Danica Patrick sang President Donald Trump's praises, saying he is "so easy to talk to" after traveling with him to a recent political rally.
The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver took to Instagram on Oct. 21 to share photos of herself with Trump, including one traveling in his motorcade and others from Air Force One.
While urging fans to vote in the midterm elections, Patrick lauded the president as "a great story teller … funny and obviously interesting."
"I wish you could all have just 5 minutes with @potus! He is so easy to talk to and SO fun to listen to!" she wrote.
Patrick, who retired from racing in 2018, was in the audience as Trump spoke at a rally in Park City, Kansas, for Sen. Roger Marshall on Oct. 19.
Patrick, 44, has been a vocal Trump
supporter since his 2024 run. She previously revealed on Instagram that she voted for the first time in that year's race.
Danica Patrick praises Trump's 'intelligence, leadership'
Patrick wrote in her lengthy Instagram post that Trump "is also very curious what your opinion is pertaining to any topic."
"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," she added.
Two years ago, Patrick revealed that she voted for the first time when casting her ballot for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
"I made a rule for myself that if I didn’t vote I could not have an opinion about the outcome, because I didn’t earn that right. Not this time," she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Trump calls Danica Patrick 'beautiful and unbelievably brave'
Trump called Patrick a "star" while he was speaking on stage at the Park City rally.
"She's beautiful and unbelievably brave," he said. "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, but she was great and just highly competitive."
This isn't the first time Trump has mentioned Patrick while she was in the audience.
At a Turning Point USA event in April, Trump said: "I love Danica. I love her hair. I always liked her hair, like the little widow's peak."
