What's behind patrick's jump to Michael Andretti's team?
Like her or not, Danica Patrick has been the fresh face and voice of Indy car racing since she burst onto the scene with last year's dramatic showing at Indianapolis.
Not only has Patrick taken open-wheel racing to Hollywood premieres and to the talk-show scene in New York, she has gone mainstream in most points in between.
Lately, in the midst of settling her next contract, things have gotten challenging for Patrick and her relationships with others. Through May she had to hide her professional courtship with Andretti Green Racing, and her ability to communicate with Rahal Letterman Racing recently has suffered. Then her father T.J. went public at a NASCAR race at Chicagoland Speedway with his desire to see her switch to stock cars.
All of those emotions came to a head at June's race in Milwaukee when she frankly got curt with reporters.
"I just don't have anything new to say, and I like to say new things,'' Patrick said in a huff after another disappointing qualifying run. "Unfortunately, my lips are sealed.''
