Social media has it’s own positives and negatives. Now, depending on the day and person, the ratio of the two facets differs. But when you look at how Danica Patrick is using the same platform, the ratio titles more in the side of positives.

The former NASCAR driver recently shared a post from Voices For Lancaster’s post on her story about a dog that needs a new home.

“Can anyone near Lancaster South Carolina save this baby?! End of the road is Friday for him,” she wrote on her story. “This stuff kills me.”

Along with Patrick, another name from the NASCAR world amplified this voice for help.

Amy Earnhardt, the wife of NASCAR Hall of Famer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. also shared this story.

“Lancaster, SC,” was what she wrote on the same post.

Danica Patrick on critics, life after retirement

It’s no hidden fact that Danica Patrick was, and to some extent, continues to be one of the most polarising figures in NASCAR.

This was something she opened up on earlier this year, how she deals with criticism that resurfaced as  she tried her hand at broadcasting.

“I try and take it all with a grain of salt, but it is still information,” she said. Patrick insisted that social media “is a little bit of your finger on the pulse” of any story, along with being the pulse of the perspective.

Now, Patrick retired at quite and early age for a racecar driver, and yes, it’s not uncommon for drivers to put off their retirements either.

But in her case, that won’t be the outcome considering how content she feels with her life away from racetracks and fast cars.

“I don’t feel like I’m sitting around at home so bored, thinking maybe I shouldn’t have retired,” she desctibed.

”I really don’t have that desire [to race].”
