Danica Patrick Joining XM Satellite Radio

Danica Patrick
Oh sure, there were rumors about this back in August, and yes XM sponsored her Indy car, and hell, the rest of the Andretti Green Racing team is hosting a show on XM anyway - but up until now there was no word that Danica Patrick herself would be on the air. Well she is.

Danica Patrick is now officially joining her AGR teamates to co-host "The Andretti Green Racing Hour" which is kicking off in February. The weekly one-hour show now will feature Marco Andretti, Dario Franchitti, Bryan Herta, Tony Kanaan, Jaime Camara, Jonathan Klein and Michael Andretti, as well as Danica herself.

"I am thrilled to become part of both the Andretti Green Racing and XM Satellite Radio teams," said Danica Patrick. "My experiences as the newest member of AGR are guaranteed to be interesting."

Too bad we only get to listen to her.
