DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Plenty of cellphone cameras greeted Danica Patrick as she arrived for Friday’s ARCA ReMax Series drivers meeting at Daytona International Speedway. And that was just her fellow racers.
Such is the life of IndyCar’s most famous driver as she prepares to make her much-anticipated stock car debut next February in the ARCA ReMax Series race that traditionally opens Daytona Speedweeks.
With about 30 reporters, photographers and television cameras following her every step, Patrick drove her No. 7 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet on track at 1:59 pm ET and got all of five laps in before lingering rain showers finally forced the cancellation of the first day of the three-day test.
Nonetheless, a smiling Patrick, who also participated in a brief double-secret test session at Walt Disney World Speedway earlier in the week, said she was quite pleased with her limited seat time.
