Danica apparently not a fan of all the Road courses that IndyCar features now. I'm guessing this will be her last full season of single seaters.

Danica is under a two-year contract with Andretti Autosport, IIRC, so unless she breaks that contract with them, she'll be in IndyCar next year.

Just my expectation - I don't have any insider knowledge but my gut says she will find the dollars and dreams better fulfilled in Nascar

If guys like Franchitti, Hornish, Montoya and others from open wheel struggled in the Tin Cabs, then Danica stands little, if any (and I personally think ZERO) chance to succeed in stock car racing. Besides, she has one win...only one...in any series she has competed in above the go-kart level of racing... Those guys listed above have won multiple races, season championships, and the Indy 500 There is no way she will be even close to competitive in stock cars. JMHO, of course.... |

I'm thinking more along the lines of the "Danica Brand" than the actual results - the Anna Kournikova of racing

She is going to Nascar because Indycar is currently getting very little exposure and Nascar will get her the exposure she needs. Exposure = $$$ |

Enough Danica bashing, get back to the topic and that's the IndyCar Schedule.

Leave the personal attacks out of it, Matt... In one sense, I do see DanicaFan's point...after all, this thread IS about the 2010 schedule... However, Danica's comments in that article, followed by the words of others in posts within this thread did cause me to submit my own thoughts on her possible foray into NASCAR, which I believe would be a disaster based on the reasons that I stated above. FWIW... |

Somebody should learn a lesson from this.
