Is Danica Patrick Going To NASCAR?
We have all heard it floating around the rumor mill. The Go Daddy girl (or would she prefer to be called race car driver?) might go from open wheels and road courses to fenders and left turns only. If you ask Danica Patrick if she is thinking about switching from IRL to NASCAR, she isn’t going to say much though. She’s going to throw it all back into the lap of her agents.
And she is actually being smart by not saying anything. In fact, if you take her words at face value it seems as if she doesn’t care one way or another. She just wants to race! She is letting her agents take car of what and where she will be doing the racing.
And this is probably good because she has to be concerned with branding. Whether you like it or not, Danica Patrick has become a brand. She is no different than some of the biggest names in sports. She is right up there with Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Payton Manning. How many Go Daddy commercials have we seen her in? What’s next? Maybe we’ll see her shilling for Pepsi or Bank of America next! After all, the big money is in the sponsorships, not the racing!

Frankly, I don’t care where Danica Patrick races, I’ll be watching. This lady is hot! I’ve been following her career since the beginning and love her photo layouts as much as her TV appearances in races. Rock on, Danica!

Yeah, some how I think being referred to as the “Go Daddy” Girl would be something Danica Patrick would not be psyched about. Mostly because that’s something that’s plastered all over her and might imply you’re not seeing her as a professional race driver.

Endorsements really are where its at; I remember everyone was talking after Rihanna got beaten up about the fact that she might lose CoverGirl and they are the ones paying the bills. Or maybe it’s billz now, I don’t know!

Yeah, I agree with that. They more with the sponsorships and not the racing. It’s a good think Danica Patrick is not like some athletes who keep talking the talk. Good for her!

I love Danica Patrick! I always buy the stuff she endorses. That’s how much I love her.

That’s amazing! I’m glad women like her get to represent, well, women all over the world in a world dominated by men in the past. Good for her!

Yeah, I can’t wait to see her in action. Keep us updated! I’d love to know more about her.
