Based on past racing performance, Danica Patrick isn’t creating any NASCAR buzz for this upcoming 2011 season. However, Miss Patrick has found another way to get racy.
GoDaddy.com is known for their provocative commercials—which are always a big hit amongst the Super Bowl audience. And, this year is no exception. GoDaddy features a commercial with personal trainer, Jillian Michaels, and Danica Patrick, in which the two lovely ladies are seen discussing contract stipulations with their agents. Both Danica and Jillian agree that they don’t want to take part in such an over-the-top stunt. While, their agents calmly remind them that not only have they done “racy” ads before, they are both contractually obligated.
After the pair reluctantly adheres to the “racy” contract, the two leave a dressing room. The camera pans the floor while a provocative song plays, and we see both ladies’ feet adorned with shiny, silver heels. They continue walking to set as people gawk at them.
Then, right as a crew member trips over himself, the commercial ends…and viewers are advised to visit GoDaddy.com to see more!

Hall of Famer Junior Johnson has created Junior Johnson Racing (JJR). Why? He’s hoping to use the team to propel his young son, Robert, into the Sprint Cup Series. Junior plans to run this team from shops on his Hamptonville estate—yep, surrounded by animals and all. The new team has names behind it like Keith Barnwel, who will act at the executive vice president and general manager.
Robert Johnson is currently scheduled to run the full K&N Pro Series East schedule and also plans to drive in other Late Model events. And, in preparation, Johnson hired two veteran mechanics with K&N experience—smart move.
