A candid and funny Danica Patrick is featured in a new series of Facebook videos produced by Nationwide Insurance, the NASCAR series sponsor who hopes Patrick's presence will help drive more interest in stock-car racing's second-tier circuit.
In the five-part series, called "Danica Patrick: Inside Track," Patrick discuses various racing topics – from her race-day routine to interacting with NASCAR fans.
Below the jump is an exclusive sample clip in which Patrick talks about what a typical conversation with another driver is like and what fans might not realize while watching a race:
All five episodes feature footage of Patrick preparing for race day, as well as the interview footage. Nationwide says its goal was to help fans get an inside look at one of the series' most popular drivers.
You can view the videos (at least four of them – the fifth one hasn't been released yet) on the NASCAR Nationwide Series Facebook fan page.
