Danica to NASCAR

[Don]

Danica continues to receive positive support regarding her entry into the Nationwide race. While there may be, have not seen any press releases from Teams, drivers etc questioning the decision. NASCAR , Daytona and sponsors will benefit with the increased TV viewing.

Danica has a guaranteed starting position based upon points acquired, a normal NASCAR sanctioned procedure, from a Team, #11 CJM Racing, that finished 15th last year and is not racing this year. Will be interesting if Danica, #7, and Dale Jr, #88, are racing side by side, neither one desiring to relinquish their position.

Taking into consideration, the three being quoted have a vested interest in Danica's success.

Quote from Kelly Earnhart:

"I think Danica proved to everyone that she can compete in stock cars at a high level, and right now seat time is extremely important," Kelley Earnhardt said. "She has worked extremely hard during the past two months for this opportunity. Her dedication and work ethic is infectious."

Quote from Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons

"Danica's got what it takes, and it's obvious from the ARCA race NASCAR is right up her alley," said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. "She's ready to drive the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevy in Daytona and is sure to give the fans an exciting show just like she did in the ARCA race."

Quote: Daytona International Speedway President Robin Braig

"This is great news to hear," Daytona International Speedway President Robin Braig said. "Danica put on a fantastic show for race fans last weekend. From her incredible save in the tri-oval to working her way back through the field to finish sixth, there's not a better place for her to make her first NASCAR start than Daytona International Speedway."
