IndyCar driver Danica Patrick confirmed Tuesday that she would consider moving to NASCAR, but said it’s more likely to happen later in her career, after she tries again to win the Indianapolis 500.
“I do have some interest for [NASCAR], for sure,” Patrick told the Los Angeles Times. “I would definitely have to consider it.”
Asked whether her move from the Indy Racing League, where she became an instant sensation as a rookie in 2005, could happen as early as next year, Patrick replied, “I wouldn’t say it’s that big of a chance for next year, but I’d say it’s a fairly larger chance in the future.”
Meanwhile, Juan Pablo Montoya, who will drive the No. 42 Dodge for Chip Ganassi in Nextel Cup next year, was released by his Formula One team, McLaren Mercedes.
