Danica Patrick Reveals Her All-Time Favourite Quote & It Comes Straight From the $199 Billion Man

We all have our heroes. For some of us, it’s our parents, for some it’s the icons of the field they want to be or are successful in, and for some, it’s just icons that are so influential that they fall under no bracket of culture, industry, or even time period. The hero of the former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick falls under the last category.

In a recent Instagram story, Patrick revealed a card that had a famous saying and a quote from her hero. In fact, she claimed it was her “favorite quote.”

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right,” read the quote in her story.

As for who this quote is from, well, it’s from Mr. Ford himself, Henry Ford, that is.

Inarguably the biggest icon in the history of the automotive industry, Ford is more or less the reason we have cars. He was an American icon who devoted his entire life to automobiles and to cars.

In an episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls last year, Danica Patrick opened up on the worst accident she’s had in her career.

“I was down low on the bottom of the track and the car was falling down the track and clipped my right rear as I went by. He shot me up into the wall and hit it at almost a 150Gs,” she described.

Patrick then revealed that in the aftermath of this wreck, she was taken to the medical center, and as she woke up, clueless, she saw the IndyCar pastor asking her questions.
