Lyft has recently gotten in the habit of putting disguised celebrity sports stars behind the wheel of their cars, and filming the unsuspecting riders on their journey for wonderful free promotion from sites like this. The ride service, similar to Uber, previously let Jerry Rice and Kris Bryant go undercover, but finally decided it was time to let a true professional take the wheel.

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick is perhaps the most recognizable face in American racing, but a simple sunglasses and beanie disguise was enough to fool the Charlotte residents she picked up.

Despite dropping obvious hints to her true profession, and even going so far as to ask her passengers what they thought of Danica Patrick — most were oblivious until she revealed herself at the end of the ride.

Patrick was pretty restrained behind the wheel thanks to local traffic, but at least we got to see her smoke a mini-van off the line.
