“Josh Grant can almost hear the wheels turning when motorcycle fans see him and his Joe Gibbs Racing motocross team getting ready for an AMA Supercross race. Joe Gibbs Racing? Motorcycles? Really? Believe it.” - The NASCAR Insiders: Why Danica Patrick Is Not Coming To NASCAR
Had a post in the can I was working on about this subject, but the NASCAR Insiders pretty much covered what I was going to say. You have to look at the idea of Danica moving to NASCAR as a risk/reward proposition. She has to risk everything she has right now: success, fame, money, popularity, to make the switch to NASCAR. And what’s the reward? A little bit more of all of that? She won’t consider that until she has a decreasing amount of success, money and cover shoots. Less to risk, the reward looks greater. My guess? She resigns with Andretti Green for 2-3 years and then makes the move to NASCAR or F1, whichever has a greater return. - Scene Daily: Michael McDowell replacing Dave Blaney for Talladega in one-race deal
