Follow Us
It seems like an eternity ago, but there was once such a thing as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that went viral, for all the right reasons. And not to get left behind, NASCAR stars also took part in the challenge, including the sport’s trailblazer, Danica Patrick.
In 2014, when Patrick was still an active-NASCAR driver, she took part in the famous challenge in which she was helped by her then-boyfriend, Ricky Stenhouse Jr – “I’m Danica Patrick and I accept the ALS Ice Bucket challenge.”
“Okay honey, take out all that frustration,” Patrick told Stenhouse Jr. as he joked before pouring the bucket on her, to which she, naturally, shrieked, then got up, and admitted, “That was wonderful.”

After completing the challenge though, Patrick further nominated Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the spot to take part in the same thing, as she revealed she has the ice buckets ready to go.

Danica Patrick and her dating history
Danica Patrick has a few big names in her dating history, beginning with fellow driver and the then-rookie of the year, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. She also recently broke up with Carter Comstock, an entrepreneur after almost a year of dating.
However, arguably, the biggest and most famous relationship of her life was with NFL player Aaron Rodgers.

The NASCAR-NFL pair dated for over a year before deciding to split up, something Patrick called an experience that helped her learn a lot in life.
“I think we learn the most about ourselves through relationships, but there’s nothing like heartbreak to really throw you in the deep end of that,” she said in a 2021 episode of “Running Wild With Bear Grylls.”

“I’ve learned a lot, and as broken open as I was on the sad end, I have felt so much joy in so many more instances and so many more unlikely places than I ever have, so it’s like my heart got broken open to both ends of the spectrum.”
