In advance of this weekend's Indycar race in Edmonton, Chip Ganassi talked about Danica Patrick. According to Fox Sports, Ganassi said on Friday that he'd "be lying" if he told the media he hadn't talked with Danica Patrick about her plans for next season or wasn't interested in her for the future.
Patrick, who is currently fifth in the IndyCar Series standings, is in the last year of her contract with Andretti Green Racing in the IndyCar Series and is currently weighing her options for 2010.
"Like a lot of teams, they've had discussions and she's on the market right now and she's ready to make the next step in her career — wherever that takes her. I wish I could tell you I'm a lot further down the road on that, but the fact of the matter is, like most other teams, we're at the top of the first inning on that subject. We're on the pace lap here. It's way early."
Ganassi senses that Patrick won't make her decision until the end of the season. He feels that it's premature to assume she'll venture to one series or the other. His initial advice to Patrick is to finish what she started in IndyCar as NASCAR will be waiting in the future.
