During this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 race, which is part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, star female race Danica Patrick and defending champion Brad Keselowski were involved in a two-car wreck thanks to another racer, Danica's boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stenhouse bumped off of Danica, sending her spinning into Keselowski's bumper, causing the wreck. The 5-hour race saw many incidents like this one and racer Kevin Harvick came out as the victor. So does this mean trouble in paradise for the recently divorced Patrick and her new boyfriend Stenhouse?

Though they might have some issues to talk about, the couple may keep their relationship off of the track. They probably don't mix their business with pleasure, so hopefully this doesn't affect their relationship.

Plus, it turns out that the other crash victim, Brad Keselowski, has been taking the blame fro the wreck. After the race, the defending Sprint Cup Series winner said:

"I just cut Danica off. I didn't know she was still down there and I caused a big wreck. ... I cut her off and wrecked her and myself. I feel bad for her and I send my apologies to her."

Earlier this year, Kesolowski said that he considered Danica Patrick "someone that hasn't won races or proved that she is competitive."

While discussing the wreck on her team radio, Patrick agreed that the wreck was caused by Stehouse sliding into her.

In a statement through her team, Danica Patrick said:

"I felt like we were making real progress and starting to get the car to a place that was really good, and had an accident, which is unfortunate because we were moving up. But nothing we can do about it now."
