Are Danica’s days at AGR and the IRL numbered?

The SPEEDTV.com website has the following posted that raises some serious doubts about Danica Patrick's relationship with AGR long-term:

There have been some strange goings-on taking place over there the last two months. After Chicagoland, Danica cryptically referred to an impending announcement from AGR on her fan website which led to the logical speculation that AGR would be running A1GP and Danica would be driving the first race. Then about a week prior to the opening race at Zandvoort the posting on Danica’s website was pulled down and Charlie Kimball was hired for a “1 and Done" effort. Shortly after Zandvoort, Michael Andretti was quoted in a press release on A1GP’s website that both Danica and Marco would drive in A1GP for the season. Now over the weekend a story was published on Indycar.com stating that Marco would be driving the remainder of the season for Team USA. Then the story published on A1GP’s website quoting Michael Andretti’s statement saying Danica would participate in A1GP is then removed.

Now factor in the events of November 8-9 when Andretti Green tested former Formula 1 driver Frank Montagny for an unlikely 5th seat at the very same time that Danica and Pop just so happen to show up at Phoenix to “take in" a Nationwide Series race. If you remember back to the season Michael made an 11th hour blockbuster offer to keep Tony Kanaan. Did Michael make the decision to break the bank to keep TK knowing he would have to pay for it with other decisions? Would one of those decisions happen to be tossing Danica overboard after the 2009 season? It was stated in June that AGR and Danica would be opening talks for a new contract. In August Danica said she was happy where she was. Now we have actions that give the appearance of public posturing by both sides.

While Danica brings a lot of sponsorship to the team she is far from the fastest driver. At the end of the day open wheel racing should be about winning, not looking pretty. NASCAR will probably make a play for her pretty face in 2010 when her AGR contract is over. With NASCAR's excellent TV package a lot more people will be exposed to Danica than with the IRL Versus deal, so Danica can demand a lot more money from her personal sponsors if she were in NASCAR.
