Patrick To Join Andretti Green Racing
NASCAR will have to wait. That's the word out of Danica Patrick's camp. The 24 year-old racing phenom has signed a new contract with Andretti Green Racing that'll see her continue racing open wheel IndyCars.
Instead of opting to compete in the world's most popular racing series (NASCAR), in front of packed houses and massive television audiences no less, Patrick chose to exercise her talents in the more obscure Indy Racing League.
Can't say I blame her. The IRL racing schedule is but a third of NASCAR's. That equates to a lot more time off a year to actually enjoy the spoils of her racing, marketing and modeling income. While she could certainly have earned a larger payday in NASCAR, how much money does one really require? Kudos to Ms. Patrick for choosing quality over quantity.
