Michael Waltrip told ESPN.com that his team is also interested in fielding Danica Patrick in a limited series of NASCAR Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series races, similar to the deal she reportedly is pursuing with Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s JR Motorsports, which would involve Nationwide and ARCA events. "Whatever she wants," team owner Michael Waltrip said in terms of the precise makeup of races, adding that he recently gave the IndyCar Series star a tour of his team's facilities.

JR Motorsports is still believed to have the inside line on Patrick's stock car ambitions, given its association with her longtime personal sponsor, GoDaddy.com.
