Despite claiming to have “pretty good legs,” Will Power probably won’t be asked to pose in a bikini any time soon.
But the some-time Penske driver is glad fellow IndyCar Series driver Danica Patrick has what it takes to grace the pages of a swimsuit edition.
Power, from Toowoomba, Australia, needs to raise sponsorship money and he thinks being on the outer edges of Patrick’s shining star helps other drivers in the series find backers.

“She’s a good thing because she attracts attention and sponsors to the series. And she’s the real deal. She’s a very good driver and does get lots of spotlight, but rightly so,” said Power, who is technically the defending champion in Toronto after winning the city’s final Champ Car race in 2007.
“It helps the series out having someone like Danica there and we can use as much help as we can in getting sponsors.”
Patrick spawned a wave of “Danica-mania” when she entered the IndyCar Series in 2005. In that rookie year, she almost became the first woman to win the Indianapolis 500, but finished fourth after slowing on the final few laps to conserve fuel.

Like Power, Toronto native Tracy also continues his search for a full-time drive in the series after running a limited schedule this year.
