Danica Patrick to NASCAR…Hendrick Motorsports?
Rumors are running rampant that Danica Patrick is going to jump from IndyCar to NASCAR. Is this a negotiating tactic with Andretti Green Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing? Or is she seriously considering a move to stock car racing. One must wonder why the poster child of IndyCar Racing would take the risk and make a move to NASCAR, which undisputedly, is crumbling as I speak. I can image NASCAR dangling HUGE financial incentives and prepackage endorsements, but why take the risk?
The Death Spiral Continues….NASCAR on Fox
According to Sports Media Watch, FOX has its lowest rated NASCAR season ever.
A year of declines has concluded with FOX drawing its lowest average rating for NASCAR since the net began airing races in ’01.
Excluding the rain delayed Coca Cola 600, 12 NASCAR races averaged a 5.1/11 rating and 8.5 million viewers on FOX during the 2009 season, down 11% in ratings and 9% in viewers from a 5.7/12 and 9.3 million last year, and the lowest rated season ever for NASCAR on FOX.
