Patrick Getting Ready For Final Run At Indy

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind – Danica Patrick returned to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week expecting to drive an Indy car for the first time since 2011 but rain and a wet track  prevented her from turning any laps.

Patrick used her time in Indy to instead reveal the final race car of her career, her new No. 13 Ed Carpenter Racing machine which she will now first get to drive at a rescheduled May 1-2 test at Indy.

Patrick told the AP that she was still nervous about getting back in the car.

She traveled to Indianapolis earlier this month for a seat fitting with the Carpenter team and said it felt like old times.

Patrick is the only woman to win an IndyCar race, lead laps in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500, win the pole for the Daytona 500, and the highest-finishing woman in both iconic races.

She left the IndyCar Series after the 2011 finale for a full-time move to NASCAR, but is closing her storied career at the track most associated with her historic moments.

After the Indy 500, Patrick will focus on her side businesses and growing her brand with assistance from GoDaddy, the company that teamed with Patrick in both IndyCar and NASCAR and placed her in a record for celebrities 13 Super Bowl commercials.
