In 2005, Danica Patrick made the cover of Sports Illustrated after her fourth-place finish in the Indianapolis 500.
This year, she graces the magazine's cover before the 92nd Running of the 500-Mile Race.
The cover headline:
Yes She Can
Danica Revs Up for Indy
The May 19 issue will be on newsstands May 14.
Lars Anderson writes about Patrick's megawatt star power on Pole Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, during which she qualified fifth for the May 25 race. On April 27 at Twin Ring Motegi, Patrick became the first female to win a major closed-course auto race.
During her first excursion to the Indianapolis 500 in '05, Patrick qualified and finished fourth. She became the first female to lead a lap (19 overall), and battled eventual winner Dan Wheldon for the point in the latter stages before fading because of fuel mileage. Her run triggered a groundswell of media and promotional opportunities that continue to this day.
Winning the Indy Japan 300 in her 50th IndyCar Series race has heightened the interest in the driver and series.
Patrick will be joined on Row 2 by Andretti Green Racing teammate Tony Kanaan and Team Penske's Helio Castroneves.
