Sounds as if she's looking for the right team, one where those darned crew chiefs don't keep making all of the decisions:
"The message Patrick will send to those wondering if she will keep racing is she wants to race for a team that she feels is behind her.
"It takes people," Patrick said. "In NASCAR, you're better off with a group of guys or girls that are working day and night and diligently for you. It is a hard job. ... The workload it takes to be competitive at the Cup level is relentless.
"I feel bad for them, but that is what it takes. If you have a group of people willing to work that hard, you're better off at a second-tier team than a first-tier team that has a group of people who doesn't care about you."
Did she have people who cared about her when driving at SHR, ones willing to fight for her?
"At times," Patrick said. "I don't think it's always constant. At the Cup level, I partially blame just how difficult it is, the workload challenge of it -- it's wide and deep, especially at Stewart-Haas, where it's a crew-chief driven team where the crew chief makes all the calls and the car build and how it is and what setup ultimately goes on it."
