Danica Patrick knows how to make an entrance, and her latest weekend getaway was no exception. The 44-year-old former NASCAR and IndyCar driver turned heads with a daring see-through outfit that had fans doing double takes on social media.
Patrick spent the weekend at the 2026 Wild West Invitational at Scottsdale National Golf Club, where she joined her sister and a group of friends for a few days of golf, concerts, and plenty of laughs. She shared highlights from the trip on Instagram, including a photo of her dinner ensemble that quickly became the talk of the comments section.
“Incredible 2026 Wild West Invitational @scottsdalenational!!!! So fun to hang with my sister and all the ladies for a few days! We laughed, we played, we drank, we danced and we needed a 3 day nap after. 😜,” she captioned the post, also thanking Dr. Bob Parsons and Renee L. Parsons for their hospitality.
The photo in question shows Patrick in a sheer, stylish outfit that left little to the imagination, and fans couldn't get enough. Comments ranged from playful to complimentary, with one user joking about “the twins from The Shining,” while others simply wrote “Stunning!!!” and “Awesome 🙌❤️🙌🔥🔥.”
Patrick's love for golf has been growing in recent years, and she's been diving into the sport since stepping away from full-time racing in 2018. The former driver has stayed active through a mix of weightlifting, running, tennis, and of course, golf. Her weekend at Scottsdale National is just the latest example of how she's embracing life after racing.
It's not surprising that Patrick's fashion choices generate buzz, especially given her history of turning heads both on and off the track. She joins a list of athletes and sports personalities who've sparked similar reactions with their social media posts, like Paige Spiranac's viral hotel robe photo or Gracie Hunt's bachelorette swimsuit snaps.
At 44, Patrick continues to show that retirement doesn't mean slowing down. Whether she's on the golf course or at a dinner event, she's clearly having fun and keeping her fans entertained. Her weekend escapade is proof that she's still very much in the spotlight, and her fans are loving every moment.
For those who miss seeing her in a race car, Patrick's golf outings offer a glimpse into her new passion. And with her active lifestyle, it's safe to say she'll be making more headlines in the years to come.
