She may not have completed the Indy 500 (a car collided into hers at pit lane), but it’s still full speed ahead for Danica Patrick and nothing – not even kids – will get in her way.
“I have worked way too hard to get where I am to stop, and it does mean stop,” she said
“We in racing do not get to take a year off because we’re tired or we want to have children – maybe when racing is over with, but definitely not until then.”
And even when Danica, who became the first woman to win an IndyCar race last month after she triumphed in Japan, decides to call it a day, she’s still not sure if children are in the future for her and her husband, Paul Hospenthal.
”I never worried about kids,” she admits. “But I always wanted to get married.”
The couple tied the knot in 2005 in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the 26-year-old still looks back on her “beautiful” and “smart” wedding fondly.
