Danica Patrick just lit up something more than the racetrack. The former NASCAR and IndyCar star sparked a heated reaction online after publicly supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his health-focused initiative connected to the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.
Over the weekend, Patrick, 43, took to Instagram with a bold political message, aligning herself with RFK Jr. and thanking former President Donald Trump for backing the mission.
“It was a monumental day in Washington DC with the release of the MAHA commission report,” Patrick wrote. She spoke passionately about America’s declining health and the growing concerns around medications, obesity, and childhood diagnoses.
“They make us sick and then sell us the drugs,” she added. Her post praised health advocates and political figures involved in the campaign, closing with an optimistic note: “Here’s to a country that starts firing on all cylinders.”
Fans Split Over Patrick’s Political Turn
While Patrick may have meant to rally support for a cause she believes in, not everyone in her fanbase is cheering. Some longtime followers took to the comments section to express disappointment and frustration, pointing out their discomfort with her political alignment.

“Throwing out all your stuff. So disappointed,” one Instagram user commented.
Another wrote, “Not a good look for you.”
While a third added, “She’s been conned just like the rest of MAGA.”
The backlash appears to stem from Patrick’s open praise of Trump and her alignment with Kennedy Jr., a polarizing figure known for his controversial takes on public health. Patrick’s critics argue that her involvement with the movement feels more political than health-driven, especially given the current landscape.
Still, Patrick seems unfazed. Her message stayed focused on what she calls a national crisis in health and wellness. She framed her support not as a political stunt, but as a stand for better living conditions and a healthier future.
“The way forward is clear but cluttered with challenges,” she wrote. “To all who are in power, you have an army of people who have your back.”
Patrick has never shied away from speaking her mind, and this latest move proves she’s not afraid to take risks beyond the driver’s seat. Whether fans stick around for the ride or not, she’s clearly steering in her direction.
