HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) - Tony Stewart says he's convinced that Danica
Patrick will eventually make the jump to NASCAR.
Stewart says Saturday that he knows Patrick has talked with "a
lot" of NASCAR teams about moving to stock cars. The two have
talked frequently about the IndyCar driver's future. He said
there's little doubt she wants to race in NASCAR some day.
Stewart says he doesn't have a Sprint Cup job for Patrick, since
he'll remain a two-car operation in 2010. But he doesn't think
she'll jump to the top-level series right away, perhaps working a
deal to spend a year or two driving a Nationwide car while still
racing in the Indy series.
