“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, aren’t very good and that they somewhat don’t belong. I get like the little bit of animosity at first, but I would have thought that people would have got used to it a little bit more than they did.”
