If the link doesn't work, the author in the Chicago Trib poses that perhaps NASCAR and/or F-1 might come calling for Ms. Patrick, who reportedly makes "in the low six-figures" at IRL and cannot afford a custom HANS device for her small frame and for some reason drives with frayed gloves. This despite the fact of the 500's highest ratings in 8 years, beating out a prime time NASCAR race.
I'm curious as to why the owner does not pay for her HANS and uniform as the article hints?
I think the reasoning re: her low pay might be flawed, her being a rookie and all, although I admit I don't know much about IRL salaries (OTOH, Schumie is being paid about $50 Million from ferrari just for next year?). I do agree that if she podium's in a few races at IRL she might have her choice of ride come next year.
