Danica Patrick Media Frenzy

Before Danica Patrick hit the track on  Feb. 20th for the Stater Bros. 300 in Fontana, CA driving the No. 7 GoDaddy car for JR Motorsports, she was making the rounds of Southern California media.

She appeared on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" on  Feb. 17 and made other stops at "Good Day LA" on KTTV FOX 11, "The Bonnie Hunt Show" , the "CBS Evening News" and CNN for future air dates.

She was a guest on the syndicated "On- Air with Ryan Seacrest" radio show on  Feb. 18 and  "Chelsea Lately" set to air Feb. 23 on E! She was also a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on ABC.

Patrick followed her So-Cal Media tour in a standing room only press conference full of reporters and photographers, patiently awaiting her 20 minute late arrival. When asked what the main differences that she saw about IndyCar Media and Nascar Media she got a good laugh when responded with "There's alot more of you. That's really the big difference. There's more of you here and a bigger outreach so I better watch what the heck I say."

Following the Stater Bros. 300, Patrick is scheduled to race at Las Vegas Feb. 27th before taking a four-month break from the Nationwide Series to participate in her sixth IndyCar Series season.
