In an electrifying display of strength and celebrity camaraderie, NASCAR trailblazer Danica Patrick was spotted breaking a sweat alongside political figures Lara Trump and Tulsi Gabbard in Washington, D.C. This unexpected trio took on the viral Pete and Bobby challenge, a grueling fitness test that has taken social media by storm. Originating from the dynamic duo of Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (affectionately known as Bobby), the challenge demands participants to conquer 100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups within a nail-biting 10-minute window.
While the outcome of their intense workout remains a mystery, Lara Trump enthusiastically shared a snapshot of their gym session on Instagram, declaring, “Heck of a morning doing the Pete & Bobby Challenge (100 pushups and 50 pull ups in under 10 mins) with this group of badasses! Tune in to @myviewfnc on @foxnews this Saturday at 9pm to see who came out on top!!”
Danica Patrick, a pioneer for women in motorsport, has left an indelible mark in the racing world. The 43-year-old made history as the only female driver to clinch victory at the Indy Japan 300 in 2008 and was the first woman to secure a pole position in the NASCAR Cup Series. Patrick’s performance in the 2013 Daytona 500, where she finished P8, still stands as the highest placement by a woman in this prestigious event. Although she has stepped back from racing, she continues to engage with the sport as a pundit for Sky Sports F1, preparing for the upcoming 2025 season.
However, Patrick’s journey isn’t without controversy. Recently, she voiced strong criticism regarding the NFL’s choice of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX, set for February 8, 2026. In a candid interview on Bannon’s WarRoom on X, formerly Twitter, she articulated her concerns: “I don’t have any problem with someone performing in the halftime that is not from the United States, although Bad Bunny is technically a citizen because he was born in Puerto Rico. I don’t care where you were actually born; what I care is that I can sing along to the music. And his music is almost nothing in English.”
Patrick emphasized the significance of the Super Bowl as a unifying event for Americans, estimating an audience of around 127 million people. “It’s where Americans come together as a country, enjoy themselves, and, most importantly, sing along with the halftime performance,” she asserted, suggesting that the language barrier could hinder the experience if Bad Bunny takes center stage.
Stay tuned as this dynamic trio continues to make waves, both in the gym and the political arena, proving that fitness and fame go hand in hand!
