Column: Danica Patrick shifts careers, courts new fan base
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Danica Patrick's days as a race car driver are pretty much over. She says she has two races left in her, the "Danica Double," but she has yet to announce rides for either the Daytona 500 or the Indianapolis 500.
With nothing racing related to announce, Patrick has stormed into her second act and shifted gears away from the track.
She returned to work last week promoting her new book, "Pretty Intense," a 90-day food, body and mind plan that she swears will change your life. She exercised on live television, prepared a meal, did a media blitz in New York City, then capped her week by returning to North Carolina for her first book signing.
