It looks like he rumors may be coming true. A two year deal is in the works to align IndyCar racer Danica Patrick, with Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports.

This move is apparently happening because Brad Kesolowski just left for Penske Motors leaving room for Patrick. The plan is for Patrick to run 10-12 Nationwide Races, but I think she might race more than that.

Patrick would run a GoDaddy.com car in NASCAR as she does in IndyCar. Proir to these negotiations, Patrick also talked with Rick Hendrick, Tony Stewart, and Michael Waltrip.

I'm sure bloggers and broadcasters will have a field day with "Women driving in NASCAR" jokes. How about I get it rolling with one.

Q: What can't Helen Keller drive?

A: She's a woman.
