Danica Patrick will announce her decision to drive a part-time Nationwide Series schedule for JR Motorsports in 2010 today in Phoenix, according to multiple sources.
GoDaddy.com, which is handling the announcement at a noon press conference, sent out a media alert late Monday afternoon.
Last month it was reported that Patrick was in the final stages of negotiations with JRM to compete in about a dozen races in a No. 7 — her number in IndyCar — Chevrolet with GoDaddy.com as the sponsor.
The GoDaddy.com sponsorship will be only for the races in which Patrick drives, sources said. JRM continues to look for sponsors for the No. 88 that will be driven by Kelly Bires and any remaining races for the second car.
When Patrick announced her three-year extension with Andretti Autosport last week in New York a picture appeared on her Web site with her in a NASCAR fire suit bearing a JRM and other NASCAR-related logos. It quickly was removed.
The plan is to enter Patrick in the ARCA Series opener in February at Daytona International Speedway and get her approved by NASCAR for the Nationwide race.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick, the co-owners of JRM, have made no secret they are pursuing Patrick.
"She's going to drive stock cars for somebody, someday," Earnhardt recently said. "It's just too much of a — look at all the Formula One guys over here checking [NASCAR] out — the writing is on the wall for her and several other guys. I think it's exciting. She would be great for our sport. She wants to see what's up."
