Danica Patrick’s final NASCAR race awaits. So does her complicated, unfinished legacy.

Everyone wanted to hear what Danica Patrick had to say.

Patrick, 35, will run her final NASCAR Cup Series race next Sunday in the 60th Daytona 500. She will, barring a miraculous win in a worse car, end her career with no wins at NASCAR’s top level. The crowning achievement of her stock car career? It’s at this same track five years ago, when she won the pole for and finished eighth in the 2013 Daytona 500.

(snip)

But for as clear a part in that progression as Patrick has played, she is not eager to accept that as her legacy. She has stressed throughout her career that her priority has always been herself, not to carry the flag for women.

She is a loser.  Never had the real fire to win.  Her legacy will be she had a set of average yabo's and made a lot of left turns in a not stock car.
