Patrick, in town for last weekend’s Bombardier LearJet 550k race at Texas Motor Speedway, dropped in for a scheduled appearance at the RadioShack on behalf of her sponsor, Boost Mobile, a unit of Sprint Nextel. Boost Mobile donated $5,000 to Family Pathfinders of Tarrant County — a nonprofit group that helps the poor — in conjunction with the appearance.
Fans lined up outside the store and got a chance to take pictures with and get autographs of Patrick, who finished third in this year’s Indianapolis 500 race. Fort Worth Star Telegram
