Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. end five-year relationship
Joseph Spears
After nearly five years together, Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. have called it quits.
Patrick and Stenhouse announced that they were a couple back in 2013 after Patrick made her move from IndyCar to NASCAR. Considered by many to be NASCAR's power couple, rumors of the two getting engaged have circulated for years.
Those rumors quickly changed this past November and turned to speculation about if the two were even together anymore. Stenhouse arrived to the NASCAR Cup Series awards ceremony without Patrick and the rumor mill really began to turn.
The two will go their separate ways in the racing world as well. Stenhouse will continue racing for Roush Fenway Racing next season while Patrick will finish her racing career with next year's Daytona 500 and then poetically finish at the Indianapolis 500.
