Knost to return as Patrick”™s crew chief:

#10-Danica Patrick returned to Mobile this weekend for the GoDaddy Bowl. The visit marked the third time she has appeared at the game and its activities. She served as grand marshal of the GoDaddy Bowl parade Saturday night and on Sunday took part in the coin toss to start the game and she was scheduled to present the trophy to the winning time at the game’s conclusion. In between her activities at Sunday’s game, Patrick took a few minutes to talk with AL.com:
Q: You’re going to have a new crew chief this season. Are you excited about that aspect.
Patrick:‚ “I think something new is both scary but also exciting. Until you go there you don’t know how great it could be. We (she and Daniel Knost) worked together a little bit at the end of last season. I think that was a really good thing to do in preparation for 2015. Everybody at Stewart-Haas has been working very hard to make sure that every team is as good from top to bottom as possible, and we’ll probably have some changes for next year within the team, but it’s like I said, you never know what you can have until you dare to try something different. Daniel is a very smart guy and I’m excited to see what we can do.”(Alabama Live)(1-5-2015)
