Danica Patrick will have a new co-driver for her debut in the American Le Mans Series in this weekend's Chevy Grand Prix of Atlanta.

The 21-year-old rising American racing star was slated to co-drive with Anthony Davidson of England for the Prodrive Ferrari team at Road Atlanta. However, due to his commitments as a Formula One testing driver, Davidson could not compete in all of the eight remaining races on the ALMS schedule and has therefore backed out of driving for Prodrive in America.

Taking his place in the #80 Ferrari 550 Maranello will be Jerome Policand of France, a longtime veteran of European road racing. Policand drove a Prodrive-prepared Ferrari for the Luke Alphand Aventures team in the recent 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Policand has one career start in ALMS competition, finishing sixth overall while driving a Prototype in the series event held at Germany's Nurburgring circuit in 2000.
