I didn't want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go.

More quotes by Danica Patrick
I want to win at everything. I usually don't like things that I'm not good at, but it doesn't mean I don't want to win at them.
Danica Patrick
You know, it's always good to have seen a track before, just to kind of know where the little bumps are here and there, and just the general feel for the size.
Danica Patrick
Every time I get into a Nationwide car after being in a Cup car, I feel so much more comfortable than I did previously.

I would also tell kids to make sure that they love whatever they end up doing in life. To really be good at something and excel you have to love it and have to be dedicated to it. Not every day is great and not every day is easy, but you do it because you love it.
Danica Patrick
I would tell kids not be like me, but to try and be better than me. Because I always wanted to be better than everyone I was around. That's what drove me. I wanted to be better than my role models. I'm super competitive.
Danica Patrick
We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1. Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.

I've never asked for special treatment along the way. And I'm never going to hide the fact that I'm a girl, ever. That's obvious, isn't it?
Danica Patrick
Give yourself permission to shoot for something that seems totally beyond your grasp. You may be surprised at your capabilities
Danica Patrick
Being a girl, my parents could have discouraged me from racing ... but my family has such a passion and so much confidence in me, and that goes a long way.
Danica Patrick
In this society these days, women are widely accepted in all kinds of cross-gender areas. So yeah, it's time!
Danica Patrick
One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.
Danica Patrick
My first Indy 500 was one of my high points. I ended up qualifying fourth and I finished fourth. I had a win in Japan a few years later, and then qualifying for Daytona was great as well.
Danica Patrick
I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time, I wouldn't like that to be too big.
Danica Patrick
If you want to be the best in your industry you need to have a relentless dedication to your job.
Danica Patrick
I think the more yellows, the more lights, the better. It alerts everybody. I mean, I guess I'm always a little bit afraid when the yellow comes out, we all get out of it, that someone won't notice it, pile into the back of you.
Danica Patrick
I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England, it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States, I realised how much I loved being back in the States...

I'm a good blend of both my mom and dad.
Danica Patrick
Take those chances and you can achieve greatness, whereas if you go conservative, you'll never know. I truly believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Even if you fail, learning and moving on is sometimes the best thing.
Danica Patrick
I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.
Danica Patrick
My sister and I would race on the weekends. It was a way for my sister, my mom and me to spend time with my dad. He worked all week and worked a lot so it was a great way for us to spend time as a family and have fun.
