Danica Patrick re-ups with Stewart-Haas, gets new sponsor for 2016
By Nick Bromberg

Danica Patrick is staying at Stewart-Haas Racing. And she's got a replacement for her current sponsor, GoDaddy.
Nature's Bakery will be Patrick's primary sponsor in 2016. The company will sponsor 28 races after GoDaddy announced earlier this year that it was leaving Patrick's No. 10 car at the conclusion of the 2015 season. Nature's Bakery is a "snacks and food brand that supports health conscious living and active lifestyles with our 4 pinnacles of achieving balance - nature, activity, nutrition and community."
According to team co-owner Tony Stewart, Patrick's contract extension is a "multi-year" agreement. Teams generally line up driver and contract sponsorships so they can be reworked at the same time.
Patrick, 33, has been with Stewart-Haas Racing ever since she moved to the Sprint Cup Series in 2012. In 105 career Cup Series starts she has six top-10 finishes. She's currently 21st in the 2015 standings and has two top-10 finishes in 23 races. While Patrick has received criticism for her lack of race wins and time spent at the front of the field, she remains as one of NASCAR's more marketable drivers. Stewart-Haas had said it wanted to keep Patrick as a member of its four-car team as a teammate to Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Stewart.
