Lead lap for both of the them. Deb took 11th, Tina 12th. Understand that they were running for 5th at one point and dern near crashed each other.
I don't get speed so I didn't see it.

Last couple laps they were running 6 and 7. They got to racing each other instead of staying in line, and finished 11 and12. What a race. They were bangong and boucing off one another. It was a small cat fight on wheels. Those women can race. They held their own during the race, drafted well and paid attention. One problem in the pit for Deborah, a tire got away and she had to go to the end of the lead lap. Worked her way back though. These ladies have a future in racing. Both are good, better than Shawna. I hope they make it to Cup.:beerchug:
THANK you, thank you!!!!! PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

FROM A COLUMN BY LARRY WOODY
TALLADEGA, Ala. — After passing her superspeedway test with a solid 11th-place finish in yesterday's ARCA Series Food World 300, Nashville's Deborah Renshaw set her sights on a bigger target.
She said plans have been finalized for her NASCAR Busch Series debut Oct. 19 at Memphis Motorsports Park, in preparation for a full-time Busch ride next year.
Renshaw, 25, will become just the third woman in history to run full-time in NASCAR's second-tier series, following Patty Moise and Shawna Robinson.
Despite the big news, Renshaw was less than pleased at the end of yesterday's race, won by Keith Segars. Renshaw was running seventh when Tina Gordon, the other female driver in the race, began battling her for position. The side-by-side dicing shoved Renshaw back to 11th and Gordon to 12th.
''Tina was racing like this was a short track instead of Talladega,'' Renshaw said. ''I was very disappointed in those last few laps.''
Renshaw has one more ARCA race this season, next Saturday at Charlotte in the series finale, before turning her attention full-time to her Busch debut with Team Bristol Motorsports.
comments:
Tina took Kasey Kahne out by putting him in the wall coming out of a corner. Then she started bumping Deb. I think Tina can race, but she made some bonehead moves yesterday and ruined her and Deborah's chances for a top ten.

I also think the handling went away on Tina's car. Even alone, going into a corner, she was bad loose.

okay, i'll buy that for the kasey kahne event
but when she was bumping deb, she was turning left right into her-- even got deb on the apron at one point. that was not from being loose.

Oh, no, that's not loose. LOL
That's 2 hard-nosed racers going at each other. Hurt both of them though.

nascar woman,
PLEASE do not be so quick to compare Tina and Deborah with Shawna and say they are both "better than her"
Keep this in mind:
Both Tina and Deborah are in Excellent Equipment, that most of the guys running ARCA would give anything to be in. Shawna was in crappy equipment at best, one of the worst ride you could get right now. Drivers are turning down that ride. You would not find a single ARCA driver that wouldn't love to be in Bob Schacht's car or the 66. Those are good cars.
ALSO, Shawna was driving in WINSTON CUP with Dale Jr, Dale Jarrett, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Bill Elliott, to name a few... and while there are some good drivers in ARCA, there is not nearly the competition you find in CUP, and more importantly-- NOT nearly the MONEY!!!
Shawna never had a fair shot. I doubt Deborah or Tina would do any better in that BAM car. I doubt any driver could. Put Jeff Gordon in the BAM car and Shawna in his ride and let's see. Only then will you know what Shawna can do with a racecar. A REAL racecar.
Just my two cents.

you could tell there was some animosity in both race cars, they should have lined up and tried to draft back to the lead pack, instead they battled side by side and lost a ton of positions. they were getting passed on both sides.

That was very exciting to watch..... and very disappointing at the same time. Renshaw and Gordon were both in position to finish well, but for some reason Gordon thought it wiser to race Renshaw side by side, and banging on her car. It reminded me of nothing more than a silly school girl fight.... entertaining, but they both always loose.
