Racing's Danica Patrick and her husband are divorcing, reports USA Today. "I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage," she wrote on Facebook of husband Paul Hospenthal, who is 17 years her senior. The 30-year-old Patrick recently won the "most popular driver" award in NASCAR's Nationwide Series, notes AP. She moves up to NASCAR's top division (Sprint Cup) full time next year. Bleacher Report has more on the Go Daddy pitch person. (More Danica Patrick stories.)
