That’s right, GoDaddy.com poster girl Danica Patrick has signed with JR Motorsports (owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr.). Yesterday in Phoenix Danica Patrick, Godaddy.com founder Bob Parsons and JR Motorsports co-owner Kelly Earnhardt unveiled Danica Patrick’s new #7 Motorsports stock car during the press conference that announced her addition the the JR Racing Team.

When asked why she chose to partner with JR Motorsports, Patrick inferred that a good relationship between Bob Parsons and Dale Earnhardt Jr made the deal possible. Bob Parsons knows that adding a GoDaddy.com car to the Nascar circuit will give them that much more exposure, especially on on Dale Jr’s team.
Although I am not much of a racing fan, I think it’s exciting for Nascar to have Danica Patrick driving a stock car. She has proven to the Indycar fans that she is a serious driver. This season out of 17 races she has placed in the top 5 five times and the top 10 ten times (for approx $800k in winnings).
