"Writing this book is an opportunity for me to share my story of overcoming all of the challenges of being the only girl successfully competing in a man's sport. For fourteen years, I have had to prove my skill as a driver and earn the respect of my competition through hard work, determination, dedication, and perseverance. I want to show anyone trying to succeed that anything is possible and that, though being a woman might describe me, it doesn't define who I am on or off the track." -- Danica Patrick.
Danica Patrick's life moves at 350 kph. She drives every race and lives every day like she has something to prove -- and she does. At just 157 cm in height and weighing in at 45 kgs, proving herself as a racer meant that Danica had to qualify a little quicker and race a little faster than the boys just to earn the respect she would otherwise be given if she weren't the "girl on the track, driving the princess mobile." She's had to defend herself, her skill, her ability, and her gender. But you don't get to be an Indy driver without talent. Even the drivers who stay at the back of the pack are skilled and capable -- but the back is the last place that Danica wants to be.
Danica runs with the big boys like no other woman in sports ever has. This book details her extraordinary rise from a 10-year-old go-kart champion to a 23-year-old Indy icon, teaching each reader how to compete in life, how to stand out, and how tog et the respect and attention you deserve.
