SHR did not specify what the presser would be regarding but Motorsport.com understands that they will be announcing a new sponsorship deal for Danica Patrick. The company will sponsor 28 races after GoDaddy announced earlier this year that it was leaving Patrick’s No. 10 vehicle at the conclusion of the 2015 season. And she’s got a replacement for her current sponsor, GoDaddy. “Nature’s Bakery provides “Energy for Life’s Great Journeys” and we’re very proud to embark upon this NASCAR journey with Danica and Stewart-Haas Racing”. “Danica Patrick is one of the most fit and health-conscious drivers in all of racing and she embodies the Nature’s Bakery customer”, said Dave Marson, founder of Nature’s Bakery.

According to team co-owner Tony Stewart, Patrick’s contract extension is a “multi-year” agreement.
In a Tuesday news conference, Patrick was set to pull back a leaf-covered tarp and reveal a light blue Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet she’ll race in 2016 – thus ending speculation the free-agent-to-be could land at another team.
“I really feel like family here, and this is where I want to be, and I really am fortunate that I didn’t have to look anywhere else”, she said of remaining at SHR.
Despite her struggles on-track, Patrick remains immensely popular.
“They have ambitious goals and they’re going to rely on me and everyone at Stewart-Haas Racing to deliver”, she said.
Patrick this season has two Top-10 finishes and now sits in 22nd place in the Sprint Cup Series standings. “I have ambitious goals, too”.
