Joe Rogan - Danica Patrick on Being a Woman in Racing

Joe Rogan talks to Danica Patrick about how she's always being asked, what it's like to be a female in racing.

[@chriswesney]

This is the first interview I've ever seen with her. She is way cooler than I was expecting.

I wonder how many of the people on here criticising her as a driver are even into motorsports, yeah she was no all time great but she was decent enough to keep a ride and qualify mid field most races, all the people calling her a horrible driver couldn't come close to driving as well as her. Do you realize the talent it takes to race in IndyCars and NASCAR, if it was so easy considering the love she got from sponsers, race teams would be hiring women left and right to drive. She did win a race in IndyCar and she never struggled to qualify I either series, that puts her ahead of at least a third of the field right there, even if she never got a win in NASCAR. Look I get it, she got sponsorship deals that other drivers of hee same talent level probably would not have because of her being a women and attractive but it does not make her a awful driver. Just lucky and using what she has going for her to get sponsors something any other driver in her shoes would have done.

Brozilla I completely agree with you. She also wasn't even a consistent driver. I couldn't tell you without looking it up but I'm sure she ranked high in the amount of DNF's along with the amount of wrecks she caused. However, I still have respect for what she has accomplished and for committing her life to the sport. To be the first woman in Nascar and to get recognized and sometimes compete is a big stepping stone for the sport. I believe any woman can compete with a guy at any level as long as physical confrontation isn't involved, say like football, hockey, fighting.

After all, lighter means less fuel consumption and less energy to accelerate. - My thought was: "Lose weight big guy." 2. A fellow racer complaining about the attention she was getting. - My thought was: "Dude, she is bringing in new spectators into the sport. More spectators means more money for her....and you."

Damn you, bob! There you go being logical again…

[@MadRS]

This is the truth right here. It's not the fact that she is a women it's the fact that she was a sup-par racer that got promoted above others because she is a women who was willing to use her looks to advance her career. Yes sex sells and many teams need company's sponsorship to get by but considering that racing is a sport many of a the fans want to see the best of the best out there competing. Go Daddy wanted Danica as their spokes person and so would back her with huge amounts of money so that some teams just couldn't say no to signing her. What a lot of people have to understand is that happens all the time in elite sports all around the world. Some athletes excel at a sport and are promoted because of their talents and some athletes are promoted because of backers that want to see them competing at the highest level. When a sport is so lucrative that money out weights the competition this will always happen. The greatest example is in F1. There are drivers in that championship who are backed by millionaires, multi-national companies and even countries governments. They don't have the skill level and talent of other drivers but because they can bring millions of dollars to a team they are signed. There are also talented drivers that probably should be driving in F1 but for what ever reason they can't get the backing to get them into a team. It sucks and in my mind detracts from the competition but when money is King it will always happen.

[@KatieCooper1990]

Danica's biggest mistake was moving from Indy to Nascar. She was pretty good (far better than average) in Indy however her greed and ego led her to Nascar where she really faltered and sullied her reputation. I think the public would have a completely different opinion of Danica had she stayed in Indycar where, given the right equipment, she had the ability to be competitive. After all, she spent her entire career racing open wheel and had the most experience in that category. Nascar is a totally different beast and requires a different skill set from a driving pov.

[@bob-a-louannamaria7960]

I don’t relate to the “cultural norm” of girls not being as good in a MOTOR SPORT. This isn’t a physical competition! The car is doing the work….

There actually is a fair amount of physicality in a race car. Those cars don't have all the amenities (such as power steering or AC) that normal cars do. So you really have to turn the wheel hard, the seats aren't particularly comfortable, and by the time you're done you'll a complete ball of sweat. There's a reason drivers often need help getting out of their cars after they've finished numerous laps. Is it as physical as football or basketball or soccer? No, it's not, but it's also not as easy or simple as driving a normal everyday vehicle.

[@tungabunga4107]

@nadiasp02, your ignorance is of titanic proportions. Danica Patrick became the most successful female racecar driver in typical auto racing history. The stats/facts don't lie. What's your pro-level auto racing history, PUTZ?

[@bryanwelch6209]

Hahaha zero wins in Nascar. Only if there was a trophy for dnf's. She would be the best.

Michelle Mouton is the best female driver on the planet who nearly won a championship in the most insane era of WRC rally racing the world has ever seen, the era of Group B created some of the most legendary drivers to have ever blessed the automotive sports scene in a time where there was no talk of inclusivity and diversification for females to piggy back off of, this was an era where cars practically had no restrictions in terms of displacement and power and drivers and the fans where getting killed because of it, in fact it got so insane that they had to do away with that category completely because of it and the FIA started heavily restricting car manufacturers since that point on ... compared to Michelle, Danica is a marketing fever dream Michelle however is an A list driver and the best with a pair of ovaries to have ever done it, thats who you should be asking what its like to be a competitive female racer ...

[@sergeantmasson3669]

@dacoup5955, Michele Mouton did one typical auto race in her entire career and vowed to never do another one. 1975 24 hours LeMans race. Although she won her class, she finished 24th overall.

..and now it's known why she was never a race winning driver: she admits she's not a daredevil, and not brave. The best drivers have skill, talent...and aren't afraid to take a risk.

[@thecanucklehead3034]

notice that when theyre actually talking about her racing methods or specific things thatve happened to her on the track, no one is mentioning that shes a woman? Literally everyone can drive with potentially equal skill, and no one in this video is debating that. Their talking about the stigma that surrounds women in racing as a sport, ie the attitude towards them on and off the track. Theyre in effect saying that the attitude towards women is what is keeping them out of racing, not any common perception about their skill

[@brennangirl]

It's just not that simple. Drafting open wheel cars at over 200 MPH is extremely dangerous and very hard to do. Anyone who demonstrated the skill and bravery to compete and win in Indy cars is in a very exclusive club. At that level of competition, winning or not winning comes down to very small differences in your car, your set up, and timing your moves.

[@elemkay5104]

@@brennangirl "winning or not winning comes down to very small differences in your car, your set up, and timing your moves" I think that sums it up well. She was fast enough to be well in top 10 for 6 years straight in the championship, but perhaps didn't get a handle on those small differences to become a regular winning driver.

[@riobank6245]

there's a reason she (and women in general) lose so many races.. men just take more risk... it's why auto insurance for men is higher than women.

[@toberrdrawforc]

Maybe just a little different skill level, too (?)

[@aukebrinkman]

It keeps surprising me that Americans use the term "racing" but actually only mean Nascar. Nascar is just one small part of racing.

[@JohnnyBunning]

She races more than Nascar apparently

[@johnfarmer4099]

NASCAR is racing to the average American. The fact that some races have right turns blows their minds. Not to mention braking

They dont wanna get passed by girl!! Watch crash videos thats the truth!!

Did she ever actually win a race?

[@bderris]

Japan in Indy car IIRC.

[@brennangirl]

She also qualified well at the Indy 500 more than once and came close to winning that race at least once. She can drive.

[@gregseidel594]

@@brennangirl -- Close does not count for anything in racing. One win where everyone else pulled off the track and close in a couple of Indy 500's if you define close and being near the finish at some point in the last 25% of the race.

You’re right Roger. She sucked (in more than one way), and got a pass just for having a flesh taco and bad attitude. She drove like a chimp on meth.

[@daviddigital6887]

It would be interesting to see how successful she would be racing against other women only. Maybe Nascar should consider an all woman class of racing

It would be ridiculously expensive, from a cost to repair perspective.

AWWWW Danica never had a bad car .... she was mediocre driver at best !!! More females should be in motorsports the difference is and would be .... is that other females would actually be good and aggressive and not blame other drivers for their own mistakes and lack of talent

@@cronicbudha1234 respect? Less than 5 top 10, her teammates finished races in the top 10 while she every week finished top 20 or 30. Her only win was in INDYCAR and won because of pure luck, not skills. She believes she never commits mistakes and always blames others, like that time when she was screaming to another racer that supposedly pushed her car and made her spin out of control when in the replay of the accident the other driver sure was close but never touched her car, she entered loose the turn. Or that other time that she wanted to wreck another racer, bothe ended up spining but the other racer recovered control because he knows how to brake while she crashed in the wall. Yeah... A lot of respect...

I like her but she blames the car it’s her driving that is a 5/10 at best. She’s extremely uncomfortable in long side by side racing and it’s so obvious , nobody wants to follow or help her at 200mph because they see her limitations. Going from open wheel racing to stock cars is WAY different. She was much better in open wheel racing. She has a good personality but blames herself a lot, unusual in racing. ✌🏻
