Danica Patrick to win Sprint Cup race +6600. With 4 plate races and the chance of a rain shortened, fuel milage type lucky win. I think 66-1 and a whole season of chances is fairly decent value. Worth the $20 risk considering there are a number of guys who know what her winning would mean to the sport and maybe willing to cut her a break late should she earn their respect in that race.

I do see Chase in a Hendrick affiliated car in 2016, but not in her ride. SHR is a business and fact is Danica = Money! She is a top 10 driver in most popular driver voting, Top 5 in merchandise sales, and a marketing machine that brings big dollar sponsors with her. That SHR logo is being sold on a ton of Danica Patrick Gear, Collectables, and Apparel and I don't see that changing.
Since teams cannot run more than 4 cars per team and Hendrick is signed up for the next few years, Stewart Hass would be the next best option but as mentioned would have to lose a driver. I hate to say it but I think that if Tony Stewart has another year like he did this year he hangs up the helmet and plays team owner and puts Chase in his ride for a couple years. Since becoming team owner and winning the championship in 2011 his wins, top 5's and laps led have all continued to decline year after year. It seems to me as if team owner and driver may be too much for him as he ages.
But If I had to guess this early in the season I would say Ganassi adds another team for Chase Elliot, or he takes over for McMurray who's contract is year by year. It worked out well for Larson in 2014, and it keeps him in the Hendrick camp. Just my $.02!

With her contract ending at SHR after the 2015 season I can see her taking a few more chances to grab that win
