Danica Patrick still mulling decision on possible jump from IndyCar to NASCAR

Patrick in no hurry to rush decision on future

SPARTA, Ky. — Danica Patrick is in no hurry to make a decision about her racing future.

The IndyCar star is in the final year of her contract with the Andretti-Green Racing team. She has been considering a jump to stock cars and recently toured several NASCAR shops in North Carolina.

Chip Ganassi owns NASCAR and IndyCar teams. He said last week Patrick should stay in the open-wheel series because she’s close to making the last step toward a championship.

Patrick says she’s not surprised by Ganassi’s position, but that won’t affect her decision.
