Danica Patrick is truly one of the most trailblazing athletes there has been in the modern history of American sports. The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver opened up the doors to newer avenues and inspired an entire generation of women to take part in motorsports.

She has also been pretty vocal about topics off the tarmac. Patrick has openly talked about her personal struggles, her relationship struggles, her trauma, and a whole bunch more. She even has her own podcast show that surrounds all things intimate and spiritual.
