NASCAR Fans Lose Patience With Danica Patrick and Her IndyCar References During Live Races

It’s not unusual for NASCAR broadcasters to have that one phrase they like to repeat, knowingly or unknowingly. Mike Joy has. ‘Trouble‘, Jeff Gordon has, ‘Wow, look at this’, and Darrell Waltrip has, ‘Are you kidding me?’ It was also the case for Danica Patrick in her two-race stint in the FOX Sports booth.

The only difference was, instead of fans noticing and enjoying her ‘key phrase,’ they were left annoyed with it.

This is because Patrick was mentioning INDYCAR a lot during the races in Las Vegas and Phoenix. To the point where she was comparing NASCAR with the sport, as well as bringing it up during the race a little too much.

Many fans were left tired and frustrated with her references, as one fan wrote on Twitter, “Indy Car this, Indy Car that… Danica this is #NASCAR.” 

While another used the veil of humor to make the point come across effectively as the tweet read, “Take a drink every time Danica says INDY!”

Danica Patrick revealed she looks at feedback, both good and bad

In a recent interview, the former NASCAR driver revealed that she looks at, and takes into consideration, the feedback she has received for her short broadcasting stint this season.

She revealed how it’s all about the perspective from which one looks at the information, regardless of whether it’s good or bad.

“I do a little bit. It can be dangerous, but it’s information,” she said. “There’s a certain level of looking at perspectives where it gives you information, even if it’s bad.”

However, in her case, she revealed it has been “pretty good so far.” 

“I’ve gotten quite a few nice messages, and it seems like there’s been good feedback on social media,” she added.
