Danica goes pink for October:

As NASCAR Sprint Cup Series teams enter the month of October with Sunday’s AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway, the color pink is starting to show up everywhere – including Danica Patrick’s #10 GoDaddy Chevy SS for Stewart-Haas Racing. This weekend at Dover, and coming up at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kansas Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, Patrick’s normally green Chevy turns pink in honor of breast cancer awareness. It is part of GoDaddy’s annual “Put the Brakes on Breast Cancer” campaign, which runs through the month of October. While Patrick will wear a pink firesuit to match her pink car, she will also don gloves featuring pink accents at Dover this weekend at Dover. In addition, she will utilize a special pink-accented steering wheel made by Max Papis Innovations in the #10 GoDaddy Chevy SS this weekend. At the end of October, Patrick’s steering wheel will be autographed and donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation to be auctioned off. When Patrick gets behind the wheel of her pink GoDaddy Chevrolet this weekend, she’ll be looking to repeat the team’s success at Dover in May. In her sixth Sprint Cup start at the track, Patrick scored a 15th-place finish – her career-best result at the track. The effort came two weeks after she and the #10 team spent three days at the high-banked, concrete mile oval taking part in a Goodyear tire test and NASCAR open test session.(Stewart-Haas Racing), see an image of the car on the‚ #10 team paint schemes page.(9-30-2015)
