To add onto that... obviously I'm a big NASCAR fan, but I worked in the industry for a little while when I started college. I don't work in the industry any more, but I remain friends with a lot who do. That's where I got some of the information from that isn't readily out there.
When it comes to Danica Patrick, she will be racing in a JR Motorsports car next year sporadically. Race possibilities are Daytona, Phoenix, Texas, etc. Mark my words
