Danica Patrick and GoDaddy are two things that won’t go together after this season as her longtime sponsor is pulling out of NASCAR. This leaves Danica without a sponsor as leverage in her contract year with Stewart-Haas Racing. The good news, is she’s off to a great start sitting 16th in the point standings with a couple of Top 10’s to her credit. She’s also ahead of the boss Tony Stewart who is 30th in points.
