NASCAR drivers Danica Patrick and Brad Keselowski were knocked out of the Sprint Cup Series Coca-Cola 600 this weekend after a Patrick's boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. bumped into Patrick on the race track.
Keselowski took the blame for the incident at first, not knowing that it was a three-wide crash.
"I was three-wide with Danica and didn't know it, and I cut her off and wrecked her and myself," Keselowski said in a press statement after the race. "I feel bad for her and I send my apologies to her."
Keselowski was forced to stop racing shortly after the crash with 317 laps to go, while Stenhouse and Patrick were able to continue.

Patrick finished 29th in the race and seemed "angry" as she left the racetrack. She refused to talk with reporters about the incident according to USA Today.
Stenhouse finished 14th, and Kevin Harvick won the race. Kasey Kahne finished second, followed by Kurt Busch and Denny Hamlin.
Patrick became the first female NASCAR driver to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole, a feat she accomplished at the Daytona 500 in 2013. In 2012, she was named NASCAR Nationwide Series Most Popular Driver according to ESPN.
That wasn't the only crash to take place during the race however, as another three-wide incident involving drivers Mark Martin, Aric Almirola, and Jeff Gordon.
