Patrick discusses the politics of NASCAR paddock

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Patrick revealed the politics of those in the NASCAR paddock, and provided an insight into her own.

“Where I came from NASCAR. I don’t know if there’s anyone very liberal or a democrat in the whole garage, it’s very Republican, very conservative,” she said.

Patrick then discussed her own politics with Carlson, and revealed that she had never voted.

“I feel like I have lived my lifestyle in a bit more casual way - I believe that people should be able to choose their life path, so those are kind of more liberal thoughts,” she added.

“But I also think the country should be run a little bit more like a business. I suppose I have more conservative approaches to how things should be run.

“So I never really got interested because I didn’t have time, space, energy, felt like it mattered to me. But now I’m at this point where it’s kind of coming at me.

“I feel that it's a good time to care. I’ve never even voted. I’m not registered I’ve never voted and my argument against it was that I’m not going to complain about it.

“If I complain I have to do my part- I have my choices and preferences but what’s happening is what’s happening.”
