danica will not drive for tony in 2010
According to the Indianapolis Star, Danica Patrick has signed a three-year contract to remain with Andretti-Green Racing in the IndyCar Series. The contract, which was said to be signed last week in Japan, will keep Patrick in the No. 7 Motorola car after a summer full of rumors that the open-wheel sensation would make her way to the NASCAR circuit next season.
However, as the Indianapolis Star also reported Thursday night, Patrick still has options in the Sprint Cup Series for next season.
According to Tony Stewart, who said he has been mentoring Patrick in her talks to come to the sport as he did a little more then a decade ago, he believes that she will be racing a part-time schedule in the Nationwide Series, Camping World Truck Series and the ARCA RE/MAX Series before making a transition to the Cup Series full-time.
“I know that she’s serious about it (coming to NASCAR)," Stewart said at Richmond earlier this month. "She’s come over and just talking for things right now. I know that’s what she wants so do. She looked me straight in the eye and said this is what I want to do -- it looks like fun, looks like a lot of work, but it looks like fun.
"I don’t think she has some misguided idea that it’s going to be easy doing it. She wants to do it the right way, she has the intentions of doing everything right and she’s kind of come to us to see our opinion about how she should go about it.”
Stewart, who is a first-year team owner in the Sprint Cup Series, said at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last weekend that Patrick would not be driving for their team next season.
Currently fifth in IndyCar Series points, Patrick is out of championship contention in the series. In 80 career IndyCar starts, she has one win, 16 top-fives, 46 top-tens and three poles. Her only career win came at Japan last year, making her the first female to win a race in the IndyCar Series.

She did this a couple of years ago. Some how, there was rumors going around that she would come to nascar. Then she got offered a huge contract.
Same thing happens again??? Makes you think that the Danica ppl are starting the rumors that way Danica will have a bigger contract.
In the past, Danica did say that she does not ever want to race in Nascar.
