And it definitely didn’t hurt that Patrick had a marketable look.
After all, there are more products to promote, and her love life continues to make headlines.
Clearly, there’s still a Danica demand.
For those who can’t get enough of her, here is the untold truth of Danica Patrick.
She has a girly side
Patrick is no tomboy and she never has been.
But that’s not to say she didn’t have tomboy-ish interests when she was younger.
She reportedly missed “too many games and practices” due to her on-the-rise racing career.
“I was moving an ocean away from my parents.
That was exciting!”
For the record, Patrick said she doesn’t recommend dropping out.
“Everyone has a different path,” she said.
It’s not because she has two left feet.
On the contrary, she toldPeople,“I can dance, since I was a cheerleader.”
Patrick toldPeople, “I don’t have the personality that Helio does; he won everyone’s heart.
I would be a bit too serious for the show.”
Her decision to turn down the show also came down to time.
During a Daytona 500 media day, Patrick said (viaespnW) that she’s just too busy.
But that was before she retired from racing, so who knows!
She converted to Catholicism for ex-husband
Patrick wasn’t a churchgoer when she was younger.
For her, Sundays were likely more for racing than for religion.
The two got married the following year by a priest in a church, which is what Patrick wanted.
Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last, and the couple divorced eight years later (viaUSA Today).
And their constant presence apparently became too much.
“It’s really unfair for my husband, too,” she noted.
So, how did her parents feel about the decision?
T.J. admitted toThe New Yorker,“It’s a touchy situation.”
Patrick’s tune changed following her split from Paul Hospenthal.
Can Patrick take a joke?
I know you’re not used to being this close to the front."
Mohr followed this jab with compliments, but Patrick and Stenhouse’s stares remained unchanged.
He said, “I had way worse jokes, meaner jokes, to other drivers.
… Danica, I thought, that was pretty easy in my opinion.”
By that, she meant she underwentin vitro fertilization (IVF) treatmentto freeze her eggs.
And they’re right shedoes have some Irish in her.
But that’s only part of the story.
Patrick toldespnWthat she’s actually half Norwegian and just a quarter Irish.
She also shared that she has some Italian, French-Canadian, and American Indian roots.
In anotherespnWstory, Patrick talked about how her American Indian ancestry inspired the logo for her Warrior clothing line.
“I started searching American Indian symbols, tribal symbols.
I actually am a tiny bit American Indian,” she explained.
“I thought the thunderbird was cool.
It also means unlimited happiness.”
But having a mixed ancestry doesn’t mean Patrick values her Irish roots any less.
“He’s funny, he’s very kind, he’s thoughtful.
He’s super smart,” she said.
“And he’s really good at football.”
But Patrick wasn’t always an open book.
She used to have a reputation for being private.
Funny how things have changed.
This time, he wrote, “No kneeling in NASCAR!!
Hand in heart!!”
This is, in large part, due to her partnership with the web hosting company GoDaddy.
And, well, that’s just no good.
Patrick was used to herrisque GoDaddy adsstirring up controversy and wasn’t surprised by the backlash.
Shots fired!
That’s never happened ever.
I would buy dinner most of the time."
What did Patrick do to Eminem?
So why exactly did Danica Patrick make Slim Shady’s hit list?
He then poked fun ather crash at the Indy 500.
It’s unclear what Patrick did, if anything, to draw Eminem’s ire.
She hated France because of… steak?
She felt the same way for France.
She said she once ordered a steak in Paris and got sick because they refused to cook it longer.
But Patrick has since changed her tune.
Yeah, that probably helped.
She has something a little different in mind.
“Maybe I’ll just submit my journal.”
There were signs of Patrick’s growing spirituality inPretty Intense.
It appears her relationship with Aaron Rodgers may have even started with a spiritual question.
Not sure what that means?
But she said Rodgers “knew what that meant and then it just went from there.”
