NEW YORK - You've seen Danica Patrick crushing the competition on the track and steaming up the screen in her hot GoDaddy commercials, but she's going in a completely different direction for this year's Super Bowl ads.
The 31 year old Indy and NASCAR driver, who proved that she could hold her own with the big boys when she took first place in the Indy Japan 300 in 2008, enters a different kind of race for her 2014 GoDaddy spot.
Patrick joins in with a crowd of jacked bodybuilders sporting a muscled up figure and prosthetic of course, as they frantically run through the streets.
Wearing a muscle suit and posing as a body builder was a new experience and a new challenge, even for Danica.
“I’m always pretty much up for whatever. They have done some creative things, but this one was definitely one of the most interesting, I thought. That suit took four hours to get into, between getting it on, which was extremely tight and cut the circulation off to my arms. My hands felt like sausages by the end of it,” she said.

Patrick had to wear a body-builder costume designed by Legacy Effects, a special effects studio that specializes in such suits. It’s most recent work includes suits for such popular movie characters as Captain America, X-Men and RoboCop. The GoDaddy muscle suit took three weeks to build and four hours to get Patrick into it.
The worst part, she said, was ... well, we’ll let her explain.
“I was in the suit for seven hours and I didn’t pee once,” she said.
“This might be vivid, but they have a zipper down below and they gave me a funnel to put down there, and I’m just going to say, couldn’t do it. It wouldn’t happen. It was like I was wearing clothes that just felt wrong. But on the other hand, it didn’t really matter if I had to go to the bathroom, my abs were spray-painted on. I could have had a food baby in there and it wouldn’t have mattered,” she told.
