Guest woodsnwater Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 ESPN reported Dannica Patrick may be moving to the Nascar circuit. Her contract ends at the end of this racing season and the move is very possible. She would be wise to make this move IMO. Her endorsements would be worth a few $$$ to say the least. I hope she makes the move & does very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? unless she's in my kitchen making me a sandwich and pouring me a cold beer...I could care less what she's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? Danica is actually alot better driver than most women that have ventured into the racing scene. I think she can make a ton of $$$$$ in Nascar just selling shirts and hats because every woman will want to see her win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] LOL I agree,I think she is way better than most other female drivers that have tried NASCAR.She would have no problem getting sponsors either,since she has made a name for herself in auto racing and has proved she can be competative.I would like to see her in a truck.

spyderpancake Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? I don't know how long she would make it. she doesn't seem to cope well with not running up front, and there would be a big learning curve there. I'm also not sure how she would handle that long of a season-she has said previously that that is what has kept her out this long. On the other hand, F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya will become a great NASCAR driver within a few years, i believe. He seems to be a true athlete, choosing a huge pay cut to race something competitive. Great move by Chip Ganassi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? Her Daddy and Financial Advisers met with some Nascar boys in Chicago today ... I would say that is a huge step into the right direction for her ... let alone a lot of publicity for her to ... shes gonna make a fortune as well as make Nascar a fortune.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? NASCAR has a bigger market than Cart or the IRL or whatever the open wheel leagues call themselves these days. She will get more publicily and make more money by making the move to NASCAR. NASCAR would love that move as it too would benefit greatly from having her as more people will tune in to watch and go to the races. Danica has the looks so she would be an easy sell to a sponsor. She is realizes just how big NASCAR is and to boost her career it may be the move she needs to make. Whether or not she can drive the car and win is another story!!

Guest Finn Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? Plus, she's originally from Wisconsin. The more Cheeseheads the better. Danica's Mom worked with a good friend of mine when they were racing snowmobiles up in Eagle River, WI at the World Championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Re: DANNICA PATRICK MOVING TO NASCAR???? One thing I give her Craig when you see her on TV and in interviews, a down to earth girl next door demeanor. I think if she does do it, she might be the one to have multiple wins in a series dominated by men and where women have never really had any great success. I would rather see her in a NASCAR than open wheel myself, too much gadgetry in those cars!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
