Danica Patrick certainly had a colorful car for her final Indianapolis 500 in 2018.

23 Days in August: No. 13, Danica Patrick, 2018 Go Daddy Dallara/Chevrolet. With a green paint job and the number 13, Patrick had herself a real hoodoo wagon for her last go-round at the Brickyard – all she needed was a bag of peanuts and she would’ve scored the trifecta of racing superstitions.

Patrick had an amazing debut in 2005, earning an incredibly loud roar from the crowd when she took the lead in the late stages of the race, which was won by Dan Wheldon. Patrick’s final 500 ended with a crash and 30th place, one of only two finishes outside the top 10 in eight starts.
