It’s official. NASCAR driver Danica Patrick is the most popular drive in the Nationwide Series. The former Indy Car racer took home the award, which was voted on by fans. This week, the 30 year old racecar driver made headlines when she announced that she’s getting a divorce from her husband of seven years, Paul Hospenthal.
Although the NASCAR season is now in the books with Brad Keselowski taking home the Sprint Cup Championship, Patrick is still racing during the off season. Her car is an exclusive vehicle in the new Sega Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Ps Vita and Nintendo 3DS. Patrick talks about how she worked with Sega on the new game in the video below.

GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
