As the first woman to ever win an Indy car race, Danica Patrick wants all girls to find the need for speed – especially Beyoncé.
“I want to help her out!” Patrick said after hearing that the songbird is learning to race for a video. “She’s a ‘conquer all’ kind of woman, and I’m sure she’ll be great.”
The petite driver, who was celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Indy 500 at Macy’s Herald Square when we caught up with her, is often called on to help music artists. In fact, she piloted a $350K Pagani Zonda Roadster in a video for Beyoncé’s other half, Jay-Z.
“The theme was that the girls kept winning, beating the guys at everything,” Patrick said of the “Show Me What You Got” clip. “I zoomed in front of Jay-Z’s car. It was exactly my kind of video.”
The driver clearly adores being part of the boys’ club. “I started [racing] when I was 10, so I don’t really know any different. I know guys better than girls [because] I’ve spent so much of my life around them.”
