Danica Patrick shifts to NASCAR full time
Bob Parsons could not of had a bigger smile,as he presented Danicia Patrick with her Go daddy racing jacket.
Danica with bob seated next to her,confirmed she was leaving Indy racing top become a full time NASCAR driver.She was very pleased that Go daddy would bring her to NASCAR full time.
The open wheel star is ready to give up the comfort of driving in the top open wheel series [after 7 years].She has had highs and lows although her record is very impressive 1 win 3 poles 5 top twenty finishes and a record 46 running at the finish.
Will she ever achieve the success of Richard Petty Daryl Waltrip,Dale Earnhardt,Jeff Gordon or even Jimmy Johnson we will wait and see if she can bring the buzz and hype and some of her thousands of fans to NASCAR its a good shot in the arm for NASCARs sagging TV ratings to fill a few of the now empty seats.She may be just what NASCAR needs right now if she can have any success at all.Danica has always been a star far beyond her out put drawing lots of press and people.
One thing for sure is when she sets up shop at JR Motor Sports they will need to build a high speed vault to keep up with the 40 plus million in Spencer money that follows her. with that kind of support ,Dale Jr and crew chief Tony Eury JR will have to do more than praise her work ethnic, talent and dedication, they will need to give her a car that can run up front and can win races.
