Danica Patrick called out Martin Truex again for statement after his ex-girlfriend dies

Danica Patrick is being called out on social media following her post criticizing NASCAR driver Martin Truex Jr. after Sherry Pollex, his former girlfriend, died over the weekend at the age of 44, ending a lengthy battle with ovarian cancer dating back to 2014.

Truex, who started dating Pollex in 2005 before they broke up in January, posted Sunday on Instagram about Pollex’s death and offered his thoughts and prayers to her family.

“From the very minute of her diagnosis, Sherry was determined to not only fight ovarian cancer with everything she had but also make a difference in the lives of others battling this terrible disease,” Truex wrote.

“Sherry’s passion for making a difference in the lives of others was inspiring to everyone. Through her tireless charity work for so many years, her legacy will live well beyond our lifetimes and continue to help countless families who are battling ovarian and childhood cancer.

“I would like to extend my deepest condolences to her entire family, who have shown incredible strength and resilience throughout her battle.”

That didn’t sit well with Patrick, who wrote her own post in rebuttal to Truex.

“I avoid negativity on social at almost all costs. Almost…” Patrick wrote.

“But this the most insensitive disconnected statement from a guy that I have never liked. And obviously for good reason. I don’t care what happened between them but this is as cold as it gets.

“A PR rep wrote this guaranteed. You’re free from this now sherry.”
