Danica Patricks Gets Back Behind The Wheel | CNBC Prime

[@bobfeller604]

I went to Indy in 2010 and saw her race...she had a lot of fans, very popular driver!

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

It was always great seeing someone my Daughter's age succeeding in life, and not getting broken when all those Big Babies in racing, who cried about her winning. I think she'ld make a Great personality spokesman for GM/ Cadillac. Thanks Jay for bring together Danica, and this car.

[@stevestudley4060]

When did DP win in NASCAR? She was great for the sport but the first day that she took the the poll position I said "She will never do that again" She only complained about every other driver. I think she broke up a marriage. She really is over rated.

[@bobconnolly190]

yeah no, she got lucky and won one race in irl crash patrick was the worst driver in nascar, she had more dnfs than finishes,

[@electroniccheeks]

What wins in Nascar?

[@HQBergeron]

@@stevestudley4060 Who’s marriage did Danica break up? I had not heard that, though I was not a NASCAR fan and didn’t follow her since she left IndyCar, in which I always rooted for her. But she had a crap team when she raced for Letterman, so started too far back too often, which lead to getting caught up in other driver’s errors too many times, and made errors of her own which would put her out of races. But she was always intense and beautiful, and no other female driver came close to her performance level. She was good for the sport and good for drawing women fans to it. Wish she would have won more, but it is so tough at that level. Think of all the men who never even made it, let alone ever won a race.

[@mmmichellegirl]

AWESOME GUEST! LOVE Danica & love Jay Leno! Interesting to hear her perspective. Bravo!

[@johnramirez5032]

I think that was a great clip! I love both of you! You both are real people. Sure there is a little showmanship but you dont over do it. Thanks for sharing you! I think giving rides to people who never imagined what it like to be driven by a true expert on a track is a wonderful and exhilarating experience im sure! I am in awe when i see any exspert does anything that difficult to say the least. They make it looks so easy when it isnt. To say the least. America is a place of extremes and dreams that really do come true. Thanks to people like you. I cant say thankyou enough.

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah, I subscribed to her channel and was impressed, she does some interesting interviews. We definitely need to open up racing to all, she is an amazing driver, better than me for sure, and it's a crime folks like Jamie Chadwick aren't household names.

[@neoanderson7]

Danica has always been, and will continue to be all class. 👏🏻 Very accessible and willing to chat without feeling as if she was forced to due to PR demands. 👍🏻 Can’t believe it’s been 4yrs since she’s been behind the wheel of a racer. Kudos to her! 😎 May her winery be in the black sooner than later. 🤞🏻

[@REDMAN298]

She`s a driver, not that much of a racer. jmo She admits to not being a risk taker. She would always do better in time trials than racing. I always have liked her and give her a lot of credit. The big boys got after her a few times and she`d fight back.

[@anthonyd507]

She’s so great. Just watched her documentary on Netflix I believe, it was awesome. She’s got grit for sure. My kinda woman.

she's awesome I absolutely love Danica I watched her documentary on Vimeo her pretty intense podcast is so amazing and incredible the questions in her podcast are so mind blowing

[@anydaynow01]

Yeah definitely a person who can drive a car fast, and her channel has really good interviews.

[@johnthompson1558]

[@erichinkle8522]

Maybe we get Danika to try her hand at all different types of vehicles.. sprint cars, speed boats, historic, muscle, mg's, go carts, top fuel, classic gassers, Bob sleds... I mean we race anything that moves ... She has the creds and with a bit of training on each type she could give us a real feel for the experience. Use present and past pro drivers as mentors ..also some up and comers in the world of racing that can share what it's like. That would make a great tv show

I think it is a heavily modified Vette. You can buy custom fenders, front end, and almost anything for factory sports cars.

Would love to see Danica Friends & Cars … 🔥🔥🔥 Jay … get the cars please 😂❤

[@troyandrade435]

Well, for those of you who want information about this car, I'll be the one to help you all out! This car is a $2.3-million track only 2017 Aston Martin Vulcan with the AMR Pro kit on. Aston Martin made 24 Vulcans and all owners were offered to have their non street legal race machines retrofitted with this mostly aero focused kit for around $200,000USD. The car has an 820-horsepower, 7.0-liter V-12. The Vulcan has 701 pounds of downforce at 98 mph, while the AMR Pro kit increases that number to 890 pounds. To compare, the Le Mans winning Vantage GTE racecar has 694 pounds at a similar speed. The Vulcan AMR Pro will only reach around 185 mph, but is estimated at 208+ with the wing removed. It comes paired with a six-speed Xtrac gearbox that is paddle operated but requires the clutch pedal to pull away. Overall, it's a beast of a car, and there isn't much that can stand in its way.

[@kristiannelson1851]

Thank You!! This is what I was looking for! I mean I love looking at Danica, but with the Aston DBS being my favorite car, I had to know what model this was. Thanks!

Also, the only female race car driver to lead a Daytona 500 race and an Indy 500 race. Indy Cars, she was on the podium 7 times. NASCAR, only female driver to ever win a Daytona 500 pole position.
