Danica Patrick - 2010 Part Time Nationwide Series Schedule

[6 Shooter]

​

Danica Patrick wears open-toed black shoes with very high heels, and her toes are painted maroon.

Although I have written about NASCAR since the early 1980s, I believe that Patrick is the first driver I have interviewed who wears maroon toenail polish. But I can't say for certain because drivers' toenails typically are not exposed.

Patrick, 27, flies into Charlotte on Wednesday. She meets selected Time-Warner Cable customers at the North Carolina Music Factory Wednesday night.

On Thursday she sits in a director's chair on a stage at JR Motorsports. She signed a two-year contract to drive part time for the team in the Nationwide Series.

Next to her is Dale Earnhardt Jr., one of the team's owners. This is fitting. Patrick and Earnhardt are the only drivers who are better known for their celebrity than their racing. No matter how often they win, or how little, their popularity grows.

On Thursday, Patrick is even bigger than Earnhardt. The first three questions at the news conference are for her.

When was the last time Earnhardt attended a news conference with another driver and the first question was not for him? When was the last time Earnhardt attended a news conference with another driver and the first three questions were not for him?

I tell you what, she doesn't have to do much to outdo jr. i'm sure people in nascar wonder is this kid any good at all. We were at Daytona last year and he caused a real bad accident that most drivers would have suspended for a time. some day they both may cause deaths, you watch and see, this is only my humble openion..............................Billy.........................................................

No doubt Ms. Patrick, with her NNS debut, will surprise some, disappoint others and fufill the expectations of a few.

My guess is she will do reasonably well with her limited 10-race Nationwide schedule. If that's the case the big question will come at the end of the season, ie: what will she do next...more Nationwide or a try at Cup.

I just dont see what all the hoopla is about. She's just going to be another obstacle on the track for the real drivers to have to get around.
