Retired NASCAR driver Danica Patrick has an Instagram account turbocharged with epic pictures. As the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race, Patrick is a certified race car legend, so let's shift into high gear, and look back at some of her best posts over the years.

In March 2021, Patrick took a "dreamy" trip to Egypt — posting an Instagram dump riding camels in front of the Egyptian pyramids. In the first picture, she jokingly mimicked the camel she was posing with. This would not be Patrick's last time seeing the ancient pyramids, as she revisited Egypt in December 2023.

The Wisconsin native captioned her post, "As if the last day of the Egyptian initiation trip couldn't get any better, I hitch hiked a ride on a camel! 🐪 ......dreamy trip ✨✨✨ • The last picture with my arms up in the air was a symbolic shot....when I won my first go-kart race at 10 I went across the finish line doing the same thing. Winning, as I finally made it to Egypt! 🙌🏼."

Patrick is clearly not afraid to get a little dirty in the desert, as she attended the Burning Man festival — a week-long festival in the Nevada desert — in 2022. Many other celebrities like Paris Hilton, Katy Perry, and Elon Musk have attended the iconic event.

In the photos, Patrick poses in a risqué all-black outfit, which includes a body suit, leather jacket, and tights. In other photos included in the post, she wears a gold sequin top with black booty shorts.

The wine brand owner was even able to enjoy her own wine at the festival, captioning the September 2022 carousel swipe, "Burning man fashion is a thing. And sometimes skin is the fashion. 😜 Then of course we found the tiniest and coolest spot called "the champagne room"! I brought over some @danicarosewine and @somniumwine! 🍷 We rode over during a very windy white out, hence the scarfs and goggles.... because, wine. Haha."

In May 2023, the sportscaster took a blast to the past as she posted photos of herself at the Indy 500. However, this time, she was not there to race, but rather report.

She posted 5 photos and one video of herself showing off her fabulous pink ensemble that consisted of a matching blazer and skirt set. In the first photo, she stands on top of the Indy 500 stand and throws up a peace sign.

"Love still being part of the Indy 500!!!!! 🏁 Damn the end got wild... I used to do that?! 🤣 Thanks @indycaronnbc @miketiriconbc @dalejr @leighdiffey@townsendbell @hinchtown for being a super fun crew!!!," the model captioned her post.

Patrick's racing career was fueled by love as she posted a beautiful father's day tribute for her dad, TJ Patrick. The entrepreneur posted two pictures in the swipe — the first was a recent picture at a race, and the second was an adorable throwback picture of a mini Patrick with her father as she holds a trophy.

Patrick captioned the June 2024 post, "Doesn't seem so long ago that you were teaching me how to apex corners and dream into what would become history. Love you pops. Thank you for making me strong.... And fast. 😉 Happy Father's Day!."
