Patrick staying on with Andretti Autosport (PA SportsTicker)
November 30, 2009
By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer
Danica Patrick has signed a three-year extension with Andretti Autosport.
Her NASCAR future? Still unclear.
Patrick and Andretti Autosport owner Michael Andretti announced the deal Monday on “Good Morning America.”
Patrick signed with the team before the 2007 season and became the first woman to win an IndyCar Series race at the 2008 Japan Indy 30.
Andretti Autosport recently underwent a restructuring, changing the company name from Andretti Racing Green after Michael Andretti bought the team from Kim Green.
Patrick is reportedly working on a deal that would partner her on a limited Nationwide Series schedule with JR Motorsports, the team owned by both Hendrick and Dale Earnhardt Jr., but no announcement was made.
