Any legitimacy to the rumors...or just hype?
INDIANAPOLIS (July 10) - First, it was Formula One driver Juan Pablo Montoya. Now America's top female driver, Danica Patrick, is considering competing in NASCAR.
The Orlando Sentinel reported Patrick's father, T.J., was having exploratory discussions with some NASCAR teams and attended Sunday's race in Chicago as the guest of Roush Racing.
Roush team president Geoff Smith said the team gave Patrick's family members passes as a favor but had not had any serious discussions of adding Patrick to the team.
"If she's interested, all they have to do is pick up the phone," Smith said. "But they haven't picked up the phone."
The report fueled speculation on the first of three days of testing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway that Patrick, whose contract with Rahal Letterman Racing expires after this season, could be leaving the Indy Racing League for NASCAR.
