DANICA PATRICK JOINS "TEAM PRESS PASS"
Indy Car sensation and GoDaddy.com spokesperson Danica Patrick will be a part of all 2010 Press Pass NASCAR releases beginning with 2010 Element Trading Cards! Element will feature Danica's Rookie Base Card as well as an insert: 10 in '10 (images of both attached). Element is slated for a January 20th release date. Danica Patrick Memorabilia Cards and On-Card Autograph Cards will be included in releases following Element.
Patrick signed with JR Motorsports last week and will drive a limited Nationwide Series schedule. JR Motorsports is owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick. She will make her stock car racing debut in the Feb. 6 ARCA race at Daytona International Speedway, a day before she'll be featured in a pair of Super Bowl ads for sponsor GoDaddy.com. Her green and orange No. 7 Chevrolet was unveiled in a news conference at Chase Field in Phoenix with GoDaddy.com, which is sponsoring her in both series. Look for a wide array of unique Danica Patrick insert cards from Press Pass throughout 2010!
