| The First Lady of car racing, Danica Patrick is a petite speedster who has the potential to dominate race circuits across America. Her combination of beauty and ability makes Danica one hot commodity |
 |
| A shining star in a sport governed and controlled by men, Ms. Patrick found her way into the Indy Racing League by earning a spot on the Rahal Letterman Racing team in 2002. Danica impressed her peers throughout her 2003 rookie and 2004 sophomore seasons, then caught the attention of the whole country by posting the fastest pole time and even leading for 19 laps during the famed Indy 500 race in 2005. It seems that Danica-mania will continue going strong. |

Born in Beloit, Wisconsin, on March 25, 1982, Danica Patrick grew up in a loving household with parents T.J. and Bev and sister Brooke. Danica's need for speed was not obvious from the get-go as, like many young girls, she loved to play with Barbie dolls as a child.
At the age of 10, however, Danica got a glimpse into a world she would come to love. She accompanied her sibling on a trip to a go-karting lesson and quickly fell in love with sitting behind the wheel of a speedy vehicle. While sister Brooke soon abandoned racing, Danica was hooked, and she soon joined the World Karting Association (WKA).
Within two years' time, Danica had become a racing fiend, and in 1994 she captured the WKA Grand National Championship in the Yamaha Sportsman class. She would win additional karting titles in 1995 and 1996, and soon had established herself as a rising star. Her final season in the WKA came in 1997, and she went out with a bang, winning the Grand National Championship in both the Yamaha Lite and HPV classes.
The next step in Danica's career would be a big one. She upgraded her competition by joining the Formula Vauxhall Winter Series, moving to England in order to do so. Over the course of 1998, Danica kept up only an abbreviated racing schedule in the UK, because she was also spending time fine-tuning her technique at the Formula Ford racing school in Canada.
Therefore, it was in 1999 that Danica made her true British racing debut. She finished her first full season in ninth place, then showed vast improvement by finishing second the next year at the Formula Ford Festival, the best-ever finish by an American at the British event. |
