for truck races mostly.

    She's as good as anyone else out there struggling to get a good ride I'd say.

    I'd say Long would be doing better than Danica is so far if both had the same amount of support and funding.

    She's only 20 still though. Danica fever could help her make it too.

    More about getting sponsor support honestly. Young drivers do get picked up by the big teams on skill too, but 95% of truck series tryers don't go any further even with great talent.

    Danica success could see some marketing type chasing the next female 'sensation' though. And she'd be in the box seat.

    Been quite a few females race trucks and especially ARCA in recent years. Seen races with more than half a dozen running.
