I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into turn one, every lap, with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment. – Danica Patrick
I mean, youve kind of got the track down, especially with ovals. The only thing that improves is that when race conditions come, you know what to expect slightly more from the track and from your car. – Danica Patrick
I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time, I wouldnt like that to be too big. – Danica Patrick
“We dont do things we arent good at by nature. I wouldnt play basketball because Im only 5 1″”. Find what you enjoy – whether its racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once youve done that, you have the passion you need.” – Danica Patrick
