Not likely. If she does, it's only for money because she would not succeed. First, she has no experience in those types of cars. 2nd, she has not even came anywhere near reaching the level of success in IndyCars that Sam and Dario did. If she goes to NASCAR (and they will throw money at her) then she would be a 100% complete sellout. At least Sam and Dario can say "I won the Indy 500, I won lots of IndyCar races and championships, I want to challenge myself by trying something new." That's a valid argument, but Danica would have nothing but $$$ as an excuse. I don't see it happening. Not until she wins Indy.John in Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585981849299373904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-40282247490628895372009-01-27T07:27:00.000-07:002009-01-27T07:27:00.000-07:00The Dude,Marco's strategist in 2008 was Paul "Zigg...The Dude,<BR/><BR/>Marco's strategist in 2008 was Paul "Ziggy" Harcus.

In her stead, AGR will need to be able to position Marco in a better light to sponsors, and trying to get him some wins is a great way to do that. Danica winning does little to help the team. Marco winning might score some extra cash in 2010.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749862545877406488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-73448387570764399112009-01-27T06:27:00.000-07:002009-01-27T06:27:00.000-07:00Pretty sure Michael has been Marco's race strategi...Pretty sure Michael has been Marco's race strategist for the last few years so they didn't really cut payroll.

Michael may suspect that T.J. is eyeing NAPCAR, Mike wants to help Danica to notch one or more wins this year, hoping to keep her in ICS.<BR/>Perhaps in a private meeting with Mike, her previous strategist threw up his hands said that he couldn't help Whanica any more than he has.

I'm also wondering if everyone else is simply refusing to work with her after dealing with the mouth and attitude for one season each.
