She’s speeding to the voting booth.

Former IndyCar and NASCAR queen Danica Patrick divulged Thursday that she will cast a ballot for the first time in her life this year when she pulls the lever for former President Donald Trump. Patrick made the revelation while hosting a town hall in Greensboro, NC, with Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).

“I just want to say I’ve never voted before, but this time around, I have to vote,” Patrick, 42, said on stage with Vance. “It’s that important.” Vance then interjected to make sure Patrick intended to support “the good guys.”

The Ads she is in are annoying.....

She does special coverage of F1 racing for SkySports, (Canadian GP, Miami GP, Texas GP, Vegas GP) which ESPN uses to broadcast the races.

Next Sunday is the F1 race in COTA (Austin, Texas). It’ll be interesting to see if they keep her on the broadcast.

She’s an attractive woman. I guess she wasn’t that good of a driver? Either way, I’m a fan.

[God luvs America]

She had her moments....led a bunch of laps in the 2005 Indy 500 but was pretty average in Indy car and got a LOT of mileage from being a pretty woman.

That being the case, driving 230MPH at the Indy speedway takes a lot of guts.

yup, mediocre driver that was hyped above her ability but not bad

Nice that Danica admits this is her first time voting. it will probably encourage some others to vote.

What a great group this is.

Sage Steele is amazing on X, Christian, smart, good writer, someone probably knows something here that's an issue, but I have a Dad crush on her (like I'am the only one) that I will probably keep.

Tulsi is clearly the best shot based on the accurate finger pointing here.

Here is the article from 10/4/24, someone else is bound to have posted it already:

She said she attended The Turning Point AMFEST with her sister this year. It sounds like she swallowed a big red pill then.

I often do not take advice from non-voters. In the picture, are they all men? I want a woman to support the cause.

I guess she wasn’t that good of a driver?

Her driving was OK. Her parallel parking left a lot to be desired.

You will have to explain your comment, maybe there is something I am missing about your comment especially the “all men” parts.

There is a fun and entertainment component to posts and comment here. Hence the picture. One point of that also is how nice it is that we actually have celebrities and popular people who are taking our side for once. By the way, I am not one of the people always posting female cheesecake on FR if you think that.

You no doubt do not need advice about voting, and I bet there is no “usually” about it.

But being a non-voter does not make me believe that I cannot learn from a person. There are brilliant and informed people who do never vote, and I will still listen to good information from them when it makes sense to do so.

It’s not likely that Danica Patrick would ever be a main information source for voting, unless she has information; and I would probably check it elsewhere too.

But for people who also may have never voted, maybe she is more encouraging to those people than you or I are.

[Weirdad]

“usually” should be “often” in the above

[mabarker1]

!!!?? “I just want to say I’ve never voted before, ??!!!

WTF !!!😡😤🤬

[b4me]

Never liked her. This is just one more reason, she doesn’t care about the country.

[Paal Gulli]

There are some things you’ve got to be at least a little tone-deaf to admit to. Never having voted is one of them.

[Chode]

at least she wasn’t voting RAT...

[mabarker1]

??!!! Patrick Reveals She’s Never Voted Before, But Will Back Trump This Year,

WTF Danica???!!!

Nice rack...

(I know, I'm a pig...)

weirdad, to go along with Your pic. And a ? Weird ad or Weir dad ?

[Paladin2]

Whoa!, that is a tough choice.

You shouldn’t do that to people....

[Chode]

who’s that?

[mabarker1]

Yeah ! I’m guessing that she has been focusing more on her driving skills.

She did Win the INDYCAR exhibition race in the her victory in the 2008 Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi the only win by a woman in an IndyCar.
