Patrick driven in her support of Bears

(MCT) — Danica Patrick was raised as a devoted Chicago Bears fan, and the well-known NASCAR driver says she would love to meet one Bears player in particular.

“(Brian) Urlacher,” Patrick said without hesitation. “I haven’t met him; I’d like to meet him. I haven’t met many of the Bears, to be honest. I tend to make a bad habit of meeting players from opposing teams. Like, I cheer for the Cubs but (I know) everybody on the Cardinals. Or cheering for the Bears but meeting everyone from the Packers. It’s really hard because they are always nice and it is hard for me not to cheer for (opposing teams) in some way. But I have to cheer for them personally, not as a team.”
