Sarcasm Regarding Danica's 2012 Cup Schedule

NASCAR: Danica Patrick confused, needs to call Mike Helton

Danica Patrick has yet to set her 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule.

By: Al Pearce on 9/14/2011

Danica Patrick will run next year's full NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule with JR Motorsports, plus eight to 12 Sprint Cup Series races with Stewart-Haas Racing. But she says she won't finalize her Cup schedule until NASCAR announces the full 2012 calendar--peculiar, since virtually everyone in the garage already has a copy.

"[My sponsor] GoDaddy's input is important [in terms of which Cup races I'll run] and they'll play a part," Patrick said last weekend at Richmond International Raceway. "But they're also respectful enough to understand that I'm the driver and the team owners are drivers. They realize that taking the advice of those around me who've been in the sport a long time is the smart thing to do. [My sponsors] don't stand in the way."

As for waiting for NASCAR to officially release its 2012 Cup Series schedule, she can easily call the organization's Daytona Beach, Fla., offices and ask for NASCAR president Mike Helton. He'll gladly take the call and will be delighted to fax or e-mail her a copy.

Heck, for Patrick, he might even hand-deliver it.

It is my understanding that Danica is actually working with NASCAR to schedule the races SHE wants to run on the dates SHE wants to run them. Has something to do with female conditions that cause extra agressive behaviors at certain times. She wants to be capable of handling Jimmie and Kurt should the situation present itself. As for her demeanor with the press, consider the capable training she is receiving in that regard from her car owner in Cup. There will be much to see on those "Go Daddy" commercials next year would be my bet.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

Ah.... astronomy....

Perhaps dear Danica is not up on the subject....

But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
