The big problem (quite literally!) for Patrick in NASCAR is that unlike the IRL, NASCAR Sprint Cup racers don't have the "weight advantage" when driving a Sprint Cup car. In the Indy Racing League, Patrick--being some 30-50 pounds lighter than most of the other drivers on that racing circuit--has potentially huge advantages on a race car where weight saving in any form of a few pounds can be HUGELY effective.
