The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver is retired from racing. She retired in 2018, after more than a decade of professional competition. Patrick, who is from the Midwest, broke barriers in both NASCAR and IndyCar.

While Patrick has been retired from racing for more than five years, she’s continued to stay active. Patrick has been taking up tennis and is playing a lot of golf, too.

“I decided to actually learn how to play golf about 2 years ago. Of course it’s a little seasonal, mostly for heat in AZ but also work and skiing! I thought I finally had it figured out last fall. Then I forgot how to hit my driver to start the year off…. Until about 10 days ago. I remembered just as mysteriously as I forgot,” she said on Instagram.

“Golf is a funny game…. And mostly played by those who just love to be hard on themselves. A game you will never master and repeatedly wonder – why am I doing this to myself?!”

While Patrick has been playing a lot of golf and tennis, she’s hitting the gym hard, too.

Patrick does a lot of weight training. The 43-year-old NASCAR and IndyCar analyst, who also covers Formula 1 for Sky Sports, turned heads in a pair of tiny shorts at the gym on Monday.

It appeared to be leg day for the longtime professional racing star. Patrick took to her Instagram Story to show off her outfit at the gym on Monday afternoon, April 21.

Patrick is clearly still in elite shape as she approaches her mid-40s. She’s made it a point to stay active and clearly her hard work is paying off.

The former NASCAR and IndyCar star is trending on social media for her gym outfit and it’s easy to see why.
