SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Police in Arizona said Indy Car racer Danica Patrick was pulled over for the activity she usually gets paid for -- speeding.

Scottsdale police said Patrick is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 5 after she was pulled over Dec. 9 in a gold 2007 Mercedes for driving 54 mph in a 35 mph zone, The Arizona Republic reported Wednesday.

The driver was previously cited for speeding in Scottsdale Jan. 5, when police said she was driving 57 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Patrick's win earlier this year at the Indy Japan 300 certified her as the first woman to win an Indy Car race. She was named Rookie of the Year in 2005 by the Indy Racing League.
