With Danica Patrick’s contractual obligations running out with Andretti-Green Racing, the media darling is going to get a lot of attention. So, should she become the first woman in NASCAR? Yes. I think it would boost NASCAR’s ratings, which are on a downward spiral. Patrick currently sits 5th in the IRL, Indy Racing League, driver points. She is the most notable name in the racing market.
The switch would prove that ladies could vie for Nationwide Titles.
The thing that I like the most about Patrick is you never know which Patrick will show up. Is it the one that can tangle with you? She may weigh only 100 pounds., but she definitely would be a dose of medicine that NASCAR needs. She could easily take Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s spot. So, while we wait for the Indy Car season to draw to a conclusion, one wonders where this free-agent will wind up.
Will it be another case of the Jr. mistake? Will the IRL’s brightest star shine brightly in a NASCAR world that is filled with doom and gloom over the Jr. puzzle?
