Patrick confidently stated, “At my level? None.”

The Veteran UFC commentator was amazed by this fact, as racing is a male-dominant sport. But facing absolutely no competition from the same gender must be a rare feeling.

She further added, “I really don’t. I mean, I’ve driven, I’ve raced with girls and I don’t, I don’t like it.” 

Speaking about what goes on in her head when another female racer passes her, Patrick said, “I’m like, ‘can’t believe my car isn’t faster right now. … So it happens with guys too but you know, I don’t know, it’s just a cultural norm that girls aren’t good in a lot you know,”
