It looks like Danica Patrick will be working her way into NASCAR after all. She won't be running a "Full" schedule, but she will be running select Nationwide events (Nascar's version of AAA Baseball) this upcoming season.
Patrick signed a deal to be a part of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick's racing team and will Drive the #7 GoDaddy.Com car in the series. The announcement was made in Phoenix, Arizona.

There has been a lot of discussion in the Motor Sports circuits as to whether she will or she won't. Most thought that when she signed her recent deal with Andretti Motor Sports that she was going to stay with the Indy Cars. She obviously will for a period of time, but it seems obvious that she is testing the NASCAR waters. Quite honestly, it's no surprise. There is a limited but devoted group of Indy Car fans...but the races are on the Versus Network and aren't seen by a whole lot of people. By contrast NASCAR offers a considerably larger viewing audience, never mind the 110,000 or so that attend each race.
Enjoy one of Ms. Patrick's finer moments...her argument with Indy Car racer Mika Duno...Thanks You Tube:

I was amazed to find out that Danica Patrick is only 27 years old... she'll probably do fine as a Nascar Driver; she's certainly competitive enough
