Danica Patrick in 2012

Will race NASCAR full time. Finalizing a deal to run the whole Nationwide series. I really don't know why I started a thread on this since I'm not a fan, but maybe some of you guys or gals are.

What is everyones thoughts on how she does? I'm not expecting too much from her.

She will probably be in that 8-10 range in points next season.

Im thinking outside the top 15 in points. I really hope she does well enough to stick around for 2 reasons.
1.) I'm a nice guy and don't wish her to fail
2.) her personality would be good for the sport, and I want to see how she is treated once she does one of her stomping around go after another driver pout fests.

She won't have a better chance to win in a stock than she would in Indy.

Good riddance.

The only reason why she would be there would be from the result of the new point system IMO.

Should make watching Nationwide races impossible with sound on.

I wonder how this would affect the sponsorship of #5 car? I doubt Go Daddy would sponsor a full season of Nationwide for her along with 20 or so races in Cup.

Plenty of trim in the pipeline too, so this isn't a loss from that standpoint either.

Google Shannon McIntosh.

I'm curious to see who Andretti eventually hires to replace her, his last two hires seem solid.

it needs to be somebody who can set up a car. right now, he has nobody who can do that.

it's really no surprise their decline coincides with Dario leaving. losing TK only added fuel to the fire.

Good points all. I know TK was their main setup guy the last few years, especially at Indy.
