Former racing star Danica Patrick stunned a conservative audience on Saturday by detailing a ‘past life regression’ that involved her living as a Native American.
The NASCAR and IndyCar icon delivered the unexpected remarks while speaking at day three of Turning Point USA’s Americafest.
Patrick, who has become a prominent voice in conservative circles, used the story in an attempt to illustrate the importance of courage and facing one’s fears.
In doing so, the 43-year-old explained that she underwent a ‘past life regression’ with a therapist to access hidden memories.
‘I did a past life regression,’ she began. ‘Past life regression is when you meet with a past life regression therapist, you get into a very meditative state, very relaxed, and they guide you through being able to access memories to your past lives’.
She claimed the guided session transported her vision to the wilderness of Nevada or Utah.

‘So this guided me into the vision somewhere in like Nevada or Utah, and I was a Native American, and I had a stick, and I left my tribe, and I journeyed south.
‘I was on my way to what would have been like the original (Los Angeles area) when it was first sort of civilized.
In the vision, she claimed that she began selling medicine at a local market, before eventually building a community around her work.
‘And so in this vision, like 10 years had gone by, and I was doing this regularly,’ she continued.
‘And then the vision went sort of empty for like 30 or 40 years,’ Patrick said. ‘And so this landed me, maybe in my 70s or something… but nothing was in my memory from that time period.
‘And the message was that I could be killed for doing what I loved and what was meant for me and my passion, or I could die inside anyway.’
She used the anecdote to urge the audience to speak out on political issues regardless of the social or personal costs.
‘It might be speaking out, saying something in front of people for the first time that you’ve never said (before), sharing something about yourself that you’ve never shared,’ she urged.
‘Are you going to let fear win?’ she asked the crowd. ‘You say no.’
The speech comes during a high-profile year for Turning Point USA, which recently mourned the loss of its founder, Charlie Kirk, after his assassination earlier this year.
Patrick was joined at the event by other high-profile speakers, including Riley Gaines and Rob Schneider.

The bizarre story comes just days after Patrick revealed her new mystery boyfriend in a holiday Instagram post.
Elsewhere at the event, Nicki Minaj suffered an embarrassing gaffe in front of Erika Kirk as she attempted to praise JD Vance as an ‘assassin.’
The singer, real name Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, 43, put her head in her hands as she used the poor choice of words while speaking with Charlie Kirk’s widow at Turning Point USA’s AmFest on Sunday.
The moment came as Kirk asked Minaj what her message is to young men, and she warned them not to be like ‘New-scum’ – an insult on California Governor Gavin Newsom.
‘Young men, you have amazing role models like our handsome dashing president,’ Minaj continued.
‘And you have amazing role models like the assassin JD Vance, our vice president.’
The singer appeared to quickly realize she used the word ‘assassin’ in front of the widow whose husband was assassinated in September, and paused with her head down.
