Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick reacted to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump winning the 2024 US election. She posted a picture of herself posing in front of the American flag on social media.
Patrick, a trailblazer for women racers in the US, rose to fame during her debut IndyCar Series season in 2005. She became the first female driver to lead laps and finish in the Top 5 (fourth place) during the Indianapolis 500 race. After winning several accolades in the open-wheel-racing series, Patrick moved to NASCAR in 2013. She holds the record for being the first female racer to qualify in pole position and lead laps during the iconic Daytona 500 race in 2013.
