GoDaddy to sponsor the ‘Danica Double’

The original "GoDaddy Girl" is back with sponsorship intact to push forward with her "Danica Double."

Danica Patrick has secured the money needed to race in both the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. Now she just needs to find the rides to get her back on racing's two biggest stages. GoDaddy reunited with Patrick on Thursday for the final two races of her career, even though she still has to close deals with teams to make it happen.

She's not worried about pulling it off, either.

"Power of positive thinking," she told The Associated Press from Scottsdale, Arizona.

Patrick announced in November she would end her driving career at Daytona and Indy, but still doesn't have rides. Yet Patrick always figures a way to get what she wants. When talks ended with Chip Ganassi Racing about seats for both races, Patrick said, she called former GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons late last month and asked about a reunion.

Parsons led her back to GoDaddy, the company that helped make her one of the world's most recognizable athletes. With "the band back together," as Patrick said, finding rides are just the next boxes to check.

"I am fitting back into spaces where I am more familiar with people and I think that is a critical element," Patrick said of reuniting with GoDaddy.

"We'll have more to announce on the team side soon, but with GoDaddy being the sponsor, knowing how they work, having that level of a familiarity from a working and friendship standpoint helps.
