Bye Bye Danica

Danica Patrick, arguably the worst NASCAR driver is looking for a new ride because she was dumped by Stewart-Hass racing for lack of sponsorship.
From ESPN:  Danica Patrick won't return to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, possibly ending her racing career after five years as a full-time NASCAR Cup driver.

The 35-year-old Patrick has seven top-10s in 180 career starts. She has driven for Stewart-Haas Racing throughout her entire NASCAR career, and while her contract originally ran through 2018, the team did not have an anchor sponsor for her for next year. Nature's Bakery ended its three-year deal after one season following the 2016 season....

Patrick has struggled this year and sits 28th in the standings, which would be the worst of her NASCAR Cup career. She has repeatedly said that she is financially secure enough that she does not have to race, and it wouldn't be worth doing if it made her miserable.

"I want to continue racing if I have an opportunity to do well," Patrick said Aug. 16. "I have no interest, as I've said for years now, to run 20-25th. That's not fun. "If I don't feel like I can have the opportunity to move on from there and have a better opportunity, then honestly, I don't care [about racing] just bjustecause it's not fun. I don't drive because I love the thrill of getting sideways."

Danica says she doesn't want to be in a 20-25th place car but she is in $8th in points, she is doing worse than those underfunded cars.
She was given top notch equipment.  Two of her 3 other teamates have made the Chase and Clint Boyer was very close in getting.
Hopefully, this will not hurt other wonen for trying to get into the Monster NASCAR series.  Sarah Corbett-Ching, a NASCAR drivejustr in smaller series comes to mind as a good female driver who may have the talent to make it to the big leagues.
