It would be links. trust me on this...I was on a pit crew for a while, know a load of people in racing and there were articles for months speculating, etc...she's driving for Tony Stewart and brought a huge sponsor along who is also in Indycar with James Hinchcliffe. Her old race team was about a mile from where I used to live (Andretti) and I know a few guys that work there, holdovers from the Team Green days.
If you google you'll probably get 10,000 hits. There is not one article on this.
NASCAR money is a lot more than Indy Car. A lot more. It had nada to do with the Vegas wreck. that NASCAR deal was done before the Vegas race.
