Auto racing: Stewart: Danica will eventually wind up in NASCAR
Associated Press
HAMPTON, Ga. — Tony Stewart says he's convinced that Danica Patrick will eventually make the jump to NASCAR.
Stewart says today that he knows Patrick has talked with "a lot" of NASCAR teams about moving to stock cars. The two have talked frequently about the IndyCar driver's future. He said there's little doubt she wants to race in NASCAR some day.
Stewart says he doesn't have a Sprint Cup job for Patrick, since he'll remain a two-car operation in 2010. But he doesn't think she'll jump to the top-level series right away, perhaps working a deal to spend a year or two driving a Nationwide car while still racing in the Indy series.
