Dancia Patrick has turned in her fire suit for a swimsuit in Sports Illustrated. She will be one of the women featured in the magazine's annual swimsuit issue which comes out this week.
"What an amazing honor to be asked to be in the SI Swimsuit issue," said Patrick, who will join other models and celebrities at a launch party today in New York City. "It's such an amazing publication and has such a following. I look at it and I like to see the pictures, and I'm a girl so I can't imagine how many people will see the issue."
How much Dancia will readers get in the magazine? Four pages. The photos were taken at Singer Island, Fla., by photographer Ben Watts in the fall during IndyCar Series testing at Barber Motorsports Park. There is also a 44-photo gallery online.
"It was a lot of fun, actually," she said. "I expected it to be nerve-wracking. I've posed in clothes, but I'd never posed in a swimming suit. I didn't know if I'd know exactly what to do, but amazingly it all translated over. I was comfortable and we all had fun. We shot so much stuff in a relatively little amount of time. It was a day and half of a good time. We even were able to relax a little after the second day."
In addition to the photo shoot, Patrick was also interviewed by new senior writer and columnist Dan Patrick.
