Danica's Profile
Residence: Phoenix, AZ

Danica Patrick has been making history since she first stepped onto the track.
In 2005 – her rookie season in the IZOD IndyCar® Series – she became the first woman to lead the Indianapolis 500® race. Patrick went on to finish first in the 2008 Japan 300, making her the only woman driver to ever win an IndyCar® race. A year later, she finished the season in 3rd place – the highest IndyCar finish ever for a woman driver.
Lucky for us, Patrick shows no signs of letting up. Splitting her time between IndyCar and NASCAR® in 2011, she finished 4th in the 2011 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas. This is the highest–finishing position for a female driver in NASCAR national series history.
Dedicating herself exclusively to NASCAR in 2012, she took the Pole for the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona. Patrick went on to capture four top–10 finishes, ending the season 10th in the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship standings.
In 2013, Patrick will race full–time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series with Stewart–Haas Racing.
Widely credited with bringing new interest and fans to open–wheel racing, Danica's fame off the track rivals her exploits on the track. Whether she's walking the red carpet or driving the Vegas strip, fans simply can't get enough of her.
Danica has appeared in numerous commercials, a Jay–Z music video, an episode of CSI:NY – she even played herself in an episode of The Simpsons. She's been featured in dozens of Sports Illustrated articles, pictured on the cover twice – she's even appeared in the legendary swimsuit edition twice.
Some of her most memorable TV appearances are in Go Daddy commercials. Patrick has appeared in 23 Go Daddy commercials in all, including 12 popular Super Bowl spots.
Now in its 7th year of sponsorship, Go Daddy toasts Patrick's remarkable talent and determination.
