Danica Danica Danica Not Returning to Stewart-Haas in 2018

Welp, it was gonna happen eventually.

Oh no not Danica, the best cough*worst*cough* driver in the world.

I think this is essentially a retirement announcement in disguise, her heart doesn't seem to be in it anymore.

It kinda sucks it panned into a failed experiment but hopefully it opens the door for teams to give talent women a shot.

It's unfortunate in many ways, because she's the highest profile female racecar driver, and yet I think Christina Nielsen, Simona de Silvestro, and these days Katherine Legge are all more accomplished than her. Hope it opens doors.

It's hard to see where she could be driving next year. Maybe in IMSA, but I don't know what team and I don't see her competing for wins. I think a return to Indycar, except maybe a 500 one off, is pretty hard to imagine - that door closed a few years ago.
