SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Danica Patrick paid a $196 fine to settle a speeding ticket after the star race car driver was caught going 54 mph in a 35 mph zone last month.
Patrick, the first woman to win an IndyCar race, was due in traffic court on Monday, but a Scottsdale City Court clerk says she paid the fine on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old driver was pulled over by Scottsdale police on Dec. 9 in her hometown while driving a 2007 Mercedes. A year ago, she was ticketed for driving 57 mph in a 40 mph zone in Scottsdale and was ordered to attend traffic school.
Scottsdale court records show the recent tickets are among several she has received in the past three years.
A call to Patrick's racing team wasn't immediately returned.
