Just a few short weeks after announcing the addition of Madchen Amick to the cast of CSI: NY, the show has announced another impressive guest star: IndyCar racer Danica Patrick.
Patrick will appear on the February 13 episode, playing a stock car driver. The case will center around the investigation into the death of her competitor.
While this isn't Patrick's first appearance on the small screen, it does mark the debut of her acting career. Before this, she has done commercials, always appearing as herself. She has also been the spokesperson for GoDaddy.com for three years.
This also marks Patrick's first foray into stock car racing. She has been racing in the IndyCar circuit since 2005, and she became the first woman to win in 2008. She announced that she plans to enter her first stock car race on February 6, and her first NASCAR race on February 20.
CSI: NY airs on Wednesday nights at 10pm on CBS.
