Danica Patrick once opened up on how she wants to be remembered

Danica Patrick turned heads during her stint in the open-wheel and stock car racing series. She became the only female driver to clinch a win in the IndyCar Series and the only one to clinch pole position in the esteemed Daytona 500 race.

In a 2016 interview, Patrick talked about being in a male-dominated sport and how she wants to be remembered irrespective of gender. She said (via Fox News):

"I hope I am remembered as a great racecar driver. I don’t mind if they obviously remember me as a female racecar driver and that’s what I am and I am not ashamed of it. But I hope people first remember me as a great driver with great accomplishments and then ‘oh yeah she is a girl, that’s pretty awesome.’"

Furthermore, Patrick spoke about working in a male-dominated environment. She said:

"It’s just normal to me. After 24 full years of hanging out with guys in the pit and the garage, I don’t really know any different. I, by all means, love my girl time away from the track, but I have spent so much time with guys that it is normal to me and I don’t know what it is like any other way."

During her seven years in NASCAR, Patrick competed in 191 races and secured seven top-10s. Her best finish was sixth place at the 2014 Atlanta Motor Speedway race, driving the #10 Chevy for Stewart-Haas Racing.
