LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Kim Kardashian and Danica Patrick heat up Sunday television broadcasts this month. But when asked to choose between watching Kim Kardashian or Danica Patrick on television, Kardashian co-star Chapman Ducote found himself torn.

Recently, LALATE chatted Chapman Ducote who co-stars in Kourtney and Kim Take Miami this season. LALATE asked him how he spends his Sundays, watching Kim Kardashian on E!, or Danica Patrick from NASCAR, or both. Both Kardashian and Patrick have been ratings winners for their respective broadcasters this season. But who does Chapman prefer watching?

“There is a lot of crazy driving on Kourtney and Kim Take Miami” LALATE said to Chapman. “Last week, Kim Kardashian was making some impressive illegal uTurns in the Rolls. So I got to ask …. who’s the hotter female driver on TV every Sunday? Danica Patrick driving Nascar, or Kim Kardashian driving Miami?” Chapman replied “What a tough question! How could I possibly pick? They are both very attractive women, but behind the wheel – wow, that’s another level of hot.”

LALATE also asked Chapman if he could soon headline his own reality show. “One of my favorite channels is Velocity which features of lot of automotive programming. Would you ever do you own reality show?” Chapman replied “I would definitely consider it. I’ve really enjoyed my time filming, and there is so much drama behind-the-scenes in the world of professional motorsports that we’d certainly never run out of content!”

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Danica Patrick has hit by a rock at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. After being hit by the rock, Danica Patrick thought she had a concussion. But crews later told her that she was fine.

Patrick was watching the World of Outlaws show at the time. She told news that rock hit her so hard that she was certain she had a concussion. “I feel like I have a concussion from last night.” She later added “I got hit by a rock at The Dirt Track and I took it to the ground. So I feel like it’s really sore . . . It hit me straight in the head. Good thing I had a hat on or there would have been blood.”

Patrick crashed Sunday in Phoenix. “The safety crew does a great job,” Patrick told news after the race. “The cars are safer than they’ve ever been. I said after last weekend, I’m glad I didn’t race in the era of a lack of SAFER barriers because I don’t know what it’s like without them.”

She added “I know the hits feel hard and my neck was sore after last weekend for sure, which it has never been sore before after a wreck, so either my training program is off or it was just that big of a hit or maybe because it was both sides.”

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are dating. Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. confirmed to news that they are dating after weeks of speculation about their relationship. This is Patrick’s first relationship since her divorce from Paul Hospenthal.

In January, Patrick confirmed to news that she and Paul Hospenthal were divorcing. At the time they confirmed their relationship was “irretrievably broken.” Now Patrick, 30, is finding happiness on the track.

Danica tells news this week that she didn’t want her relationship to overshadow equipment manufactures and sponsors seeking to publicize their products this week. Patrick tells news that she waited until Friday out of courtesy to those vendors.

Stenhouse had little to say about the relationship. But he too confirmed that he was cautious when and how to come public with the relationship. “Yes we are dating,” he told FOX News “I don’t normally say too much about my private life, always been focused on the track. I didn’t want to confirm at media day so that we could keep the focus on the season, the Gen-6 (car), my sponsors and team. That’s what it’s all about for me.”

When Patrick first made the move to NASCAR, she admitted it would be tough. “I knew last year going into it, doing both Indy Car and NASCAR, NASCAR for the first time, I knew it was probably going to be my toughest year ever, and it was” Patrick explained. Insiders claim that Stenhouse has been a sort of mentor for Patrick in her switch to NASACR.

One rocker, meantime, made news in February expressing his interest in Patrick. When asked by news which driver has sparked his interest, Lenny Kravitz said at the time. “Danica. What? I have to. I have to. I’ve been watching her on TV. I have to.”

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – A Danica Patrick divorce is being confirmed today by the driver and husband Paul Hospenthal. Danica Patrick’s divorce came to an end just days after her crash with Landon Cassill surprised Kansas racing fans last month.

Patrick has appeared in TV, commercials and other media besides racing over the years. In 2011, she joined Cake Boss for a special episode.

NASCAR’s Sprint Cup viewership numbers fell from 2006 to 2011. While Patrick has yet to explain why the couple split, in August 2011 LALATE reported that Patrick was almost always on the road. She said “Last year in February, I had literally two Mondays at home.”

“I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage,” Patrick told news today. She added “This isn’t easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that’s how we will remain moving forward.”

After her crash in October, she told news “So, the bummer is that this is my Texas car. We were having a good run, we were making the car better. And, I’m out of the race and he’s not.”

CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Danica Patrick’s crash video with Landon Cassill reveals her frustration from Kansas last weekend. Danica Patrick was frustrated with the pushing she was allegedly receiving from Landon. But far after the crash, Patrick was still frustrated; she ended up damaging her “Texas” car during the crash.

Danica tells news that she couldn’t hold a decent position in the race because of Landon’s pushing. “He got into me on the front straight and said, ‘I was just in the way,’” She added “That’s really no good reason to hit me. If it’s one time, I can imagine it’s frustration, but it’s been quite a few times with him.”

“I have just been really frustrated with the No. 83 (Landon Cassill)”, Danica further told news. “But it’s been pretty consistent with him getting in to me. So at some point in time, I have to stand up for myself, or everybody’s going to do it.”

She added “So, the bummer is that this is my Texas car. We were having a good run, we were making the car better. And, I’m out of the race and he’s not.”

Cassill claims Danica was crowding him. “She was crowding me . . . It’s not how you race for 30th on Lap 150 or whatever lap it was. I got her loose and then door-checked her down the front stretch.”

Crew chief Greg Zipadelli was not happy with the damage to the Texas car. “B– right there now.” He told Danica “You know better than to do that —.”
