When most people take a break, they unplug with a quiet weekend or a beach trip. But when you’re Danica Patrick—racing legend, media personality, and political firebrand—you take it to a whole other level.
This summer, the 43-year-old swapped racetracks for sandy beaches and nightlife hotspots, giving fans a peek into her sun-soaked European adventure.
Bikini Bliss and Beachside Moments in Ibiza
In her latest Instagram update, Danica dropped a series of envy-inducing photos from her getaway to the Spanish island of Ibiza.
Rocking a blue bikini, she posed confidently by a rustic wooden beach hut before indulging in local cuisine—including a classic dish of paella at a laid-back beach club.
Her first post was captioned simply: “Beautiful Ibiza.” But the vacation wasn’t just about the beachside chill.
A follow-up post titled “Wild Ibiza” showed another side of the trip—glammed up, nightlife-ready Danica enjoying the island’s famous party scene.
Glam Night Out at Will Smith’s Mega Club
For her night out, Danica switched from bikini to bombshell, slipping into a striking red dress as she headed to the record-holding nightclub UNVRS, co-owned by none other than Will Smith.
The venue, known as the biggest club in the world, served as the perfect backdrop for her bold Ibiza transformation.
Eight Days Without Tech? Danica Tells All
Before her Ibiza chapter, Danica had already shared some travel tales from her wider European summer.
In one candid post, she joked about how “Europe in the summer” is unbeatable—listing off everything from the architecture and food to the relaxed pace and “lack of tipping.”
But she also revealed she’d briefly gone off-grid—not by choice.
“I lost my phone, credit cards, and ID,” she explained.
“Eight days with zero technology. If I didn’t respond to a message, it’s lost in the cloud… like I am here in this picture… and where I wish I still was!”
From Racing to Rallying for Trump
While Danica’s Instagram is full of travel shots and personal reflections, it’s not just bikinis and jet-setting.
She’s also gained attention for her political presence.
A longtime supporter of Donald Trump, she was heavily involved in his 2024 campaign, even hitting the trail with him as he faced off against Kamala Harris in the presidential race.
In June, she shared a moment from aboard Air Force One, where she asked Trump what he believed was the most important trait for a leader.
His one-word response? “Courage.”
Sticking With Trump—Even Through Controversy
Danica hasn’t shied away from political heat, either.
When Trump faced criticism for bombing Iran—a move even some within the MAGA crowd questioned—she stood by him.
Posting a patriotic image of herself on a speedboat with the American flag flying behind her, she thanked those “who keep America safe and strong.”
Her support didn’t waiver. Even as debates flared online, Danica continued posting her pro-America sentiments loud and proud.
Weighing In on Pop Culture Too
More recently, she chimed in on a different kind of controversy—one involving actress Sydney Sweeney and a new American Eagle ad campaign.
The ad sparked backlash, but Danica couldn’t see the issue.
“Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the new AE ads?! Very confused,” she posted to her Instagram story.
The campaign is still up across billboards and storefronts nationwide, but the online discourse hasn’t died down. Danica, though, is unfazed.
Still Bold, Still Unapologetic
From high-speed tracks to high-profile political rallies—and now high-end beach clubs—Danica Patrick continues to live life unapologetically on her own terms.
Whether she’s making headlines in the sports world, the political arena, or simply showing off her summer glow in Ibiza, one thing’s clear: she’s still racing ahead of the pack.
