Controversial Remarks On Female NASCAR Drivers
Petty, along with several male drivers, has made negative comments about female driver Danica Patrick's ability, as a woman, to race successfully. Petty, in a separate interview, stated in 2006, "I just don't think it's a sport for women, 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. But as far as being a real true racer, making a living out of it, it's kind of tough."

“I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.”

“Here falling houses thunder on your head,
And here a female atheist talks you dead.”
