Reflecting on her transformation over the past year, Patrick shared on X: “In exactly one year I went from being a spectator at my first ever political event to a speaker at it. Living and speaking your truth – leads to your purpose – which gives you all the energy you need to make an impact – and your impact becomes your legacy.”

Another enthusiast came forward to share their appreciation for her efforts, writing, “Thank you for using your platform in such a positive way!”
Danica has openly expressed that her foray into politics was both unexpected and new territory for her, yet she finds it a privilege to be involved in one of the most impactful political movements to date. She holds the view that Trump’s party not only excels in strategic election campaigns but also champions the revelation of truth. For these reasons, she regards Trump and his associates as architects of unity.
Patrick sheds light on her political endorsements
In an interview on Fox News, the 42-year-old racing icon opened up about her lack of participation in presidential elections, citing personal reasons for her decision to remain on the sidelines. But despite not casting a vote, Patrick emphasized that not voting doesn’t mean she does not have opinions. 2024 marked a change as she actively engaged in Donald Trump’s campaign events.
But that also brought up talks about her and whether she was compensated for her involvement. Setting the record straight, Patrick explained her side of the story, “It cost me money. It was fun to go shopping for it all, you know? Got a new fancy red suit and a bunch of other things. I mean, red’s my favorite color anyway, so I felt like I was born for this mission. But I got paid nothing. It was truly my honor.”
The extent of her future political involvement remains uncertain, leaving her fans to wonder if this foray into politics is a fleeting passion or the beginning of a deeper commitment. Meanwhile, the 2025 season of racing inches closer as the 67th running of the Daytona 500 is scheduled to go live on February 16 next year.
