Women can't drive, however...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—A person familiar with the plan says Danica Patrick has reached a deal to enter NASCAR with JR Motorsports.

Patrick will announce a partial Nationwide Series schedule at a Tuesday news conference in Phoenix, the person familiar with her plans tells The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because she has not officially announced her intentions.

Last week Patrick signed a three-year contract extension with Andretti Autosport to stay in the IndyCar series, but its schedule gives her enough time to also try NASCAR.

It’s not clear yet how many races she will drive in NASCAR’s second-tier series for team owners Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Rick Hendrick.

GoDaddy.com will sponsor Patrick in both IndyCar and NASCAR.

Now I'm not really into all that NASCAR, redneck, female motorist, womens rights, McDouble with Cheese kind of stuff, but you might remember that NASCAR now boasts an African-American driver, the first one in years, in Bill Lester. They also have a Hispanic in Juan Pablo Montoya, lets just assume he's Mexican, and now one of the female persuasion in Danica Patrick. Wasn't she in Playboy or something? Haulin' Ass or some shit like that? Eh, I might have dreamt that. Anyway, nice to see NASCAR is breaking barriers. Learn something NBA!!!

Snow in Houston?

It's a possibility being pondered by all citizens of the Houston metro area.

Snow, the most beautiful, white, powdery, substance I've seen on the planet. Well, besides powdered sugar on top of golden brown pancakes. But, I'll save a rant on that for a later blog. There's supposed to be a specific kind of weather system coming soon that has a tendency to produce freezing temperatures and snow. I choose not the ponder the actual scientific reasons of it, all I say is "Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!"

On a side note, I took an exhausting, yet wonderful trip to the land of my father. Mexico City! It was great, and every time I travel there I feel more connected to my people. It leaves me, in Frankie's words "Cantando al Popocateptl." Yeah, everything's pretty good right now. Just. . . Lot's of damn homework.

Oh well, whether it snows or not in our beloved city, let's enjoy the cold, rain, and the holidays!
