"I enjoy the challenge" - Danica Patrick once opened up on shifting from open-wheel racing to NASCAR

Before competing full-time in stock car racing, Danica Patrick made a name for herself by becoming the first woman in the history of the IndyCar Series to win a race.

Patrick started her journey in stock cars by competing full-time for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series. After racing a full-time season in 2012, Patrick transitioned to NASCAR's premier division, piloting the #10 Chevy for Stewart-Haas Racing.

While reflecting on her switch to stock cars, Patrick said in 2011 (via nascarman on X):

"I just really enjoy driving the cars. I enjoy racing the cars. I enjoy the challenge. I like how the car changes over race. I like how the track changes. I like how many pit stops there are and the strategy of pitting for tires at the end or maybe not, keeping track position. There's just a lot of really interesting things I think that make a race. And I like racing them, and that's what my decision really came down to." [0:56]

In her seven-year career in the Cup Series, the Wisconsin native showed her prowess in races such as the esteemed Daytona 500. She became the first woman in NASCAR Cup Series history to claim a pole position at the 2013 Daytona 500 and finished eighth in the race.

After retiring in 2017, she made brief appearances at the 2018 Daytona and Indy 500 events. Since then, she has kept her ties with the world of racing as a broadcaster.
