Remember last week when we reported that when Danica Patrick's car was "stolen" from the Indianapolis Speedway garages, we mentioned that it looked more like a marketing coup? It was the case indeed. Danica Patrick has traded in the black and blue No. 7 car for an eye-catching black and orange model, the colous of her news sponsor, Boost Mobile.
Already, the Andretti Green Racing driver has a positive vibe about the car heading into the Indianapolis 500.
"I keep thinking (Dario) Franchitti won (2007) in an orange and black car," Patrick said after unveiling the new livery and paint scheme for the Month of May and remainder of the IndyCar Series season at the Indianapolis International Airport. "I think the colors are really sporty and very cool. It sort of reflects how I am. Edgy and fun."
Boost Mobile, the prepaid division of Sprint Nextel, in partnership with Motorola is the primary sponsor.
