Danica Patrick Makes Her NASCAR Debut |
CMR - Danica Patrick, Indy Driver and celebrity sponsor, is making her NASCAR debut today in the ARCA racing series at Daytona. Patrick will start 12th in the field. This will be her first appearance in what will surely be many appearances in NASCAR. Danica has only been running a few practice sessions so she will get her training “on the job” so to speak. Patrick talked of how friendly and helpful everyone has been around her. She got help in drafting from Juan Montoya, who also made the jump from INDY to NASCAR. Patrick said, “”I’ve never spoken to Juan before. He’s a really nice guy. I really liked talking to him and he offered up his help throughout the rest of the year if I want it, whatever I want, so I have a lot to learn from Juan.” This is evidently a departure from the open wheel racers as when she started in the INDY series she talked of how hard it was to get any help from other drivers. Danica Patrick has been up to every professional challenge that has come her way and NASCAR should be no different. ARCA racers should enjoy a lot more attention this year due to all the buzz that Patrick has created.
