5 Years After Retiring From NASCAR, Danica Patrick Shows Her Unconditional Love for Talladega

Although she retired from motorsports a number of years ago, Danica Patrick has kept herself relevant among racing fans. She can often be seen expressing her love and support for NASCAR and local racing events as well. Patrick is a legendary motorsports athlete and is considered to be one of the most successful women in the history of motor racing. She used to be a Cup Series driver for a number of years and recently, she re-affirmed her love for one of the most iconic racetracks in the world.

Patrick might have never achieved a top-10 finish at the Talladega Superspeedway but she absolutely adores the track and the action it brings. Sunday’s Cup Series race was the second round of 12 event of the season and it ended in a photo finish. Ryan Blaney edged out Kevin Harvick for the win and cemented his place in the round of 8.

Danica Patrick hails track where she suffered horror crash

Danica Patrick has embarked on a lot of ventures and she usually has been successful. Be it a podcast host or an entrepreneur, the former Cup Series racer always gives her best effort. But she originally was a racing driver. Her love for the sport has not waned despite her retirement half a decade ago.

She thoroughly enjoyed what she saw at Talladega. The 41-year-old expressed her satisfaction with the event on her Instagram Story. She shared a picture of Harvick and Blaney’s photo finish with the caption, “Always an exciting finish at dega.”

Danica Patrick’s love for Talladega truly is unconditional considering that she had suffered one of the worst crashes of her career there. The year was 2016 and Patrick was a full-time driver in the Cup Series.

The then Stewart-Haas Racing driver was involved in a horrific crash that saw her car burst into flames. Patrick was tagged from behind by Michael McDowell. She lost control of her car and hit Matt Kenseth before crashing into the wall hard as her car caught on fire. She was in the infield medical center for quite a while. After she came out, Patrik said it was the worst wreck she had been in. “That was the worst one (wreck) so far. I have decent bruises on my arm and foot. I hit a wall at 200. And my chest hurts when I breathe,” she had said back then.
