Patrick and NASCAR? Danica Patrick doesn't want to go to NASCAR. Too many races, too much to learn, too many demands, etc. But in the end, it's all about the money. And Patrick knows all too well that NASCAR has most of it. "Obviously, one of the big draws with NASCAR is money," Patrick said. "You can make a lot of money. It's a much bigger schedule, but again, they make that much more money. At some point in time, you have to think about that." Despite the lack of stock car experience, half a dozen NASCAR teams would hire her today if she opted to head in that direction. Patrick + Cup car = $$$$. Patrick's biggest problem with Nextel Cup is the grueling 38-race schedule. The series has three open weekends from February until the end of November.(in part from the Dallas Morning News)(6-11-2006)
