One of the IndyCar Series’ brightest young driving talents, Danica Patrick has blossomed into one of the country’s brightest sports stars.
On Nov. 29, Patrick will receive the Sportswoman of the Year award from the March of Dimes (New York State Chapter) at its 23rd annual luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. Noted journalist Frank Deford will introduce Patrick.
The Sports Luncheon, which raises funds for March of Dimes support programs for mothers and babies, also will honor tennis great Andre Agassi as Sportsman of the Year, WNBA president Donna Orender with the Sports Leadership Award and HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg with the Corporate Leadership Award.
Since the season ended at Chicagoland Speedway, Patrick has continued to race around. She was in Monaco to film the recently-released Jay-Z video from his comeback CD, has been promoting winter car care tips through her PEAK Antifreeze sponsorship, and has been featured in GQ and PINK magazines.
Patrick, the 2005 Bombardier Rookie of the Year, will make her debut in an Andretti Green Racing car at an Open Test Jan. 31 at Daytona International Speedway. The first of 17 IndyCar Series races will be under the lights March 24 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
