Default Danica Patrick and Dale Earnhardt close to singing a deal

http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/rumor...=nascar,200328


IndyCar Racing League driver Danica Patrick is finally going to get a dose of NASCAR. She's apparently very close to signing a two-year deal with the team run by Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: JR Motorsports, according to ESPN.

The negotiations are supposedly "in the final phase" and it will mean that Patrick takes a NASCAR wheel for the first time when next February's Daytona 500 rolls around.

So she'll race full-time for Andretti Green Racing in IndyCar and part-time for JR in NASCAR. Both Earnhardt and Patrick have some sponsorship dollars from GoDaddy.com.

Sports Illustrated was reporting that Patrick was looking to snag $300,000 per race in NASCAR, no mater if it's Nationwide or Camping World Truck Series races. But it's not likely that she's getting that kind of dough.

so what.... she out of a job like the other zillion people in america. other than the fact that she looks good naked (and airbrushed) and draws lots of attention for being a girl, theres not a whole lot of superstar in her. and u know how the nascar boys love to have a girl around. wouldnt you? lol of course someone is gonna sign her.

Going from open wheel to nascar? She’s gonna have the piss beat out of her when she gets on the track with them good ol’ boys. I can see the post race interview now “Like OMG! What was his deal? He kept bumping my car! It was SOO annoying!”
