Pink car for Danica at Charlotte: #7-Danica Patrick announced Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway that she will pilot a special hot pink race car at the Oct. 12 Dollar General 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in honor of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month. A line of pink racing memorabilia will also be sold, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.âI’m so lucky to be with someone like GoDaddy, who is prepared to change their paint scheme and give back’ Patrick said. ‘This isn’t the first time they’ve changed their paint scheme, but this is definitely in my mind the best reason to change it.â Patrick said she has been touched by cancer in the form of a good friend who tested positive for the breast cancer gene. ‘She went ahead and had a double mastectomy, and it was a very long process for her’ Patrick said. ‘She’s doing great and she’s a very healthy 30-year-old now. So I’m grateful for all the charity work that’s done on behalf of breast cancer to allow for early detection ⦠so we can kick its (butt).â(Atlanta Motor Speedway), see an image of the car on the #7 team paint schemes page.(9-1-2012)
