Patrick’s final NASCAR race at the Daytona 500 captured her career to perfection. Patrick smooched her boyfriend and then kissed her NASCAR career goodbye when she was caught up in a wreck in Sunday’s race. She’ll make a return in May to IndyCar and race the Indianapolis 500 before Patrick calls it quits on her racing career. The 35-year-old Patrick is the only woman to start the Daytona 500 from the pole, lead laps in the race and is the highest-finishing female in the 60 years of the race. She never won another pole after her breakthrough at the 2013 Daytona 500.
