This week pro race car driver Danica Patrick announcing her team for the Daytona 500. The race will be one of her final two competitions before she makes her retirement. Cheddar Anchor Tim Stenovec speaks with Patrick about how she is readying for this race, and life after Nascar. "One of the things that's really exciting to me also is keeping in mind that I have this cool platform to do other things," said Patrick. "I have a lot of side-hustle going on." When looking at the future of Nascar, Patrick says her sport is based on personalities. And with many big names getting out of the game, she says the industry has to get more interactive and offer more behind-the-scenes depth.
