Even though the sporting world is progressing, the auto car racing genre still remains a male-dominated one. A few female drivers have tried their luck in the NASCAR Cup Series but they haven’t achieved massive success in the sport. There are many factors to this. But one name fans will always remember is Danica Patrick, who is the only woman to have won an IndyCar race.

Patrick somehow often finds herself in the middle of controversies either created by herself or certain incidents. In the past, we have seen her become a hot topic of discussion among fans. Patrick believes in speaking her mind no matter what. And recently, we got a glimpse of just that.

It has been a while since Danica retired from the racing stint to pursue her entrepreneurial journey. Her podcast series ‘Pretty Intense’ is very popular among fans. In her free time, we do see her active on her social media. In one of those instances, she posted a post on her story on Instagram. In the picture, a man is wearing a white coat with a lot of brand logos on the coat.

The picture she shared had the text, “Scientists should wear sponsor jackets like NASCAR drivers, so we know who owns them.”

Knowing Danica, this was arguably a dig at them. While people who think only NASCAR drivers are sponsored by brands and such should find out how any research gets funded.

She makes it clear by writing that if they wear the logos on their coats like NASCAR drivers, the world will know who runs them.

It is not always that Danica herself becomes the reason for controversies, sometimes the controversies find her too. It is ironic that even when she doesn’t intend to do something, observant fans find a thing or two to get entertained. In an incident last year, she had fans in splits.
