Ex-NASCAR star Danica Patrick has heaped praise on Donald Trump, claiming ‘there will never be another’ like him after traveling in Air Force One with the President.
The 44-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday to post snaps sitting beside Trump, after joining him on a journey to a midterm campaign rally near Wichita, Kansas.
In her post, the retired IndyCar driver detailed her whirlwind experience traveling with the Commander-in-Chief and his inner circle this week.
She wrote: ‘I wish you could all have just 5 minutes with @potus! He is so easy to talk to and SO fun to listen to! He’s a great story teller… funny and obviously interesting.
‘He is also very curious what your opinion is pertaining to any topic. And of course he is really into sports, which I love!’, the former IndyCar star continued.
‘There will never be another Donald J. Trump! He not only loves his country deeply but delivers intelligence, leadership, entertainment and humor all day long.’

Patrick also used her platform to urge conservative voters to turn out in droves for the upcoming midterm elections in two weeks.
‘Our job was not done with the election 2 years ago. Big shifts take time and we have to keep showing up!
‘Let’s help him and his amazing staff make the most of the last half of his presidency by getting out there and voting in 2 weeks! Keeping the house and senate ensure this rational and patriotic momentum keeps going!!!!!!’
Reflecting on the unique travel experience, Patrick marveled at joining the presidential motorcade and traveling across the skies in luxury.
‘But can we just talk about the fact that I got to ride on Air Force 1 AND in the Beast (for a 30 min ride?!)!!!!’ she added. ‘What a life. So grateful.’
Trump reciprocated the affection during his Kansas rally appearance, singling her out for praise toward the end of his address.
‘A person that flew into the plane with me, and she’s beautiful and unbelievably brave,’ Trump told the cheering arena crowd.
‘One of the greatest race car drivers. And she happened to do it in a little bit of a man’s sport, I would say, just slightly.’
The former NASCAR star recently drew the ire of fans on social media after gushing over Trump during an appearance at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC
‘We have NASCAR driver and, really, [a] star, Danica Patrick. Thank you, Danica. Great job,’ Trump concluded during his speech.
The former NASCAR star recently drew the ire of fans on social media after making an appearance at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, DC.
Patrick, a former IndyCar and NASCAR driver, was called up by Fox to serve as an analyst for the race set up to wind through the streets of the Nation’s Capital.
However, Patrick’s commentary involved some politicking as she praised President Trump, who she has voted for in the past, for helping to put on this race.
‘Between the vision of (FOX CEO) Eric Shanks and (Penske Corporation President) Bud Denker, with the help of, of course, Secretary [of Transportation Sean] Duffy and President Donald Trump with that executive order, I think it really embodies what it is to live in America, land of the free, and anything is possible.
‘That this race was gone from concept to reality as quickly as it was, and as well as it’s been done, I think that is the perfect embodiment and celebration of 250 years of this country.’
IndyCar fans were loud and clear with their criticism of Patrick, including for her non-racing commentary, on social media.
