Patrick finished the season in 5th overall in the point standings, which gave her the best finish by an American driver in 2009

The 2010 Indianapolis 500 got off to a bad start for Patrick when difficulties with the car setup led her to publicly removing blame from herself for poor qualifying results. Her comments that the car was "absolutely awful" and that "it's not my fault," led the crowd to boo and chant Patrick loudly as they took it as her blaming the whole incident on her team and not taking any responsibility for her very bad session. Patrick was also booed during driver intros. Despite starting in 23rd position, Patrick moved up 17 positions to finish in 6 th.

In her season opener at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Patrick started in 19th and finished 12th after sustaining front wing damage and having to pit for a replacement twice. On May 21, due to unexplainable team-wide fails with the cars, Patrick, and the rest of her teammates would fail to race for the 2011 Indianapolis 500, forcing them all to have to attempt to race on the following day for the last nine positions in the race.
