While Danica Patrick has come up with some banter in relation to Jeff Gordon, quite recently, she also revealed which NASCAR legend she would've liked to lock horns against.

In line with this, the 43-year-old took the name of the late seven-time Cup Series champion, Dale Earnhardt Sr.

During his racing days, Earnhardt Sr. competed in 676 Cup series races. He amassed 76 wins, 428 top tens, and 22 pole positions. Other than this, he also competed in the Xfinity Series and managed 136 race stars (21 wins, 75 top-tens, and seven pole positions).

Patrick, in March 2025, made an appearance on the outkickthecoverage show and added:

"Maybe, maybe get out there and door bang with Dale Earnhardt Sr. Obviously, I know Junior super well. I drove for him, he's a friend, and his wife Amy's great. But, you know, he was always, he was known as the intimidator. So that would be a fun person to see, like, what was that? What did that feel like?" Patrick said.

Danica Patrick's career in stock car racing came to an end at the 2018 Daytona 500. This appearance came in the Cup Series, but this was not the only kind of stock car racing she competed in. Other than the Cup Series, Patrick also competed in the Xfinity Series. In this category, she made 61 appearances and amassed seven top tens and a single pole position.

Since retiring from competitive racing, Patrick has taken up some of her other interests. She has become a successful businesswoman alongside an esteemed motorsport pundit.
