Welcome to the Tudor Dixon podcast. Today is an awesome day because we have Danica Patrick with us.

I am so excited to have you here, Danica. Thank you so much for joining me.

My pleasure. Thank you.

So in case you don't know, but you probably do. She's a former NASCAR and IndyCar driver and the only woman to ever win an IndyCar series race. So we are super excited to have

this is like a woman podcast, even though we have a lot of men listening. We celebrate women on

this podcast for sure every day. Good, good. Well, I'm happy to do that. It was just International

Women's Day, wasn't it? It was. Yes, it was. So we have more to

celebrate, but also we're celebrating you because you've had such an interesting story just from

the standpoint of, you know, obviously you do things that are not the norm. I mean, it's not the

norm for a young woman or a young girl at 10 years old to start racing

and then become a NASCAR driver and Indy car driver.

But also in the political world, I was reading your story and I'm like, no way.

This is the first time you voted.

Yeah.

I mean, the first political event I ever went to was Am Fest. I live in Scottsdale,

so it's here in town. And it's Charlie Kirk's big event. And it was December of 2023.

And that was the first political event I ever went to. It probably makes me look bad, but I didn't even

know who Charlie was at that point in time. So I am very new to the scene. And what was crazy is that we can go through kind of how it all happened. But it was really cool to go from my first time I ever went to the event to the next year, I was a speaker at it, was just sort of like embodied the evolution of me in politics, I guess.

But we watched you. I mean, I think it has to have been kind of like a starstruck moment for all

of us who are just weirdos in the political world to watch like a superstar walk in there.

Here you are this amazing race car driver and bigger than life, really,

because what you've done in your life as a woman was really impactful for all of us.
