Indy Racing League star Danica Patrick said Thursday that the 36-race Nextel Cup season intimidates her. Patrick, who is teaming with Rusty Wallace, Allan McNish and Jan Lammers this weekend at the Rolex 24 At Daytona sports car race at Daytona International Speedway, offered the assessment at the track. “The thought of NASCAR has always been there,” Patrick said. “It definitely is something that I would never rule out. Like I’ve told Rusty and everyone else, I’m just not sure that I have the energy to do that many races. That’s my biggest complaint. So if NASCAR cuts down their year – by half maybe? – I’d think about it. I think it would be a lot of fun racing it.”(NASCAR Scene Daily Newsletter)(1-27-2006)
