From NASCAR.com:
"Dressed in a white blouse and black jeans, the 35-year-old Patrick declared her intentions to transition after a historical six-year full-time career in NASCAR preceded by a headline-making seven-year full-time stint racing in the IndyCar series."
I read the article covering Dale Earnhardt's retirement on NASCAR.com and there was no mention of what he was wearing. Funny thing there...

I watched her interview... Danica brought a lot to the sport of racing... she said she will compete in the Daytona 500 & Indy 500 next year... I for one will miss her appearances in the racing circles...
Best of luck .. Danica in your future endeavors ...

I am sad. Sad for all those employees who make the yellow flags for NASCAR. I am sure they will be laying off most of them now that Danica is gone.

I would not have called her a "big name" in any event. Except for several crashes I haven't heard her name mentioned during a race in a bunch of weeks.

Her statement that she will only race the Daytona 500 and the Indy 500 next season is just a plan. She has nothing to announce yet as to what teams she will drive for. It hasn't been worked out yet.

I sure hope that her plan to return to run Indy is just her wild imagination. Her leaving Indycar for Nascar was the best thing in open wheel racing in decades.
Best moment in Danica's Indycar career was Milka Duno slapping her across the face with a shop rag. Twice.
Good riddance.

NASCAR is failing ,a little more every day. They have forgotten who pays thier bills just like the NFL. They have an uphill battle if the management is willing to try ?
I used to enjoy watching NASCAR ,now I turn the channel. NFL, I turn the channel.
Stop the diversity crap and race cars!

There are only a few names that the rest of the world (apart from fanatics) has heard of in US NASCAR, Rincon. Names like Busch and Keselowski. Danica Patrick is one of the few, so she’s definitely a big name outside the US.
