Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Managing Editor David Abbott has the opportunity to visit PSCC Logging, Clearing & Tree Service, LLC in Lexington, South Carolina. Back in February this year racing legend Richard Petty caused a stir with comments he made about female driver Danica Patrick: When asked if she ever had a chance of winning a Sprint Cup race, he replied: “Only if everybody else stayed home.” To be fair, Petty was making an appraisal of Ms. Patrick’s driving skills specifically, not necessarily a broader commentary on the relative merits of female drivers. Still, it sounded sexist, and it made a good narrative for the media to spin. And whether the King meant it that way or not, doubtless there is no shortage of fans who do hold the opinion: NASCAR is a man’s world, no girls allowed (not behind the wheel, anyway). Likewise, there are undoubtedly those who might think something similar about logging, another traditionally male-dominated profession.
