Danica Patrick has reportedly signed a
three-year contract to stay at Andretti Green Racing and remain in the IndyCar
Series.
The Indianapolis Star reported the agreement Thursday night.
The 27-year-old Patrick, who was third at this year's Indy 500, was reportedly
considering making the move to NASCAR. This is her third season with AGR and
her fifth in the IndyCar Series. She became the first woman to win an IndyCar
race by capturing the Indy Japan 300 in April 2008.
NASCAR driver Tony Stewart said earlier this month that Patrick was seriously
considering making a move to the stock car circuit. Her move to NASCAR would
have likely involved the NASCAR Nationwide or Camping World Truck Series.
Patrick, currently fifth in IndyCar points, is in the final year of her
contract with Andretti Green Racing. She spent her first two years with Rahal
Letterman Racing before moving over to AGR in 2007.
