Danica Patrick named Ayrton Senna as one of the three drivers she would pick if she had the chance to race against any of the people in the history of motorsports. She also picked Dale Earnhardt Sr, one of the most legendary drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Patrick is largely known for her participation in the IndyCar and NASCAR Series. She remains the only woman to have ever won an IndyCar race after her victory in Japan, 2008. She is also one of the few women to have participated in the NASCAR Cup Series full-time. Although she wasn't very competitive out on the field, she did spend five full seasons behind the wheel with Stewart-Haas Racing in the series.

Having been away from driving for a few years now, Danica Patrick was given a hypothetical situation where she could race with any three drivers in motorsports. Picking her choices, the Wisconsin-native picked out three-time Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna and seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Dale Earnhardt Sr.
"Well, let's maybe let's do a hybrid. Let's see, well, because I think I probably want to want to see how I stacked up against Ayrton Senna, which is he's one of the greats in Formula One. Maybe get out there and, you know, doorbang with Dale Earnhardt, Sr. Obviously, know Jr. super well, I drove for him, he's a friend and his wife, Amy's great. But, you know, he was known as the Intimidator, so that would be a fun person to see, like, what was that? What did that feel like? Would I be intimidated? Because I have a real mean streak in me at times," Patrick said via Instagram.
Interestingly, to mark her third choice, Patrick mentioned that she would want to have Jesus Christ in her car.
"I think I put Jesus in my car. I think that, you know, in all of my spiritual practices and religious experiences, you know, I've been connecting with the energy of Jesus. It always has felt like a homie, like just your best friend, like someone that's just super cool and on your level, but just all love," she concluded.
