Former NASCAR Driver Danica Patrick Reveals the Alternate Profession She “Wished” She Was In: “I Wish I Was a Swimsuit Model”

Former NASCAR and IndyCar driver, Danica Patrick, is a true pioneer of female representation in motorsports. While now she’s carving an identity for herself as a broadcaster and as an entrepreneur, Patrick recently revealed the one career she wishes she had.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the Daytona 500 pole sitter confessed her desire to be a swimsuit model.

Patrick, who has featured on the ‘front cover’ of the magazine in the past, said of her experience, “I had so much fun. A great experience and I loved it.”

She added, “I loved it completely, like I wish I was a swimsuit model because it was really fun.”

“I like doing photoshoots and I enjoy the artistic side of it.”

Danica Patrick, who surprised everyone with her premature retirement at the age of 35, has been pursuing several endeavors since.

More recently though, Danica Patrick has been in the FOX Broadcasting booth for the Cup races in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Although her broadcasting gig has garnered her a lot of criticism and bad feedback so it’s worth seeing how this one shapes up for the former IndyCar winner.

As for how she copes with the nostalgia of being a professional racecar driver, she said in a recent interview, “There are some new things I’m doing that I didn’t get to do while I was racing.”

“It’s not really fair to say, but it’s just less of some and more of other things.”
