EMBROILED in divorce, gorgeous DANICA PATRICK already has her foot on the romance accelerator!
The queen of the racetrack is dumping her husband while becoming close to a hot young hunk on the NASCAR circuit, say sources.
Danica, 30 – who recently announced on Facebook her plans to divorce physical therapist Paul Hospenthal– has long had a flirty relationship with 25-year-old rookie driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
“While there’s no proof of a physical relationship, bloggers on racing sites are buzzing about the sparks flying between Danica and Ricky,” a racing source told The ENQUIRER.
“More than a few people are pointing out she’s ending a seven-year marriage just as she’s gotten closer and closer to Ricky.
“She’s also much closer in age to him than her husband, who is 17 years older than Danica.”
