Danica makes NASCAR move official
August 26, 2011|BY BILL FLEISCHMAN

IT'S OFFICIAL: Danica Patrick is switching to NASCAR next season.

Patrick will run a full Nationwide Series schedule for JR Motorsports, and a limited Sprint Cup schedule for Stewart-Haas Racing, with intentions of racing a full Cup schedule in 2013.

Patrick, 29, made the expected announcement yesterday at her sponsor's GoDaddy.com headquarters in Phoenix.

"For breaking news that will shock the world . . . I'm excited to finally be able to finally say it," Patrick said.

Commenting on Patrick's decision, Cup driver/co-owner Tony Stewart said: "The thing you see in Danica right away is how determined she is to be good at what she does. She's very dedicated to taking the time and effort to make the transition from IndyCars to stock cars. She has talent, she has the right mindset, and she has the proper drive and determination."
