Very pretty lady less than average race car driver.

Racing is life... anything else is just waiting.
So far, there are no takers for putting her in a car for either race. Roger Penske and Chip Ganassi are the only two owners who run IRL and NASCAR programs. Penske shot her down right off the bat and made a joke suggesting that Chip had the ball in his court. After some brief discussions, Chip has now backed away too. If she wants to write a personal check, I'm sure that she could buy a ride in either or both races, but it's doubtful that it would be with a top team.
To be clear, I don't hate Danica. But after seeing her race very early on in her career, I felt that she had a good amount of raw racing talent that could be refined if she chose to work for it. But she chose fame & fortune (and upping her Q rating) over developing and refining her race craft, knowledge and skills. Because auto racing is a sport (THE sport) that I have the utmost respect for, I lost respect for her, because of her lack of desire to become a real racer. Prior to the NASCAR move, she suggested that she had options in both NASCAR and F1. Nothing was further from the truth. She had no options in F1, simply because she didn't have, and couldn't get, the necessary FIA Super License - mainly because she hadn't accomplished enough in a top tier series. One needs to win a championship in some upper series, or at least be very highly placed for two or three seasons. Winning a lone IRL race (on an oval, at that), doesn't do it for F1.
So now, in her mid 30's, she's got a list of accomplishments (all marked with an * and the word female beside them) and a very decent amount of money, considering her overall lack of success in professional racing. So, IMO, a cute girl, who some of us on an old racing board used to compare to India Summer. There's even a site that lists the various porn/adult actress Danica doppelgangers. But India is now in her early 40's, and I'd still have to say that she's smoking hot vs. luke warm for Danica. Just a personal opinion though.
IMO, this photo set represented the beginning of the end of her being a true, real deal racing driver, and not just a cute girl racer who could ride a wave of popularity known as DanicaMania:
Good luck to her in life. But I'm damn happy not to have to hear her whine out excuses about why she finished 25th in a 10th place car. Sounds like Ricky Stenhouse (eventually) felt the same way.

Danica Patrick arrives in Daytona to prepare for her final NASCAR race, the Feb. 18th Daytona 500.
She'll be with a backmarker NASCAR team, Premium Motorsports, so expectations are low. But at least she'll get to race. Assuming she can work a deal with an IRL team, most likely she'll be with a backmarker team at Indy too. The new Indy cars are quite different from the last ones that she drove several years ago, in that they are not as nailed to the track as that spec was. The goal that the IRL was going for was to create a spec that required the driver to have to handle the car, not the other way around... somewhat harder to drive. Danica has typically had the best results in IRL Indy cars that displayed little oversteer and were not "tail happy"... somewhat easier to drive. If she can work a deal for Indy, we'll see how she does.
