No, a race condition will not necessarily end in a deadlock. This will only occur if, in the process of dealing with a race condition, two processes are both waiting on one another to finish. Please review the definitions of Deadlock and Race Conditions. Specifically the section on critical and non-critical race conditions may be of particular interest.
