Ending weeks of speculation, Danica Patrick
has signed an agreement to race for the Andretti Green Indy Race team. No word as to whether she will still pursue getting a NASCAR ride. Snippet: Michael Andretti, Chief Executive Officer, Andretti Green Racing: "Today is an exciting day for everyone at Andretti Green Racing. Danica has shown great talent during her first two seasons in the IndyCar Series and has impressed Kim [Green], Kevin [Savoree] and myself with her development as a driver...
Our focus has been and always will be on winning races and winning championships. We certainly believe Danica will do that. She has made it very clear that one of her goals as a driver is to win the Indianapolis 500 and we are looking forward to giving her a great opportunity to do that."

She's so marketable that it almost doesn't matter if she ever wins.
