A picture named Danica_patrick_sm.jpgRobby Gordon says Danica Patrick's weight (100 lbs.) is an unfair advantage in the Indianapolis 500 and said Saturday he will not compete in the race again unless the field is equalized.

"The lighter the car, the faster it goes," Gordon said. "Do the math. Put her in the car at her weight, then put me or Tony Stewart in the car at 200 pounds and our car is at least 100 pounds heavier.

Gordon explained "If we don't draw the line here, it's only a matter of time before the racing world is swarming with midgets. Anorexic, female midgets. Or worse, buggy-eyed midget babies with good reflexes."

Asked why he had not complained about the penis equipped pole winner Tony Kanaan's 50 lbs. weight advantage, Gordon explained "It' different. Tony's a guy. We go way back. With Danica - well, it's just unfair. No way I can suck in my gut all 500 miles."
IRL not ready to measure Danica's weight advantage. The IRL does not consider the weight of the driver in its race specifications. While cars must weigh a minimum of 1,525 pounds before the fuel and driver are added, drivers are not weighed.
Gordon's response to the IRL was swift. "If there's one thing I've learned being a Republican it's this: if the rules work against you, call your opponent a cheater and change the rules."
