Danica Patrick has revealed that her vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election will be her first time voting.
The former racing driver, 42, recently voiced her support for Trump as he prepares to battle Kamala Harris for the top White House job next month.
After previously endorsing Robert F. Kennedy Jr, he later followed by endorsing the Republican leader to claim the presidency in the November election.
Incredibly, however, while hosting a town hall in Greensboro, North Carolina, with Trump's running mate JD Vance on Thursday, Patrick confessed that he had never voted in an election before.
“I just want to say I've never voted before, but this time I have to vote,” the former IndyCar and NASCAR queen said on stage with Senator Vance of Ohio. “It's that important.”

Vance then asked Patrick to confirm that he will vote Republican in next month's election.
'I just want to be clear, I want to be on the record: you are voting for us, right?' said the senator.
“1,000 percent,” Patrick responded before joking that he would “vote twice” if he could.
Last week, Danica, who previously dated fellow NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, explained her reasons for voting for Trump over Harris.
Speaking at the Hamilton County Republican Fall Dinner, the Formula One analyst said: “I think Trump did a very good job of letting us know that fake news exists.”
'The person who runs this country should ultimately run it like a business. “I really can't think of a better businessman than Donald Trump.”
He also highlighted Trump's experience in office as an influential factor.

She made her shock while on stage with Trump's running mate, JD Vance, this week.
“There's nothing like a little experience to prepare you,” Patrick explained. 'The first rodeo is always a little difficult. I think this second rodeo could make a big difference.
'A guy like that who's been in the business so long, he'll go into that room and get things done. “That's what we need, a president who will actually make change happen.”
Patrick also encouraged people to vote early for Trump, adding, “It's a matter of doing it and helping people understand how to do it, especially people who have never voted before.”
