IndyCar Series
Danica Patrick — Ready for Nascar 2010
Saturday, January 30th, 2010 | NASCAR, Sports | 1 Comment
Danica Patrick and her JR Motorsports team have announced that she will run at least 12 Nascar races in 2010. It is unclear if she will race in the Nationwide Series opening race at the Dayton International Speedway on Saturday February 13, 2010. It will likely depend on how well she fares in her 1st stock race – scheduled for the week before in the ARCA race at Daytona. Here’s what Patrick had to say about her upcoming 2010 schedule – “Like I’ve said before, we just want to be smart and calculative about this process. The tracks we’ve selected not only complement the IndyCar schedule, but will give me quality seat time at a variety of facilities.”
If she decides to skip the February 13th race at Daytona, she will make her NASCAR debut the following week in Fontana, California. Then she will race on February 20th in Las Vegas before taking time off to focus on the IndyCar Series. Her next NASCAR race after that will be at the end of June in New Hampshire. She will make appearances across the country though, so you should be able to catch her wherever you live – Chicago in July; Michigan in August; Dover, Delaware in September; California and Charlotte in October; and Texas, Phoenix and Florida in November.
With that schedule, she is going to need a long vacation in December to recuperate. Based on the schedule, it doesn’t sound like she’ll have a huge impact on the NASCAR landscape, but if she does well and is welcomed by other drivers and fans alike, we could see her add some more races in 2011. Her sex appeal doesn’t hurt either. Stay tuned NASCAR fans…
