Everyone’s favorite racecar driver is back in the news, generating buzz over her rumored move to NASCAR.  She sparked these rumors some time ago by informally meeting with several teams after her Indy contract with Andretti Green Racing expired.

Now the rumor mill is in overdrive as a two-year deal with Dale Earnheardt Jr’s JR Motorsports team is likely in the works.  Though ESPN reported that the two were close to an agreement, Earnheardt is saying that there are still plenty of other teams interested in her driving skills.  He also asserts that her presence would be a plus, saying, “She will be good for NASCAR, whoever gets her.”

If a deal is reached, Patrick will be racing for both Indy and NASCAR as she has already signed a three-year contract extension with AGR.  The official announcement is expected to come in December.  Though there has been no confirmation, many are suspecting that she will drive her IRL IndyCar full time and drive a Nationwide car when IRL isn’t racing.

She is the only woman to win an IndyCar race, and her appeal is a sponsor’s dream.  All racing fans will be waiting with baited breath for a conclusion to this story.  In the meantime, have a little fun at BetUS as they are offering some sporting specials on Danica Patrick’s career in 2010.  These include:
