Patrick could follow Montoya to Nascar

No Not Him the Female one.

Patrick, who shot to international attention in 2005 when she became the first woman driver to lead the Indianapolis 500, could leave the Indy Racing League (IRL) at the end of the season to try her luck in the hugely popular U.S-based stock car series.

"I'm trying to get her (into NASCAR)," Danica's father and agent T.J. Patrick told the Chicago Tribune on Monday.

Montoya sent shock waves through the motor sport world on Sunday when it was announced he was leaving McLaren to reunite with car owner Chip Ganassi.


The fiery Colombian won the Indy 500 in 2000 and CART championship in 1999 driving for Ganassi but has never driven in a NASCAR event.

While Patrick does not have Montoya's racing credentials, she would have no less marketing potential for a series seeking to expand it's popularity.

Since her fourth place finish at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the photogenic Patrick has remained the IRL's top attraction but the 24-year-old driver has yet to win a race.

Her contract with the Rahal-Letterman Racing expires at the end of the current season and Patrick's father was at the Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday for NASCAR's Nextel Cup race holding discussions about Danica with several teams
