Danica Patrick will make her stock car debut at NASCAR’s most storied track – Daytona International Speedway – in the season-opening Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards on Saturday, Feb. 6.
Patrick, who announced plans to compete in a limited NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule with Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s race team JR Motorsports and sponsor GoDaddy.com, will use the 80-lap, 200-mile race to prepare for the partial NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule.
The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 event on Saturday, Feb. 6 is part of a racing tripleheader day at Daytona International Speedway with Daytona 500 Qualifying presented by Kroger and the Budweiser Shootout All-Star race all being held on the same day. Tickets start at $39.
“There’s not a better venue for Danica Patrick to begin her foray into stock car competition than historic Daytona International Speedway,” Track President Robin Braig said. “Her entry into stock car racing on the daunting 31-degree high banks of Daytona is going to be a storyline that race fans are going to want to witness in person.”
While Patrick doesn’t have any stock car experience at Daytona, she has turned laps around the road course in both the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series and during an Izod IndyCar test back in 2007.She has made two Rolex 24 At Daytona starts with a best finish of eighth in 2009 edition of the twice-around-the-clock sports car challenge.
If you are a stock car fan, plan to be here to watch the race in February. The weather is great, you can buy a condo for a 2nd home for a song, and enjoy our Daytona lifestyle. Contact me for some real estate ideas in Daytona Beach.
