Danicamania To Stay In IRL- Signs With AGR

From AP via The Gazette: Local racer and fan-favorite Danica Patrick announced Tuesday that she is staying in the Indy Racing League rather than making the switch to NASCAR. Patrick will team with past champ Tony Kanaan and rookie sensation Marco Andretti next year at Andretti-Green Racing.

"Danica has shown great talent during her first two seasons in the IndyCar
Series," CEO Michael Andretti said. "Our focus has been and always will be on
winning races and winning championships. We certainly believe Danica will do
that. She has made it very clear that one of her goals as a driver is to win the
Indianapolis 500 and we are looking forward to giving her a great opportunity to
do that."
