Famous Athletes and Their Top Sports Illustrated Shots

Danica Patrick, 2008

Most are familiar with Danica Patrick for being the most successful female in American race car driving history. In 2008, she became the only woman to win the Indy Car Series held in Japan. She never set out to break ‘female’ records but always trained to be the best she could be. 

When she was ten, she started her love for racing and quickly achieved success shortly after winning the World Karting Association Championship three times in the ’90s. Patrick stopped racing full-time in 2017 but completed the 2018 Daytona 500 and Indianapolis 500 races before officially retiring.
