Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has his dream race.
Patrick, 42, was asked to choose three people, dead or alive, for race.
“Well, I think I’d like to see how I stacked up against Ayrton Senna. He was one of the Greats in Formula One,” Patrick said during a recent performance at Outkick’s “Gaines for Girls” podcast with Riley Gaines.

Senna, who died in an accident during a race in 1994 at the age of 34, is a Formula One legend.
Senna achieved 41 wins, 65 pole positions, 19 fastest laps and 80 podiums and was known for its aggressive driving style.
Patrick then chose one of Nascar’s biggest drivers to compete against.
Danica Patrick tells Riley Gaines that there are ‘clear biological differences’ between men, women
“Maybe get out there and doorbang with Dale Earnhardt Sr. Of course I know (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) Super Well. I was driving for him. He is a friend and his wife Amy is great. But you know he was known as ‘The Intimidator’. So it would be a fun person to see, as, how did it feel?
The Earnhardt ran the Nascar Winston Cup series, now the Nascar Cup series, from 1975 to 2001.

Earnhardt won the 76 Winston Cup race and 24 exhibition events for a combined 100 wins.
The legend is the only driver in the NASCAR story that wins a race in four different, consecutive decades.
Earnhardt died like Senna in a race of a skull fracture during a last crash under Daytona 500 in 2001 at 49 years old.
In Patrick’s hypothetical race, she takes on Senna and Earnhardt competitively, and for her third person she chose to put someone in her own car.

“Maybe put someone in my car. Who would I put in my car? I think I would put Jesus in my car. I think that in all my spiritual practice and religious experiences I have associated with Jesus’ energy. It has always felt you like a homie, just like just your best friend. Like someone who is just super cool and at your level, but just all love. “Patrick said.” Patrick said.
Patrick is one of the most successful women in racing history.
She is the first woman to win an Indycar series race, the first to have a pole position in a NASCAR CUP series and have the highest finish of a woman in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500, among many other results.
