How much for the #7...

Looks as Danica be attempting the Daytona 500 in 2012. What number will she use? If RGM is not in the top 35 with the #7, would the number be on the market? If so what could be the asking price for the limited cup races she's planning.

Maybe a partnership/support deal to use the same cars as Tony, Ryan and Danica in 2012. There would be room for a fourth team under a SHR? Or a deal just like the 78 and RCR. Work smarter, not harder.

Keep selling Speed Energy! Gas On RGM.

I think Danica's new number should be 666. Living in Fl, I always go to the Indycar race in St. Petersburg. Two years ago they had all the rain. My son and I were walking down the side walk when lo and behold here comes Danica on the sidewalk on a scooter. Their isn't anybody around for a hundred feet except my son and I. We had to get on the edge so she could get by. When she gets close, I say "Hey Danica how you doing ". The bitch turns her head the other way just so she doesn't have to say hi, or smile. Totally snubbed us! I cheer every time she pops the wall just to hear her whine on T.V. She needs people skills, not that I care.....

I don't see why the media makes a big deal out of her driving #7. She's driving plenty of other numbers over the years including the #16 & #24 but yet nobody has thrown out the idea of her driving in those numbers. She ran Formula Ford in the #12, maybe she'll use that number in Cup.

SHR wanted the #4 in Cup when they started, MMM wouldn't give it up to them. RedBull has the number now and is likely not going to renew it next season so that means SHR could pick that number up with Jay Frye coming onboard as well as Mark Martin with Mark running the 20some races Danica doesn't.

IIRC the only reason she ran the #7 in the NNS when she came over was because it was her current IRL number and Andretti would not let her race NASCAR unless she ran that number (in hopes people would connect it with Andrettis team I guess). She doesn't have to worry about that anymore & now the only reason she's running #7 in NNS is because it's the number she's ran for the past 2 seasons (counting this one).

Let her use the number 3. That one hasn't been used for years

Richard is saving that number for Austin Dillon

She could use the #8 as a shoutout to Dale Junior

I have seen lots of funny tweets about Danica & Robby concerning the #7. My personal favorite was my own.. @DanicaPatrick spotted at @RobbyGordon 's shop trying to convince him to let her have the #7 (WARNING: WEB CONTENT UNRATED! #Go Daddy)

The only way I see her getting the 7 is if she's willing to add some decals...

With the new drink, that's actually not a bad idea IMO.. just make it a little bit bigger on the car, Danika fans + ethanol = big profit? (even thought I like Robby with the #7.. works well + its my B-day)

The rear deck lid looks nice and empty. The green SPEED Energy logo would look nice right there. The orange logo fits nicely on the lower quarter panel.
