Danica Patrick made her NASCAR Cup Series broadcasting debut on Sunday, calling the Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas for FOX Sports. Reviews of her performance have been pretty positive, and former driver Kenny Wallace was especially impressed with her.
Patrick raced in the Cup Series from 2012–18, finishing with seven top 10s through her career. While groundbreaking, she wasn’t a prolific race winner, but as Wallace notes—comparing her to some NFL quarterbacks that have called football—it isn’t always the greatest athletes who become the best broadcasters.
