Danica Patrick will become the first woman to host the ESPYs, breaking another barrier when she takes the microphone for ESPN's 26th annual awards show July 18 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
"My first ESPYS was 2005, and I have been a fan, coming back every year since," said Patrick. "It is the biggest night of the year for sports. Every year I leave feeling so inspired! I am excited to be able to help celebrate, laugh and cry about the past year in sports with everyone. It's going to be a great night and one full of more than a few surprises.
