Danica Patrick Delivers Inspiring Message to Foxcroft School Students

10/23/15 — Auto racer Danica Patrick recently paid a visit to Foxcroft School to discuss, amongst other things, racing, engineering, and breaking barriers for women. Patrick’s visit began in the library, which was filled to capacity with students, faculty, parents, and press, for a Q&A with the students. Patrick spoke of her career in racing, and of the challenges she has faced being in a profession dominated by men. “At times it has been a challenge getting people to believe in what I can do and getting what I need to run with the big boys,” Patrick noted, “But I have always believed, I was brought up to try to be the best at whatever I am doing — not just the best girl.” Patrick concluded her visit by encouraging the students to follow their passions. According to Patrick, “there’s no dream too big.”
