Danica Patrick on first Cup test day at Daytona

Danica Patrick arrived at the Daytona International Speedway as the new kid at Stewart-Haas Racing, and she likened her first day of testing on Thursday to a first day in a new school. “I can't say I remember everybody's name yet,” Patrick said. “Somebody said hello to me last night, and they're like, ‘Hey, don't just walk by.' There's so many people, I don't know who everyone is yet. I've got a lot of people to learn.” Patrick will be driving a limited Sprint Cup Series schedule of 10 races in the No. 10 GoDaddy-sponsored Chevrolet in 2012 that will start with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 26. Her inaugural race in NASCAR's top series will come on the track that she made her Nationwide Series debut for JR Motorsports in 2010. In addition to her Cup schedule, Patrick is slated to run a full season in NASCAR's Nationwide Series with JR Motorsports this season. “It's finding your way around, finding my locker literally,” she said. “There's no combination for it, of course, but it is a locker that I needed to find, getting in sync with that.” Patrick made her stock-car debut in an ARCA series test at Daytona in December 2009. “You want to make a good impression, you want to do a good job,” Patrick said.
