Former NASCAR driver<\/a> Danica Patrick has her dream race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patrick, 42, was asked to pick three people, dead or alive, to race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, I think I\u2019d want to see how I stacked up against Ayrton Senna. He was one of the greats in Formula 1,” Patrick said during a recent appearance on OutKick\u2019s “Gaines for Girls<\/a>” podcast with Riley Gaines.<\/p>\n

Senna, who died in an accident during a 1994 race at age 34, is a Formula 1<\/a> legend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Senna achieved 41 wins, 65 pole positions, 19 fastest laps and 80 podiums and was known for his aggressive driving style.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patrick then selected one of NASCAR\u2019s greatest drivers to compete against.<\/p>\n

“Maybe get out there and doorbang with Dale Earnhardt Sr. Obviously, I know (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) super well. I drove for him. He\u2019s a friend, and his wife Amy is great. But, you know, he was known as \u2018the Intimidator.’ So, that would be a fun person to see, like, what did that feel like? Would I be intimidated? Cause I have a real mean streak in me at times,” Patrick said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earnhardt raced in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, now the NASCAR Cup Series, from 1975 to 2001.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earnhardt won 76 Winston Cup races and 24 exhibition events, for a combined 100 wins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The legend is the only driver in NASCAR history to win a race in four different, consecutive decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earnhardt, like Senna, died in a race of a skull fracture during a last-lap crash during the Daytona 500 in 2001 at 49 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Patrick\u2019s hypothetical race, she is taking on Senna and Earnhardt competitively and, for her third person, she chose to put someone in her own car.<\/p>\n

“Maybe put someone in my car. Who\u2019d I want to put in my car? I think I\u2019d put Jesus in my car. I think that, in all of my spiritual practices and religious experiences, I\u2019ve been connecting with the energy of Jesus. It has always felt like a homie, like just your best friend. Like someone that\u2019s just super cool and on your level but just all love. And, so, there you go, that\u2019d be my passenger,” Patrick said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Patrick is one of the most successful women in racing history.<\/p>\n

She is the first woman to win an IndyCar Series<\/a> race, the first to have a pole position in a NASCAR Cup Series race and holds the highest finish by a woman in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500, among many other accomplishments.<\/p>\n
