Monday morning, Danica Patrick ventured forth on her GoDaddy news tour, proclaiming the good news of her new sponsor and her new deal with Andretti Autosport. All well and good, though many were hoping that she would say something about her possible plans to race in NASCAR as well as IndyCar.
She didn't ... but her website just may have let a little secret out.
Several astute observers, including one commenter on our morning Danica post, took note of the fact that Danica's icon on her website, the one pictured on the left, was wearing a firesuit with a Chevrolet logo -- curious in that she drives Honda for IRL.
Ah, but look closer at the image on the left, screen-capped by The Sporting News. On her right shoulder is what looks like the NASCAR Nationwide Series logo, and on her left shoulder, that really looks like the JR Motorsports logo, pictured at right for comparative purposes.
In what I'm sure is a total coincidence, Danica has been in active talks to join JR Motorsports and run a partial Nationwide season in 2010.
The image was swiftly yanked and replaced by the IRL-centered one at right. Make of this what you will, but it sure looks like somebody spilled the beans a bit early. Hope they've still got a job. Danica, for her part, looks like she's already got two lined up for next year.
