SCOTTSDALE - The cast for Go Daddy Group Inc.'s 2007 Super Bowl commercials will mix Indy-car racer Danica Patrick and original Go Daddy Girl Candice Michelle with personalities from the motorcycle and Internet worlds, the Scottsdale company announced Tuesday.

Go Daddy, which won fame when network censors pulled its 2005 commercial featuring Michelle, is keeping the story line of this year's commercial secret.

It did reveal that it shot key scenes in Los Angeles last week and has purchased three spots on the Feb. 4 football extravaganza.
