It's safe to say Danica Patrick was not happy with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. "F— No. 88. Did he f—ing hit me? Go f— yourself. Really?"



On Lap 206 of the 400-mile race, Earnhardt ran into the back of Patrick's No. 10 car. Earnhardt was heard telling his crew, "I don't have any brakes," according to NASCAR.com.

Not pleased at all, Patrick responded by running into the No. 88 car on pit road, to which Earnhardt responded by cutting her off.

Following the race, in which she finished 34th, Patrick slammed her helmet on the top of her car and stormed off to her hauler — but not before being stopped by team owner Tony Stewart, who tried to calm her down and give her a lecture on retaliation and discourse.

Earnhardt was a bit less bombastic after the race. "There wasn't nothing I could do," he said. "It sucks, I don't like running into Danica 'cause it gets a little too much attention. But I'm sorry for that."

Earnhardt made no apologies about running into Patrick, due to the situation with his brakes. "I mean what am I supposed to say other than the truth?" the Hendrick Motorsports driver said. "We didn't have any brakes going into the corner. I know better than to run into her, because it gets so much attention. There wasn't nothing I could do.

"I mean as hard as I hit her, what the hell did she think I was doing trying to wreck her? We ain't got no problem. It's not like we were having a problem out on the racetrack with her. It's not like I just drew her name out of a hat and decided she was the one I was going to run into tonight."
