Weight: 105 lbs
Parents: TJ and Bev Patrick,,
Sister: Brooke
Birthplace: Beloit, WI

IRL's rookie of the year (2005)
Fourth-place finish at the Indianapolis 500
(2005)
12th in points standings
Danica Patrick epitomizes the life of fast cars
and hot women. In 2005, she was the first woman to
lead the Indy 500 and finished fourth after dueling
winner Dan Wheldon in the final laps. Her rise to
prominence helped increase IndyCar ratings by 40
percent in the past year.
Only the second woman to ever race in both the
Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500 after Janet
Guthrie, Patrick won rookie of the year 2005 for
her consistent finishes in the top ten, her first
pole win at the Kansas Speedway and her overall
finish of 12th place in 2005. She maintained her
reputation as a constant threat to best racers in
IndyCar in each subsequent year of her career,
leading up to a 5th place finish overall in 2009,
the highest on the Mario Andretti racing team,
truly solidifying Patrick as one of the best
drivers in the sport. It seemed it was only a
matter of time before Patrick would be vying for
first place overall in IndyCar.
Patrick is the jewel of the racetrack and was
honored with several female athlete of the year
recognitions. She is constantly being sought out by
the media -- appearing on late shows (Letterman is
part-owner of her racing team) and making
"SportsCenter" ads, for example -- and she also has
posed for FHM and the cover of ESPN The Magazine's
Hot & Cool issue. The black-haired bombshell
keeps her toned figure by doing extreme yoga
sessions in a 100-degree room.
With all the attention, she proves that she
definitely can take on the heat -- on and off the
racecourse.

Biography
Childhood Ambitions:
Veterinarian … then secretary … then
singer … then racecar driver.
Champion Focus:
Her edge as a driver is, “a little bit of
mind over matter… Putting yourself in the mood
and feeling positive, feeling optimistic, feeling
confident. I can flip a switch pretty
easily.”
A Strong Marriage:
“You have to be willing to sacrifice for
each other so that you can spend time together
because I feel that if you don't spend a lot of
time together, you keep growing, but you don't grow
together.”
Advice to Young People:
“Don't try and be like someone else cause
you never can be. You have your own path and that's
what makes you unique and that's what makes you
interesting.”
Danica Patrick is the most successful woman in
the history of American open-wheel racing, and is
one of the most famous and recognized female
athletes in the world. She is the only woman to

Danica Patrick drove for Rahal-Letterman
Racing 2005-2006 where she is shattering records,
becoming the first women in history to win a pole
position in the Toyota Atlantic Championship.
At the age of ten, Danica exploded onto the
karting scene, placing second in points against 20
other drivers. In her second year she began to
climb, racing in the WKA Midwest Sprint Series in
Yamaha Sportsman and US 820 Sportsman, placing
second and breaking two track records in a single
day.
By Danica’s third year, she had seized her
first national points championship in WKA
Manufacturer’s Cup in the Yamaha Sportsman
class. By the age of thirteen, she had won the WKA
Great Lakes Sprint Series title in the Yamaha
Restricted Junior and US 820 Junior classes.
Danica solidified her reputation the following
year in the Yamaha Jr. and Yamaha Restricted Jr.
classes winning a knock-out 39 of 49 feature races.
In her last year of karting she won the Grand
National championship in the Yamaha Lite and HPV
Lite classes.
By the age of sixteen Danica was racing in the
Formula Vauxhall Winter Series in England, placing
in the top ten of the 14 races.
2000 was a record year for 18 year old Danica
when she finished second in the England Formula
Ford Festival, the highest finishing American
driver since 1998, stunning the critical British
racing community. This success brought her to the
attention of three-time Champ Cat titleholder and
1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal, who believes that
Danica is the next female sports star in North
America.
Danica became a household name when she entered
the Toyota Atlantic Series and became the first
full-time female driver in the history of the
series.
2003 has been a key year for this young and
talented driver as she shows that she’s got
what it takes to win. With a choice of the Indy or
Champ Car series next year, this could be the time
that she climbs into the racing limelight.
