Danica Patrick sidesteps questions about expiring contract, future with Andretti Green and IRL

Danica Patrick sidesteps questions about future

JOLIET, Ill. — Danica Patrick isn’t ready to address her future with Andretti Green Racing or the IndyCar series, sidestepping questions about her expiring contract.

Patrick points out there are still three races left in response to questions about her contract status and a possible jump to NASCAR.

Fifth on the IRL points list entering Saturday’s race at Chicagoland Speedway, Patrick is in the final year of a three-year deal with Andretti Green. She finished a season-high third at the Indy 500, the best showing ever by a woman in that event, and is arguably the series’ most popular driver.
