Danica Patrick struggled with her car all weekend at Phoenix. After qualifying 40th, Patrick made little headway in her second Sprint Cup start of the season.
Just past halfway Patrick cut a tire midway though turn three sending her No. 10 Chevrolet SS into the wall collecting the No. 34 Ford Fusion of David Ragan as she came down the race track.
Patrick was running 32nd at the time of the accident which ended her day. Ragan attempted to keep his car on the track. Patrick was checked and released from the infield care center.
