April 20, 2008
After riding "topless" for most of her career in open-cockpit cars, Danica Patrick is moving full-time to the Sprint Cup in 2013. Here's a look back at her Top 12 career moments thus far.
Competing in Montegi, Japan, Patrick tracked down Helio Castroneves and beat him to the checkered flag in a race that was determined by fuel mileage. In doing so, she became the first female driver to win a major closed-course race.
