From the Series: Sports Superstars
Danica Patrick first captured America's attention by nearly winning the 2005 Indianapolis 500. As the first woman to ever win an Indy Car race, Patrick has proven to be a serious contender in the male-dominated field, although that is no surprise to those who have been following her rising career. Growing up in Illinois, Patrick began racing go-karts when she was 10 years old and has been a fierce competitor ever since. This detailed biography offers insightful interviews and captivating photographs to tell the story of a determined young woman who has defied conventions and outdistanced stereotypes to become a formidable race car driver in her own right.
