For some reason this week, Sports Illustrated decided to release a video of NASCAR star Danica Patrick from one of her photo shoots with them back in either 2008 or 2009. So since it is Throwback Thursday and all I saw a golden opportunity to get a little nostalgic. Here’s the video they shared…

Hard to believe that was 14 years ago already. (And she still has only one freaking win combined in IndyCar and NASCAR. No booing though, please.)
Oh well, at least she has her yoga…
