Go Daddy Girl Fired up for 2011 NASCAR Season

Danica Patrick Unveils 2011 Nationwide Schedule

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The “fastest Go Daddy Girl on the planet” has officially unveiled her NASCAR plan for next year – revealing portions of her 2011 Nationwide schedule. Danica Patrick made the announcement today while posing with her iconic green No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet on the track in Charlotte, N.C. Danica’s partial schedule starts with the season opener in Daytona.

“When Danica drives, she drives with a vengeance”

Go Daddy, the world’s largest Web hosting provider and top domain name registrar, is “revving up” again as Danica’s primary sponsor next season. Go Daddy also sponsors Danica in the IZOD IndyCar Series.

“Having a sponsor like Go Daddy is an athlete’s dream scenario,” said Danica, just before the Nationwide schedule unveiling. “Go Daddy has backed me 100 percent – Go Daddy is passionate about whatever they decide to do, whether it’s websites, sponsorships or rallying around their spokespeople!”

The high-profile Go Daddy Girl has demonstrated grit and determination during her first season behind the wheel of a stock car, earning a career-best finish of 24th at Chicagoland Speedway. Patrick nearly improved on that finish at Auto Club Speedway, but an accident eight laps shy of the finish dashed her hopes of a likely top-15 effort.

Danica and the GoDaddy.com No. 7 Chevrolet have clearly helped invigorate NASCAR fans in her debut season. Some in the sport contend the Go Daddy Girl helps boost ticket sales and television ratings. Danica is popular online as well, having earned number one in the NASCAR Twitter rankings.

“When Danica drives, she drives with a vengeance,” declared Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons. “She’s as passionate a competitor as anyone in sports right now, and an undeniable inspiration for people who dream big!”

Danica competes as a member of the JR Motorsports (JRM) team owned by legendary NASCAR names, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Rick Hendrick, Kelley Earnhardt and Tony Eury Jr.

Danica has five more Nationwide races in the No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet this season, including tonight’s race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
