Danica Patrick is on a roll: after finishing sixth in her ARCA debut last Saturday, she’s decided that banging doors and bump drafting are fun. Her team, JR Motorsports, announced this morning that she’ll be driving the number 7 Go Daddy car in Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series race.
Per Patrick, “The ARCA race was a blast, and I’m not ready for my first Daytona Speedweeks to end just yet. I want more racing.” Patrick started twelfth in last Saturday’s ARCA event and had moved up as far as fifth before finishing in the sixth position.
