Danica Patrick’s Career

Danica Patrick began racing go-karts at the age of ten in her hometown of Beloit, Wisconsin. Pursuing her interest, she left high school at the age of 16 after national success in go-karts to race Formula Fords and Vauxhalls in the United Kingdom. Patrick finished second in the 2000 Formula Ford festival, the best finish ever for an American in that crucible for future professionals.

The model returned to the United States in 2002 after former Indy driver Bobby Rahal signed her to her first U.S. Indy-car racing contract. She was then promoted to open-wheel Toyota Formula Atlantic cars. Despite never winning in that series, she finished third in the drivers’ overall standings in 2004, earning her a chance to compete in the Indianapolis 500. Three other women had previously qualified for the Indy 500, the most prestigious auto race in the United States, including Janet Guthrie, Lyn St. James, and Sarah Fisher.

The spokesperson began racing in NASCAR’s lower-tier Nationwide Series in 2010 and continued to compete in IndyCar racing. Patrick announced in August 2011 that she would join NASCAR full-time in 2012, competing in both Nationwide and Sprint Cup (top-tier) races. Dani was also the first woman to lead a lap in that race, finishing in eighth place. In 2017, she announced her retirement after the Indy 500 the following year. In that race, Patrick crashed on lap 68.
