The famous podcaster asked “How many other girls do it (professional NASCAR racing)?” apart from herself and added, “Like, in all of NASCAR, How many women are racing?”

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.

Joe Rogan exclaimed said “Zero? That’s crazy.” The former professional racer opened up about the question she got asked the most. “‘What’s it like to be a girl in racing?’” She claimed she found no particular difference.

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,”
