Danica's digs and Dale Jr.'s Disneyland

Who knew the two most interesting stories of the day would both be about motorsports!

Read on...


Danica's digs
IRL driver Danica Patrick stands out in a crowd off the racetrack, and now she'll be easy to spot on the racetrack, too. Patrick unveiled the new, all black car that she'll drive next season for Andretti Green Racing.

The No. 7 Motorola ride officially marks her departure from Rahal Letterman Racing, and puts her in good company with fellow Andretti Green teammates Dan Wheldon and up-and-comer Marco Andretti.

Patrick cruised around the streets of Chicago Tuesday to show off her new wheels. I can't wait to see her show the car off in the winner's circle next year!

Dale Jr.'s Disneyland
NASCAR fans will soon have a place to go on vacation other than Dollywood: the Alabama Motorsports Park: A Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speedway.

Several Earnhardt siblings, led by Dale Jr., announced Tuesday plans for a motorsports and enterntainment park on the Alabama coast.

Just make sure yer RV's ready for the park's opening in the fall of 2009.
