Wierd. There was another circle track girl on MTV about her age that actually looked kinda like her last night. She was pregnant tho, and I don't believe this one is. Good for her!

Be honest, you were being nice by mentioning her teeth. You're just trying to distract us from her 5head. I tell you people, a true gentleman he is!

Aww c'mon, she just has braces. You're gonna give teenagers everywhere a complex.

And HiTemp, even if you were 10 years younger she'd still be illegal.

Can't a gal just go win a championship without almost everyone talking about whether or not they'd berkeley her?

No smiley needed. You speak the truth.

Umm... You know, men really are not that hard to figure out. The answer to this shouldn't be that hard

Heh heh you said "hard". Gals ain't hard to figure either, if you're in the mood for figurin'.

I just mean damn, she's friggin' 15 years old winnin' this. That's damn impressive and all you can talk about is this crap? At 15 I would have loved to have the opportunity to even compete in something like that. Even if it means people start talking about my teeth in an inappropriate manner.

Thanks for posting this story Joey Sorry to vent

I don't follow circle track, but this is local to us, so I found it interesting. Feel free to vent.

[...and no, I don't agree with your comment "Gals ain't hard to figure either" You guys are completely unfathomable ]

I'm glad to see this. She did a helluva job. 100 points is a BIG lead!

One of my dirt biking buddy's daughter did quite well in the local small bore MX class a couple years ago, finished 3rd overall IIRC. A local womens' magazine did a nice article on her.

Welcome to Canada comrade. I could do whatever the berkeley I want with her literally

Oh, I crack myself up. But seriously, that picture is going to give me nightmares to night shudders

And in related other news, an 18 year old girl won the Snowball Derby down in Florida. That race usually has some of the best short track drivers on the east coast in it. What is the world coming to? http://www.insideline.com/car-news/snowball-derby-18-year-old-woman-wins-short-track-race.html

I'd say she's significantly better looking, and probably pretty tough.

If you read the article, it's a 300 lap late model race. For those who have never raced circle track, that's a lot tougher than you can imagine.

She can beat me up any day. Giggity gig.

Judging from the posts so far, appparently not.

i think she is going to run Nationwide races next year- in fact, i think she started a few races this year.

To be fair I met Mario Andretti about two years ago and was struck by how well he had aged. I wouldn't go so far as to have relations with him but he is a rather handsome man.

Mean Girls-style comments notwithstanding, I didn't know Civics were used in circle track racing. Badass.

Cool that a 16-year-old girl is interested in something other than texting and facebook.

She was probably texting on the warm up laps
