Danica Patrick reveals why she indulges ‘crazy’ conspiracy theorists

Danica Patrick recently explained why she explores various conspiracy theories on her podcast in a new interview. The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver faced criticism on social media after hosting episodes that delved into topics like the existence of aliens and lizard people. She also expressed support for the “Chemtrail” conspiracy during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast.

These outspoken views led to rumors on social media that she had been fired from her role as a pundit on Sky Sports F1, but these rumors were later proven to be false.

When asked on the BigDeal podcast why she interviews conspiracy theorists, Patrick shared that she enjoys exploring why people believe in these ideas. “When someone says something that sounds kind of crazy, I like to dig deeper into how they got their information,” she explained.

She added, “I’ve had quite a few of those wild podcasts where we talk about aliens, lizard people, and even the possibility of planet cataclysms that shaped the Earth. I love exploring the nature of reality, so I also enjoy talking to physicists and archaeologists—people who are investigating our origins.”

Patrick also mentioned that her father often questions why she asks about things that may not have clear answers, to which she responds, “You’ll never get answers if you don’t ask, so it’s important to keep expanding your thoughts.”
