IRL superstar Danica Patrick is exploring the possibility of moving to the NASCAR circuit for the 2007 season, according to sources in the Orlando Sentinel.
T.J. Patrick, who is Danica’s father and manager, has confirmed that he has been in exploratory talks with various NASCAR teams looking into the possibility of moving his daughter to the more popular circuit. T.J. was at the Chicagoland Speedway this past weekend while the NASCAR circuit was in town looking into the possibilities. According to Patrick a move to NASCAR was an idea they have always had for Danica and would be a smart move for her career.
Danica Patrick’s contract with Rahal-Letterman Racing team ends in at the end of the current IRL season, so a move to the closed wheel circuit could come sooner than later.
According to sources at the Sentinel Bev and T.J. Patrick were seen as guest and talk talking to members of the Roush Racing team. While co-team owner Bobby Rahal declined comments about the Patrick’s visit, it is obvious that the wheels are beginning to churn.
