Danica Jumps to NASCAR

     The worst kept secret in motorsports was

made public today... Danica Patrick will be moving
to NASCAR fulltime in 2012. She has been running
some races on a part-time schedule when it fit
her Indy car schedule. It will be a joint partnership
that provides cars for her. JR Motorsports, owned 
by Dale Earnhardt, Jr, will provide race cars for the
Nationwide series, and Stewart-Haas Racing, owned
in part by Tony Stewart, will be providing cars for
the Sprint Cup level of competition. Danica has yet
to drive in the premier series of NASCAR, and most
experts seem to think next February's running of the
Daytona 500 would be the perfect stage for her to
make her entrance into the series. Go-Daddy, the
website giant, will provide sponsorship for Danica
at both levels of racing. She has shown a great deal
of improvement in the Nationwide races this season
compared to last year. Danica told a press conference
she would be racing full time in the Nationwide series
and would be participating in select Sprint Cup races
until ownership thinks she is ready to compete on a
full time basis..
