Danica finalizing NASCAR deal with JR Motorsports, Stewart-Haas Racing
08/02/11 One of the people says the talks also include her continuing to run the Indianapolis 500.
08/02/11 Danica Patrick is finalizing a deal to run a full Nationwide Series schedule for JR Motorsports and a partial Cup schedule with Stewart-Haas Racing next season, according to The Associated Press.
JR Motorsports spokesman Mike Davis and Patrick agent Mark Dyer both declined to comment on the report.
It has been widely speculated that if Patrick moved from IndyCar to NASCAR full-time, she would run the full Nationwide schedule for JRM, where she has run partial schedules the last two years with sponsorship from GoDaddy.com.
She also is expected to compete in select Sprint Cup races with Tony Stewart’s Stewart-Haas Racing, according to the AP.
