New York - Danica Patrick will need a new sponsor to continue racing next year as GoDaddy Inc said on Wednesday it is dropping sponsorship of her car at Stewart-Haas Racing and leaving NASCAR at the end of the 2015 season.
Patrick, one of NASCAR'S most high-profile drivers, has been sponsored by GoDaddy since 2007 and the Internet domain name service said it is negotiating to keep Patrick as a spokeswoman under a personal services agreement.
"We love Danica and all she does to empower and inspire people, especially women, which is why we are working to keep her in the GoDaddy family," GoDaddy Chief Marketing Officer Phil Bienert said in a statement.
