IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick has recently signaled her intention to run a few Nationwide races next year and give NASCAR a try, hoping to ink a deal soon with JR Motorsports. The road between the two circuits, though not well-traveled, has seen some success, including Tony Stewart, who ran nine Nationwide races in 1996 and five more in 1997 when he won the IRL championship. The following year, Stewart raced 22 Nationwide events for Joe Gibbs Racing while completing the full IRL schedule before moving to Cup in 1999. Say what you will about her abilities, but she's sure to bring even more attention to the sport. Move over, boys. Lady coming through.
