Most of NASCAR is throwing out the welcome mat for Danica Patrick, who will drive for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the ARCA and Nationwide series. Former driver-turned-TV analyst Kyle Petty is a bit more cautious about what her arrival means for the sport. “I’ve said it from the very beginning, she is an incredibly talented driver. Can this be huge for her and for NASCAR? Yes, it can,” Petty said Saturday. “But if she’s not successful, the only impact she’ll have on the sport is she wasted two or three years on a car that a good driver could have been in and could have been developing.” The Associated Press; Getty Images file photo
