Danica Patrick, a trailblazing racecar driver, broke records and barriers throughout her career. Now, she embraces a new chapter focusing on her passions: food, wine, fitness and empowering others.

Danica excelled in the male-dominated world of professional motorsports, earning a spot on TIME's "100 Most Influential People" list. She graced prestigious magazine covers and made appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. With an impressive 14 Super Bowl commercials, 13 of which were for her longtime partner, GoDaddy!, Danica's influence reached unprecedented heights.

Starting her racing journey at the age of 10, Danica's talent quickly shone as she won regional and national go-kart titles. At 16, she ventured to Europe to compete in the fiercely competitive world of European road racing.

In 2005, Danica astounded the world by leading 19 laps and finishing fourth in her inaugural Indianapolis 500. This accomplishment made her the first woman to lead laps and achieve a top-five finish in the historic race. Three years later, she once again etched her name in history, becoming the first woman to win a major-league open-wheel race in a North American series, triumphing in the IndyCar Series Indy Japan 300 race.

Transitioning to the NASCAR Cup Series in 2013, Danica's performance in the 55th Daytona 500 race garnered global attention. She became the first woman to secure a NASCAR Cup Series pole position by setting the fastest qualifying time. Danica finished in eighth place, the highest-ever for a woman in the "Great American Race."

In 2018, Danica closed her racing career with the "Danica Double," participating in the iconic Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 events. That same year, she shattered another glass ceiling when she became the first female host of ESPN's ESPY Awards.

Now retired from racing, Danica focuses on entrepreneurship. She founded and owns Somnium, a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. In 2021, she expanded her portfolio with a rose wine offering under the Danica label; and, in 2022, she ventured into the home space with VOYANT by Danica.

Danica authored the book "Pretty Intense," which later inspired a popular podcast of the same name. She continues to engage in inspirational speaking engagements and plans to further develop her initiatives. Recently, Danica joined the broadcast world, covering F1, IndyCar and NASCAR for Sky Sports, NBC Sports and FOX Sports.

Danica resides in Scottsdale, AZ, with her two dogs.
