Indy Car’s sexiest driver, Danica Patrick, sat down with Playboy for a 20 question interview.  Here’s some of what she had to say:

PB: When you were a little girl, which was your toy of choice, Barbies or Hot Wheels?

DP: Well, it depends on what age we’re talking about.  I had hundreds of Barbies, and I turned cardboard boxes on their sides and made them into Barbie houses.  But I always liked Mr. T, too.  That must have been the start of something masculine.  And I did have a Barbie car.

PB: What were the first vehicles you raced?

DP: Little go-karts with small lawn-mower engines in them. They were five-horsepower engines that might have gone 40 or 45 miles and hour.  I was 10 years old, and I caught on to it quickly.  I almost won the championship the first year.  I went back to Sugar River Raceway a few years ago and looked at all the files from the first year I drove.  I could see the lap times, the qualifying positions and the results.  You could see that midseason it clicked, and all of a sudden I was two seconds quicker than anybody else.  I started winning all the time.

PB: What was your first car?

DP: It was a Mustang Cobra, back when Mustangs were still pretty exclusive and cool.  I was hard on it.  I went through a brand-new set of brakes in a couple thousand miles.  The car ended up with 8,000 miles on it when we sold it.  I didn’t have it that long, and I was on my third set of brakes.
