After Patrick's incredible drive at the 2005 Indy 500, the repetitive question 'When are you going to win a race?' was a question Patrick wanted to answer and never be asked again.

April 20, 2008 was an unforgettable date in the history of motorsport as it was Patrick's first ever race win at the Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi.

Patrick moved to the top of the leaderboard with just three laps remaining after the previous race leaders were forced to make pit stops for fuel and held the first position to secure her maiden IndyCar victory.

The 2008 race in Japan is the only race Patrick has so far won in her career and may just be the only time she experiences the victory lane.

Can Patrick claim an Indy 500 win before she bows out of the sport on Sunday?
