Nascar is, a tough business, as Danica Patrick is finding out. You're paid lots of money to win, and if you don't, it's over. Patrick, in her final contract year with Go Daddy.om, must up her performance greatly to hold on to her major sponsor, and I for one don't think it's in the cards for her.

Over the past two years, she ranks 23rd in the field of 36, and she has no wins. Can she pull it off? Yes, but she needs wins in order for Go-Daddy to keep pumping 15 million or more per year into the sport. Ordinarily, those in their final contract year really ramp it up, and she could do the same. A couple wins, and landing in the top 10 should do it for Danica. Will it happen? Well, in the words of the "King" Richard Petty," She's a driver, not a racer."  Enough said.
