I’ve got this desire to take Elton John’s "Saturday Night’s All Right for Fighting," get out the electric guitar I rarely play and start screaming:

"Danica, Danica, Danica, Danica, Danica, Danica … Danica night’s all right!"

Or, "Danica fights all night." Or, "Danica fits just right." Or something else that ends in "-ight" or ‘ite." Maybe, "Danica’s quite a sight!"

This is just never going to end. Danica Patrick is never in and never out. She announces she’s going to continue Indy-car racing but hastens to add she’s still interested in NASCAR on the sly. On the week of the NASCAR awards banquet in Las Vegas, she announces a new paint scheme for her Indy car and slaps Jimmie Johnson, who has only won the last four Sprint Cup championships, right off the sports page.

Jimmie’s out in California raising money for charity and visiting school kids. Danica releases a new GoDaddy.com commercial. What’s more important? C’mon. It’s a TMZ world, folks.

In the short run, there’s a little wrinkle that all the NASCAR sugar daddies weren’t banking on. They all thought bringing Danica Patrick to NASCAR would somehow bring along untold millions from GoDaddy.com. As it turns out, Motorola is leaving Patrick’s team in the IRL, so GoDaddy.com - with all those suggestive commercials - is sponsoring the Indy car, which is probably pretty smart since she’s actually won a race there. The IRL may be a little pond, but Danica Patrick is a really big fish. She’s the shark of Indy cars. In NASCAR, at least for a while, she’s bound to mind her own business like a guppy.

But she’s still interested. She’s forever interested. No one’s better understood the benefits of dilly-dallying with NASCAR since Toyota came a-knocking and a-visiting.

Here’s what Danica Patrick is waiting on. She’ll be in NASCAR when the cash is on the barrelhead, as the Louvin Brothers used to sing.
