Trailblazing ex-NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick stirred curiosity from her fanbase at the 2024 Burning Man festival by debuting a secretive new boyfriend in a series of Instagram posts. Patrick's reveal at the counter-culture event left her fans to piece together clues about her new relationship. Patrick posted 20 photos across two posts on Instagram to capture nearly every activity and outfit worn during the one-week-long festival.

The same caption accompanied each post: "I have never seen a better fireworks show than the night they burned the man. What a wild week of beautiful skies, cool art, hot days, cold nights, DJs from 5 pm to 8 am, weird sleeping hours, and amazing people waiting for you no matter what hours you are awake!" In the first carousel of images, Patrick was festival-ready. She wore a neon pink two-piece outfit with futuristic rainbow-tinted sunglasses and a floral crown.

She also wore white combat boots against a desert backdrop while posing in front of a towering silver sculpture well-known at Burning Man. But Patrick's second post featured the images that sparked the most intrigue. In three photos, Patrick shared intimate pictures with an unknown man, exchanging kisses in the dusty desert.

She swapped her colorful swimsuit look for a black festival outfit while her mystery partner wore matching boots. The romantic snapshots left fans speculating about the man's identity, as Patrick chose not to tag or identify him in any of the photos. Her fans .
