Terry Joseph and Beverly Ann have a famous daughter, Danica Patrick. Terry, often known as TJ, was instrumental in guiding Danica from karting to Cup driving. Brooke, the couple’s second child, works as a pediatric physical therapist. Brooke was initially interested in learning to drive a go-kart, but eventually her older sister became intrigued.
Danica’s parents contributed significantly to her life and achievements. In 2010, the pair guided her career before she signed with IMG World. Danica Sue Patrick, former professional American racing driver, was born on March 25, 1982 in Beloit, Wisconsin. Patrick was experienced in winning from a young age, having won the World Karting Association Grand National Championship three times in the mid-1990s.
In addition, the NASCAR superstar has won other awards, including Rookie of the Year in the 2005 IndyCar Series, Rookie of the Year in the 2005 Indianapolis 500, and Most Popular Driver in the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series. Her win at the 2008 Indy Japan 300 made her the most successful woman in American open-wheel auto racing. She is also the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race. She also holds the record for the highest race for women in the Indianapolis 500 and Daytona 500, as well as some of the first women in American auto racing.
Danica Patrick Parents: TJ Patrick and Beverly Ann Danica
Patrick was born to his parents, Terry “TJ” Patrick and Beverly Ann. Besides Danica, the couple in love has another daughter, Brooke. The couple reportedly met on a blind date at a snowmobile event, where the mother of two worked as a mechanic for a friend’s machine. Unfortunately, there are no public documents from the wedding.
However, the former runner has excellent support from her parents. As a former runner, TJ served as her crew chief while her mother kept track of her race stats. Back in 2015, the father of two founded a new go-kart team to help nurture bright young talent. The former runner sought to pass on the tactics that helped their daughter rise to fame. Danica revealed in the interview that her father is enthusiastic about karting. Nevertheless, she was grateful to her father that he was not a pusher, but a puller.
TJ was overcome with emotion when the former NASCAR great announced his retirement in 2018. The caring father fully supported his daughter’s choice. He believed it was the right time to start a new chapter in her life.
Life Beyond Racing: Television and Film
In addition to winning racing trophies, Danica also had many notable media appearances. Patrick has experience behind the camera, having hosted various TV shows for the Paramount Network and appeared in the 2005 documentary Girl Racers. The former NASCAR driver appeared in the music video for Jay-Z’s song in 2006. She made her acting debut on February 10, 2010 in an episode of CSI: New York. In addition to appearing in popular television series such as The Simpsons and South Park, Danica began working as an analyst for Fox NASCAR Xfinity Series events in 2015.
Danica also worked as a studio commentator for NBC’s coverage of the 2019 Indianapolis 500. In August of the same year, the former racer launched a weekly podcast with guests on topics such as success and spirituality. In addition, the racing star has her own wine brand, Somnium, as well as her own leisure line, “Warrior by Danica Patrick”.
After her divorce from ex-husband Paul Edward Hospenthal, the former NASCAR racer had many romances, notably with fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and then-Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Her last engagement, to American businessman Carter Comstock, unfortunately ended in 2022. There are no new reports on who the runner-turned-media personality is currently seeing.
