Bankruptcy attorneys are well aware
of the buzz surrounding Danica Patrick as she awaits her NASCAR debut. But then
it is hardly surprising because Patrick is the most successful female driver in
the history of IndyCar and is also one of the most well-known faces in American
motorsports despite not ever winning a major race.
A Cute Driver
Her move from
IndyCar to full-time stock car racing was one of the biggest pieces of motor
sporting news in 2012. But all this hullabaloo around Danica Patrick has made bankruptcy
attorneys wonder how successful can she be in this new form of racing.
Danica
Patrick in NASCAR: The Reaction All Around
While there are
many who share the attorneys’ concern about Danica Patrick’s NASCAR
performance, there are countless many who are elated at Patrick making a foray
into this form of motorsports. Four-time champion Jeff Gordon is happy to see a
woman enter a predominantly a male bastion and pit her skills against male
drivers. He feels that this competition will prove great for the sport.
Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson too feels the same way. According to him,
given Patrick’s popularity and visibility—courtesy both her driving skills and
the commercials for GoDaddy—she will be able to steer many fans to the sport.
This will augur well for the prospects of NASCAR.
But what about
IndyCar? Was she not successful there, in terms of making money and living her
dream? How upset is that sport in regards to her leaving? Did they offer her
incentives to stay or do they care?
Her Choices
Danica Patrick
is all set to embark on her first full NASCAR season by taking part in the
qualifying races, the Gatorade Duel at Daytona. The bankruptcy attorneys,
skeptical as they are, are however wishing her all the best.
