She was bada$$ in Formula 1 racing.

Put a top name NASCAR driver in Formula 1 and see how well he does.

A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, Bobby Unser and Juan Pablo Montoya all come to mind as Formula 1/Indy Car/open-wheel drivers who ran NASCAR and did reasonably well. It wasn't that common, though.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one ... I don't think she's ever won a race and that impacts her 'bada$$' quotient in my book. I've seen her race a couple times, last time was in the Detroit Grand Prix (other then the recent Daytona 500) ... she finished 2nd, but caused a few crashes.

I will admit, she's competitive and I'm probably being a bit harsh, but I stand by my politically incorrect, sexist remarks.
