I would like to see her run a full season in time. However, I think she and her team are approaching things wisely. Their plans at the moment are to run all of the oval tracks next year, and then evaluate a full-season gig. Dollar General may come through and want her to do a full-season next year, which would be nice. If she did commit to a full 2009, I think you're right about needing to do some off-season road work. Dismore's kart track might be a good place to start getting some work. I remember JR saying in his interview how important karting was to the development of road racing skills, especially in the momentum-based IndyCars where power isn't in abundance.

If your gonna race full time you gotta learn to road race. She has the talent. I still can't figure out why she can't get a big time, commited sponsor. I mean, come on, she one of the few women in motorsports that owns her own team. Someone should have snapped up this sponsorship opportunity a long time ago. I really felt for her when she crashed at Indy. I know what it like to lose your only racer. It took me four years(and getting rid of the nagging wife) to get the money to get back racing after I totaled my kart in a crash. When you foot your own bill that kind of thing is devastating.
