Behind the Scenes at Danica
Patrick's SI Swimsuit Shoot
FanHouse was recently fortunate enough to go behind
the scenes with Danica Patrick for her 2009 Sports
Illustrated Swimsuit Issue photo shoot here in New
York. Patrick talked to us between takes about what
it means to be in the Swimsuit Issue in consecutive
years, as well as her secret to staying in shape.
Watch the video below to see what Danica had to say
about this and more, and check back in a few days
for a transcript of the full interview.

CHM Announces Driver Lineup
for Rolex 24
The driver lineup for the Childress-Howard
Motorsports entry in the 2009 Rolex 24 at Daytona
has earned victories in the Rolex 24, the 24 Hours
of Le Mans, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and the
IndyCar Series.
The talented driver quartet for the No. 2 CHM
Pontiac Crawford Daytona Prototype is headed by
three-time Rolex 24 overall winner Andy Wallace
(Oxford, England) (1990, ’97, ’99).
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver and 2006 Rolex 24
overall winner Casey Mears (Mooresville, N.C.),
IndyCar Series star and 2006 Rolex 24 competitor
Danica Patrick (Roscoe, Ill) and veteran sports car
racer Rob Finlay (Charlotte, N.C) will all see
significant time behind the wheel.
Only five drivers have won more Rolex 24 overall
titles than the three earned by Wallace. His trophy
case also includes trophies from the 24 Hours of Le
Mans (1988), the 12 Hours of Sebring (1992,
’93) and the Petit Le Mans (1999).
Patrick has been one of the top stars of the
IndyCar Series since making her debut there in
2005. Last April, she became the first female to
win a major closed course auto race when she took
the checkered flag at Twin Ring Motegi in
Japan.
" So many drivers come together for this event,
which everyone wants to win and do well, but
there's such camaraderie at this event," Patrick
said. "I just had a really great time (in 2006).
The cars are fun to drive and there’s just a
unique way of competing in a 24-hour race with the
car and the people. I missed being a part of
it."
