Breaking News! Patrick in NASCAR!

EDIT: oops, forgot linky

AP source: Patrick reaches NASCAR deal - NASCAR - Yahoo! Sports

 

[Michael James]

Where is the article?

 

[David24]

Hard to believe.

 

[moppenheimer]

Despite how "iffy" this source is, this is what everyone has expected for months now....She'll suck in a stockcar. She has zero experiance in heavy cars, and isn't that good in what she currently drives.....This is all media and sponser hype

 

[Janitor Dave]

Someone posted this in the comments section and I LOL'd.

"Next thing ya know we'll have the tampax 500....oh brother... "

 

[3fan]

Great, thats just what we need another freakin Open-Wheeler.:arghh:

 

[Janitor Dave]

Don't worry man... maybe she'll be gone once someone turns her around.

MEGA BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!


what really nailed it was this internets fail a week back

AND OOPS While IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick talked only about her non-NASCAR plans Monday morning, a photo on her Web site might have said more about her possible NASCAR plans than she did. The website had a picture of her as her Web site loaded that showed her in a GoDaddy.com uniform with a Chevrolet emblem and what appears to be a JR Motorsports logo and the Nationwide Series logo. The photo was later changed to her IndyCar Series uniform. The picture was small and only appeared on the screen for a few seconds. A representative of IMG, which represents Patrick, declined comment, and a JRM spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment (SceneDaily), many readers captured and sent the image, which is posted on my Misc Drivers page - Danica Patrick section.(11-30-2009)

(here is the pic Jayski's® NASCAR Silly Season Site - Team News and Links - MISC Drivers News )

This has been confirmed for months, I honestly wish the media would have called their bluff and said "We know it's happening so we don't care till you make the announcement".

As far as how she'll do... There have been drivers in stockcars that were amazing, but yet sucked in other forms of racing, there have been drivers that rocked in other forms of racing yet sucked when they came to stockcars, and vice-versa for both of them. For all we know the extra "security" of knowing that your not going to get in the head by debris, and that the suspension won' t break and send you airborne with one bump, may just be enough extra security to fit the driving style that she couldn't show in open-wheel cars.

Great, thats just what we need another freakin Open-Wheeler.:arghh:

Umm Most NASCAR drivers come from an open-wheel background, either Karts, Sprints/Midgets, or Modifieds.

Plus a Racecar is a Racecar. 4 wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel.

I was waiting for it to go public....I knew that a week or two ago....pays to be her friend on Facebook...lol. She is going to drive the #5 Godaddy Car.

Yippy

 

[MattSRD28]

Not to get all nitpicky, but it's not official until the official announcement is made.

The official annoucement should come sometime later today.

 

[sonicGriff]

I guess this is true. They have been going back and forth for weeks.

Yahoo had this in the breaking news box like it was official but it's really just an announcement that there will be an announcement. :LOL:

 

[JMH714]

Its official now. She will be in #7 car both ARCA and Nationwide with GoDaddy.com sponsor and Eury Jr. will be her crew chief. Her first race will be at Daytona in ARCA and she's already approval by NASCAR to run Nationwide and Camping World Trucks.

 

[Bucket]

Has anyone else noticed that Mark Day has been showing up to the races lately?

 

[Clutch]

Well, at least now we have a competitor that teenagers can perv over.

Thats why the sport needs guys like Mark Day.

first: Patrick to nascar
next: Patrick finishes first Nationwide race
later: Patrick to cup
then: Patrick Marries Dale Jr./Redneck woman weep
Last: Jr. divorces Patrick

Thats my guess

then: Patrick Marries Dale Jr./Redneck woman weep
Last: Jr. divorces Patrick

Thats my guess

My guess,

first: DP takes green flag
second: DP wrecks turn 3
third: 20 replays of DP crash, followed by 2-4 commercials with DP in them


In a way though, I don't mind. DP is better to look at than Jr...

She will now replace Jr as the most over publisized person in commercials.

...and, Jr will now get a run for his money in the Most Popular Driver Award.

My guess,

first: DP takes green flag
second: DP wrecks turn 3
third: 20 replays of DP crash, followed by 2-4 commercials with DP in them

30 since it will be on ESPN
