Official: Danica Patrick comes to NASCAR

After months of speculation and rumors, we now have the official facts, Danica Patrick will drive NASCAR next season in the Nationwide Series for Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his JR Motorsports. She’ll be racing the colors and sponsorship from GoDaddy.com in the #7 Chevy.

Danica will drive a partial schedule next season plus one ARCA Series race at Daytona on February 6th. Her schedule will be all over the map, before, after, and even during the IndyCar Series calendar.

Danica is the only woman to ever win an IndyCar race at Twin Ring Motegi Japan, but has only tested a Nationwide Series car once back in 2002, so it should be interesting as she comes to NASCAR.
