Danica Patrick

The most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel racing was Danica Patrick. The racecar driver was dominant in her sport before retiring. The only IndyCar Series win by a woman was her 2008 win in the Indy Japan 300. Through her talent and looks, Patrick, a widely recognized athlete, has become an icon of pop culture. Not only did she do film and tv work, but she was also a cover model for magazines such as FHM, Sports Illustrated, TV Guide, and ESPN: The Magazine.
