SPEED.com open wheel reporter Robin Miller joined Steve Byrnes on NASCAR Race Hub on SPEED Thursday evening to discuss Danica Patrick and Andretti Autosport among other things. Following is the transcript in part from the interview;
On any traction to the rumors of Andretti Autosport going to NASCAR:
Miller: ÂJohn Lopes (CFO of Andretti Autosport), who puts all their sponsorships together, said last week  I said, ÂHey, is there anything to this rumor that you guys might be going stock car racing? He said, ÂWeÂre exploring. WeÂre definitely looking into it. So, weÂve heard that they might be connected to Roush, that they might be doing something with Ford Motor Company, but that kind of makes me wonder that Michael (Andretti) is probably not going to go with General Motors when the new engines come along next year, but everybody is assuming if Andretti goes to NASCAR, heÂll just keep Danica. I donÂt think thatÂs going to happen. I donÂt think thatÂs going to happen at all. TheyÂre looking at opportunities to replace this GoDaddy money with some NASCAR money and I tell you what  thatÂs a huge deficit to make up when you lose somebody like GoDaddy because itÂs probably the second or third biggest sponsorship in IndyCar racing and thatÂs going to be tough to replace.Â(SPEED)(6-17-2011)
