Danica Patrick criticizes Martin Truex Jr. for his statements about the death of Sherry Pollex. Pollex, a highly respected figure in NASCAR, passed away during the 2023 season. She was a longtime partner of the 2017 Cup champion and dedicated herself to charitable efforts for women and children affected by cancer.
In response to Pollex’s death, former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick sparked controversy with her statements criticizing Martin Truex Jr.’s treatment of Pollex. Patrick took to Instagram to share her thoughts, using strong language that caught attention on social media.
During a recent interview on a YouTube channel hosted by a former driver, Patrick was asked about her choice of words. She explained that her frustration with Truex Jr. was based on her personal experiences with him on the track. Patrick stated that many people praised her for speaking out against him.
As a former SHR (Stewart-Haas Racing) driver, Patrick had previously acknowledged that she often faced unnecessary aggression from the 2017 Cup champion. It is understandable why she formed a negative opinion about Truex Jr.’s character. However, it is worth noting that the language she used at that time was quite strong.
In the same interview, Patrick discussed her life after retirement. She revealed that she has delved deeper into spirituality and religion in recent years, expressing a long-standing interest in these subjects. This new focus may explain her frequent social media posts sharing unconventional and controversial stories related to science and spirituality. It seems that Patrick has found a new sense of purpose after dedicating much of her time to her racing career.
