Janet Guthrie has previously mentioned, when driving in NASCAR vs Indy, " you drive the car, you don't carry it on your shoulders " Key will be to have a competitive car/crew chief and the support Team. More than likely, Danica would also attract sponsorship funding in either ARCA or Nationwide

With declining attendance at the tracks and diminishing TV viewers, which is more of a concern, NASCAR could potentially gain more visibility, which is needed.

While having won only one race, Danica finished 5th in the 2009 standings, highest on Andretti's Team of four drivers and highest of any driver outside of the Penske and Ganassi Teams. Would think that Andretti could sign many other drivers if he wanted to, but attracting the sponsorship dollars was probably a consideration, in addition to the driving capability.
