The fact that Patrick has sold an enormous amount of merchandise worldwide gets under some people&rsquo;s skin&mdash;but her celebrity status shouldn&rsquo;t discount the fact that she&rsquo;s a talented driver and a trailblazer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BfEcB_sBEYD\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrick&rsquo;s career includes time spent in both NASCAR and IndyCar racing (an impressive feat by itself). She and Janet Guthrie, who we&rsquo;ll discuss later, are the only two women to have ever driven in both the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of Patrick&rsquo;s other career highlights include winning the Japan Indy 300, scoring the pole position for the Daytona 500, and racking up several top-ten finishes in NASCAR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/nascar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label='&lt;img src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9802\"\/&gt;'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1-1024x614.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1-1024x614.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/1500x900-2a-1.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But it&rsquo;s not Patrick&rsquo;s wins on the race track that matter the most&mdash;her greatest achievement is being an inspiration for young girls around the world who dream of a career in racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Most successful female NASCAR driver of all time<\/li><li>Most successful female in open-wheel racing<\/li><li>&ldquo;Rookie of the Year&rdquo; for the IndyCar Series and Indianapolis 500 in 2005<\/li><li>First woman to lead the Indianapolis 500, win an Indy-car race, and earn the pole position for the Daytona 500<\/li><li>Career-high- finished third in the Indianapolis 500 in 2008<\/li><li>Record holder &ndash; most top-ten finishes by a female driver (7)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/x4KJYfOrdCA\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shirley Muldowney<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Long before the Force sisters&mdash;Ashley, Brittany, and Courtney&mdash;hit the quarter-mile, there was Shirley Muldowney, &ldquo;The First Lady of Drag Racing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BBRHrNRxClq\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Muldowney, now 79 years old, got her first major win at the IHRA Southern Nationals in 1971. She then moved on to compete in the NHRA, winning the World Championship in 1977, 1980, and 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certainly, Muldowney&rsquo;s racing accomplishments are impressive. What&rsquo;s even more inspiring, though, is that, as the first woman to earn an NHRA championship, she knocked down walls and opened doors for women everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shirley Muldowney Career Highlights - #100WinsbyWomen\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jo6IhjrYYjw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Janet Guthrie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As was mentioned, Janet Guthrie and Danica Patrick share the distinction of competing in both the Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500.

It&rsquo;s fair to say that gender discrimination likely played a role in her inability to obtain sponsorship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&rsquo;s most intriguing is that Guthrie wasn&rsquo;t just good behind the wheel. Before getting involved in professional racing, she spent time as a pilot, a flight instructor, an aerospace engineer, and a public representative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, prior to being invited to the Indianapolis 500, she built and maintained her own race cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Adventures of Janet Guthrie: How her career changed NASCAR | NASCAR RACE HUB\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MgSBIM6q_qI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sara Christian<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Janet Guthrie might have been the first woman to compete in a NASCAR superspeedway race, but Sara Christian was the first to compete in an official NASCAR race of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WomensHistoryMonth?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"#WomensHistoryMonth\">#WomensHistoryMonth<\/a> Friday fact: In 1949, Sara Christian became the first female NASCAR driver.

The 28-year-old began her career in the dirt, with sprint car racing.
