God didn't create woman to do what men can do
He created women to do what men can't do.
And the other way around. Flame away.....

We are meant to complement each other
(Note: the whole conversation is more convoluted and messy than I wish it had to be)
I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I also think being respectful while appreciating our differences is one of the biggest missed opportunities or subjects when it comes to diversity. I also believe that it is possible to enthusiastically celebrate the obvious differences in males and females while also being fair-minded and supportive. I wouldn't want to live with any other mindset.
I also don't want to put words in your mouth or try to speak for you and I am not trying to accuse you of the following, I just think some clarification is needed.
I would avoid any absolute approaches, I don't envision a racing world with 50 % of the drivers ever being women. It isn't as simple as trying to break it all down by physical abilities or cultural limits either. I can't prove it, but I just don't think females in general are as likely to want to be race car drivers. I think that is the biggest part of the biological differences in this context.
Just hear me out. I also can't imagine a world where there aren't some women that would like to race. I also think some of them could and will eventually win at the highest level. I have tried to avoid the numbers or quota type of driven stuff but there is some significance. Someday, somewhere, a woman will eventually break through somewhere and win at the cup level, but there are no quick instant solutions. I think it will only happen after lots of hard earned opportunities have been provided.
As for physical capabilities. I am not sure that men are any more physically equipped to drive a race car. In terms of physical conditioning, I would believe that Danica was in better cardio condition and had better endurance than most of her Nacsar peers. I would have bet on her in a triathlon against most.
I also think women have the right to compete in Nascar. The sponsors are king and queen makers, and there is a huge opportunity for female drivers to be sponsored by and to advertise for those queen makers.
