I've only seen 2 interviews with her and I'm sorry myself personally I can't take a person serious about racing with whatever it is she has on her face.

That's just sad, man. Her appearance has nothing to do with how well she can drive a race car.

She's actually decent. Of course she doesn't drive with the skill and speed that most have in the series because they have been driving since right out of diapers, but as DW says she holds a pretty wheel. She will be lapped probably. Kansas is a fast track. On a slower one, Hickory she finished on the lead lap her first race.

No but I was also taught in life to dress for the job you want.

She's wearing a firesuit, the appropriate garb for the job she wants. She's shown at the track, not in a meeting with sponsors.

I don't see any difference between some glitter and a handlebar mustache or a mullet hair style. While tattoos and facial piercings were verboten when I (and I suspect you) was growing up, they're commonly accepted now. Nobody except baseball players wore baseball caps, and only catchers wore them backwards; should drivers take them off?

Times change. So do the standards for dressing for success.

Great post, Charlie. Thanks for writing it. Like others, I've just seen a couple of short interviews... but I like what I see so far. I definitely notice her spark more than the sparkle across her nose and cheeks.

When she came to Carl Long with a package deal she had put together pretty sure he was more concerned with payment. They started out with a one race deal. It went so well this is the third race they are running.

And I'll point out... "Dystany" and "StandOnIt" are almost anagrams!! Hey, has anyone seen Dystany Spurlock and StandOnIt in the same room at the same time? (LOL.)

I've seen less than that but if you show up with a paying sponsor, I suspect most owners wouldn't care if you had a face full of Maori tats and a Road Warrior haircut. If the sponsor doesn't have a problem, why should anyone else?

For all the complaining about drivers with flat personalities, I find a little sparkle lighthearted. It might draw a few young girls to the sport, a demographic I don't see much at the track.

Sorry feel moving to goal posts as to what's acceptable is one of the biggest problems with society.

Btw I'm not singling her out in this. Earlier this year I called Chase out for being unprofessional for wearing his big sunglasses while being up on the stage pre-race for an interview with TV.
