Off the Racetrack With Danica Patrick -

may know driver professional race car Danica Patrick for his revolutionary career on the circuit. But this September, it will also be front and center promoting the power of life insurance as a spokesman of the Life Insurance Awareness Month, coordinated by Life Happens.

Here, it opens on the life and life insurance.

You are an accomplished professional and fierce race, but everyone has to start somewhere. Do you remember your first race?

Danica Patrick: There is actually quite unforgettable. My sister and I started racing Go Karts when I was 10 and she was 8. The first time we released them, he was in the large parking lot behind the company of my parents. We set up boxes in a circle so we can do laps. But once there my brake pedal fell to the ground, and I did not know what to do. Instead of turning or rotating, I went straight, and at the last minute veered to miss a trailer built and crashed into a concrete wall. I twisted the Go Kart, flew, got bruised leg the whole affair. It does not scare me, but by all means my first racing experience is not going well.

When did you first get life insurance, or at least consider it?

Danica Patrick: It was an easy decision for me to get a life insurance policy at a young age. I participate in a risky sport where I drive 0 miles an hour with concrete walls around me. In addition, I had the chance to have a successful career from the beginning, and I want my family to be looked after if anything should happen to me, especially since my parents sacrificed so much for me to get where I am.

But go a little further, both my parents have lost their father when they were teenagers, and neither had life insurance. My mother was one of five children, and remembers that his mother had to sell most of the farm later. When my sister and I came along, my parents had life insurance. They wanted to be safe, based on their experience, that we would be taken care of if anything happened to them. It certainly stuck with me.

You are only as good as your goals and aspirations. So shoot for the stars and land on the moon! That's my plan

LH :. People might think, "Well, I'll never run at Talladega. I do not need life insurance"

Danica Patrick :. Certainly my situation is unique. most people do not drive racecars for a living, so I think it is probably easier for them to put off getting life insurance. think you have the time. you're not expecting anything to happen, but it can. a good friend of mine in the race has lost its chief car for a heart attack at the age of 34. C is crazy. bad things can happen. That's just life. and that is why life insurance is just an easy and intelligent way to eliminate the risk of your life.

I think also there is a misconception that only the main breadwinner needs life insurance. the other partner may be doing the cooking and cleaning, running the kids around and all kinds of things that help family works. If anything happens to them, those things remain to be done, and it might not be enough time in the day to the other half to take care of these things or the money to hire someone to do it. It therefore makes sense for the two to have a life insurance

LH:.? What is it like being a woman in a sport dominated by men

Danica Patrick: it is difficult to answer because it's all I've ever been, but what does that mean? This means that anything is possible. This means that you are only as good as your goals and aspirations. So shoot for the stars and land on the moon! That's my plan

LH :. We all want to know what you're like behind the wheel when you're just driving down the road.

Danica Patrick: Well, I have to admit I'm pretty aggressive on the regular route. I was told that I have to take this aggression from the road to the most often racecourse. So I practice it! It will pay much better in my work

LH :. Any advice separation

[1945003?] Danica Patrick: regarding life insurance, think this way: If you were to pass, it will be terrible for those who remain. There are people who will cry and suffer, perhaps both financially, and all you can do to make this transition as easy as possible is the kind thing to do, the selfless thing to do.
