Danica Patrick has to be one of the biggest trailblazers in NASCAR. The now-retired driver was a big inspiration for a number of aspiring female racecar drivers to believe in their dreams, the dreams of making it.

Just like she made it to the top of the American stock car racing echelon.

So it’s no wonder that she was a part of the “Girls Like You” music video by Adam Levine led Maroon 5 a few years ago.

The former NASCAR driver was one of the highly excelling women in the music video that also features faces like Jennifer Lopez, Ellen DeGeneres, Gal Gadot, Rita Ora, and many more women dancing alongside Levine.

It’s worth mentioning that Adam Levine recently found himself in the middle of a controversy as he was accused of allegedly cheating on his wife.

Fortunately now, though, the NASCAR trailblazer is on a path to recovery.

And not only that, but she is also doing her best in spreading awareness about this issue and making sure that her story inspires and educates her fans and the general population as a whole.
