Fans should start seeing more green rubber around the wrists of racing professionals this weekend as the league begins distributing "What Would Danica Think?" bracelets.
"We just want everyone from the groundskeepers to random team mechanics to Robin Miller to Tony George to stop and ask themselves: 'What Would Danica Think?'"said one league official.
With league super starlet and meal ticket Danica Patrick's contact expiring at the end of 2009, an increasing cloud of speculation has swirled around what Danica will do.
Stay in IndyCar? Go to Target Chip Ganassi? Bolt to N-word to take an estimated $38 wyskillion dollars to run P32? While Danica faces questions at every turn, the league is trying to remind everyone that their day-to-day actions can have an impact on Danica's decision.
"We just hope people will see the green rubber bracelet and take a minute to think 'What Would Danica Think' of what I am doing? Am I doing the best I can to keep Danica in the league?"
It's hard to believe Marco Andretti would have called Danica out for not letting him shake-and-bake sling shot around her if he was wearing one of these" an official said pointing to the bracelet. "Because if Danica leaves, it will be like having someone squirt lighter fluid in your eyeballs and set your ocular cavities ablaze."
"Personally, I'd rather have my man parts beaten with a tire iron than have Danica leave," said one distraught IRL official. "We're talking about human sacrifice ... dogs and cats, living together ... mass hysteria!"
Bracelet distribution is expected to begin in earnest on Friday.

It's already started, Dog. I was watching the news and saw thousands of people in Iran wearing green bracelets. They must love Nascar in Iran!

Jesus isn't laughing right now. Except that He probably is.

Even the Iranians are concerned about what Danica will do. They're really protesting en mass because they don't know what Danica will do.
