Danica Patrick returning to Indy 500 ... to drive pace car
Fox News
Danica Patrick will return to the track at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the pace car driver for the Indy 500. The retired racer finished third in the event in 2009.
Patrick raced IndyCars full time for seven seasons before making the switch to NASCAR in 2012. She became the first and still only woman to win an IndyCar race in 2008 at the Japan Indy 300. "I have always loved Chevy vehicles, and the Corvette convertible is such a beautiful car," Patrick said. "Maybe they will let me drive it home." Patrick, who is primarily a fitness entrepreneur these days, will also be part of the NBC Sports broadcast team for the event.More Related News
