Lindsay Brewer is quickly surpassing Danica Patrick in popularity.

Danica Patrick remains the most popular female driver of all time, but Lindsay Brewer might be coming for her title.

She’s been dubbed the “most influential female race car driver in the world” as well as the next Danica Patrick. The Colorado native first fell in love with racing at the age of 11. It started with her hopping into a go-kart at a friend’s birthday party and has transformed her into a motorsport prodigy and a social media powerhouse.

The 28-year-old model and professional race car driver is certainly racking up the followers with every post online.

At the start of her celebrity status, she had just over one million followers in 2020. Back then, she had to send a message to men about sending penis pictures to her DMs. By 2025, Lindsay Brewer was competing in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series. She has had previous stints with Saleen S1 Cup and Indy NXT.

In 2026, Brewer went viral for a tiny swimsuit she wore. Her 2.8 million followers certainly enjoyed the pink swimsuit she sported while at Laguna Beach, California.

“My kinda day🌊🎀,” she wrote. Lindsay Brewer had several pictures of herself posing on the beach and finished it off with a pose on a luxury vehicle.

Lindsay Brewer Is Still Fighting To Be Taken Seriously

Everything hasn’t been peaches and cream for Brewer in her career. Despite her love for the sport, fans find it hard to take her as anything more serious than a social media influencer.

“When I first got back into the sport, it really bothered me, and the comments would bother me,” Brewer told the New York Post in 2025.

“I was like, ‘Ugh, I’m not just an influencer, I’m also a race car driver,” Brewer added. “I’ve been racing since I was 11.’ I grew a big chunk of my following when I wasn’t racing, so once I started to race again, they were like, ‘This influencer’s pretending to be a race car driver,’ and I’m like, ‘No.’

“But then I realized everyone is going to have their opinion whether it’s right or wrong, and you can’t control how other people perceive you, they’re going to have their opinion no matter what, so I’ve really tried to get past it.”

Only 28 years old, despite taking a four-year break to study at San Diego State University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration, she is still going strong with her passion.
