Has she ever won a race? Any at all?
I believe she won a race in Japan.
See trophy?
I am sure she has won a few.
Putting Patrick’s victory in perspective
Danica Patrick’s first IndyCar win in the Japan 300 was more a triumph in public relations than auto racing.
It didn’t happen as the result of a final lap, wheel-to-wheel battle, one that many close observers of the sport feel she will never win.
It instead was more a battle between the race engineer’s computers on the Andretti Green team and that of her rival Helio Castroneves’ Penske Racing team. It was a matter of who would get the best fuel mileage in the final handful of laps of the 200-lap race.

Yes, in 2008, she won the Indy Japan 300 at the Twin Ring Motegi oval, in Japan.
In addition, in only five years, she’s had 3 Poles, 4 Podium’s, and 39 Top Tens.
She was the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the year, and the 2005 IndyCar Series Rookie of the Year, as well. She’s set 3 track records at Suzuka. This record puts her in the same class as Matsuumura and Andretti. The only Woman ever to do any of that.
Here’s a quote from Tony Stewart, who said, “I think obviously she’s got talent; she’s been successful in every form of racing she’s been in so far...”
And to add to all of that, she’s not hard on the eyes and, she’s a self made millionaire, to boot.
Didn’t read the story, did you?
Well... She's won the race to my heart! :-D
