Danica Patrick will race in the NASCAR K & N Pro Series East at Dover International Speedway in the Sunoco 150 on September 24th. She will be driving the #83 JR Motorsports entry. Race takes the green flag at 4:45pm Eastern on Friday, the 24th. This gives her some preparation for the Nationwide race at Dover on Saturday.
She of course will be in the #7 GoDaddy.com car for JR Motorsports on Saturday, September 25th for the Nationwide Series Dover 200. This race is at 3pm Eastern.
Go Danica!
Old news, my friend. We all knew this quite a long time ago. By the way, you never let me know if you wanted me to get the name of the billboard company for you.
So this means she'll have a whole extra day to get into the wall at the Monster Mile.
Oh, and to head off a possible excuse ahead of time, jet lag from Japan is not an acceptable excuse for performance
Danica racing does not equate.
Danica driving does.
since when is this news :rolleyes:
It's good news. I bet she does very well. Look for a top 5 from her.
She might do fairly well. She is in a top car in a 4th rate series. Mind you there are a lot of very hungry real racers at that level who will not hesitate to trade a little paint.
She no longer seems 'hungry' and usually will not race hard.
and you are wrong againQuote:

Sound familiar to anyone?
Some of the equipment in that series is hardly at the level of Nationwide, and many of the drivers are either very young development drivers, or old grizzled veterans running good, but not state of the art cars that probably wouldn't be competitive in Nationwide. But 6th looks good on paper and she didn't clobber the wall, so it should have been good experience. But if she found 150 laps to be long, the 200 for Nationwide will seem like a eternity.
