Danica Sue Patrick Wiki Biography

Danica Sue Patrick was born on the 25th March 1982, in Beloit, Wisconsin USA, and has Norwegian blood, from her mother`s side. Danica is best known to the word as an auto racing driver, becoming the first and only woman in American history to win the 2008 Japan Indy 300 series.

Have you ever wondered how rich Danica Patrick is? According to sources, it is estimated that Danica`s overall net worth is $70 million, an amount acquired mostly through her career as a racer, however, Danica has also worked as a spokesperson, representing numerous brands in commercials, including Secret deodorant in 2005 and 2006, a commercial for the ESPN`s “This Is SportsCenter” which featured Dan Patrick as well, and a sequence of commercials for GoDaddy.com.

Danica grew up in Roscoe, Illinois, a small village near Rockford; she has a younger sister, Brooke. Her father had a lot of influence on her career, as he himself was a racing driver, competing in motocross and midget cars. Well, ever since she was a ten year old child, Danica has had her hands on the wheel, starting with Go-Kart in 1992, but as she grew, also her appetites increased, resulting in the career she now has.

Danica attended Hononegah Community High School, situated in Rockton, Illinois, but she never finished her high school, instead, she obtained GED, and focused on a career in racing. She moved to England, and started to participate in major racing competitions, including Formula Ford and Formula Vauxhall, drawing more and more attention of people in the racing world.

In 2002 she returned to USA, and acquired an engagement with the Rahal Letterman Racing team, and slowly began to build her professional career. Starting with the Barber Doge Pro Series, she was soon pushing forward to the Toyota Atlantic Championship in 2003, finishing numerous times in the top three, although never actually winning a race. Still, this was a good start to net worth.

Nevertheless, in 2005 she was promoted to the IRL Indy Car Series 300, winning the Rookie OF The Year award. In the next years, her popularity rose as she was becoming more and more successful, and in 2008, she won the Japan Indy 300 series, increasing her net worth to a large degree, followed by a third place in the 2009 Indianapolis 500.

From 2012, she has competed in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and partly in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the pinnacle of auto-racing in the USA, with consistent if unspectacular results.

Over the course of her career, Danica has set numerous records, including the IRL record for most consecutive races running at the finish numbering 50, and becoming the first woman driver to start in pole position at the Daytona 500, among many others.

Apart from her successful career in the racing world, thanks to her good looks, Danica has also been recognized in the fashion industry, serving as a model for Sports Illustrated and several other magazines, which has also benefited to her net worth.

Adding to her net worth, she has also appeared in a number of music videos, including Jay-Z`s “Show ME What You Got” and Miranda Lambert`s “Fastest Girl In Town”.

Danica has also tried herself as an author, publishing her autobiography entitled “Danica: Crossing The Line” (2006).

Regarding her personal life, Danica was married to Paul Edward Hospenthal, her physical therapist from 2005 to 2012. For the time being, since 2013 she has been in a romantic relationship with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., who is also a NASCAR race driver.

Danica Sue Patrick Quotes

  • He’s a really fantastic driver and I’m actually excited and honored to be out there with him this weekend. I remember when I first came back to the United States, Paul was in Champ Car then. He’s so good and he’s just always so fast in qualifying and he’s tough out there … I remember that from when I was a kid, too. I’ve always been a Paul Tracy fan.
  • One of the things that happens after I won, is that you want to win again so quickly. You get a little taste and you want it back.
  • What stands out about racing in Canada is how educated and how excited all the fans are.
  • Winning was always the goal; it was really one of the only times I put ‘girl’ into my vocabulary – like it would be nice to be the first woman to do that. What it changes is things on the outside like the media, the endorsements and the fan attention. It doesn’t change me as a driver.
  • The Indy 500 is the reason I started racing, the dream of winning this race has been my single focus since I was a kid. Through all the ups and down, it’s the one thing that kept me going.
  • I will say that it started, that whole being angry thing, because I wanted people to know that I wasn’t OK with finishing sixth, I wasn’t OK with driving my butt off and finishing eighth. I wasn’t OK with those results. I’m not OK with finishing third.
  • I want to win races and I wanted people to know that.
  • It’s difficult to lose a guy like Dario, not only because he’s a great driver but because he’s a good friend, too. We’re going to miss him. But the series made great strides over the past couple of years and this year in particular. I was asked in Detroit why I wasn’t the big story after my best finish, and that’s awesome. It’s about having many story lines, and I think the league is developing that.
  • “I drive pretty fast even on the highway in my Lamborghini. I don’t like to drive at enormous top speed, but I do like to drive a little bit faster than everyone else. So if everybody on the highway is doing 80, I’ll do 82 or something, and if people are driving 60, I’ll want to do 62. I think there’s something in my blood, in my instincts, that makes me want to overtake.” (Newsweek, Sept. 25, 2006)
  • Everybody loves to cheer for the under dog, and I definitely am, I’m a rookie.
  • I’m a race car driver, and I’m a very competitive one.
