CAT FIGHT CAT FIGHT! Danica Patrick is involved in another confrontation, only this time it's with IRL's other female driver.

LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) – If Saturday is any indication, the Honda Indy 200 may be just more of the same struggles that Danica Patrick has faced so many times in the past three months.

Patrick, who started a career-best second here a year ago, was 11th in the morning practice at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

After getting out of her car, Patrick quickly walked to where Milka Duno, the only other woman racing here this weekend, was pitted and confronted the less experienced driver about getting in her way several times during the practice.

The confrontation lasted only about a minute, but witnesses said it grew heated and that Duno flung a towel in Patrick’s direction at one point as the two exchanged words. Patrick eventually walked away.

Patrick, who has previously confronted fellow drivers Dan Wheldon and Ryan Briscoe after racing incidents, brushed off the latest dustup, saying, “I just wanted to know if she saw me out there.”

Duno was not immediately available for comment.

Things didn’t get better for Patrick after the confrontation.

She failed to get past the first of three rounds in the knockout-style time trials and will start 20th on the 26-car grid in Sunday’s race. Duno qualified last.

“The car was pretty fast during practice this morning, but I was unable to find the speed that I needed during qualifying,” Patrick said. “I’m disappointed that I didn’t qualify better, knowing that I started on the front row last year.

“But there are some areas of the course where I will be able to make some passes. It’s a long race, so, hopefully, I can work my way up the field.”

Eddie Griffin Sued for Smackdown

To quote his big-screen alter ego in Undercover Brother, this is one of them funky times.

A former production manager is suing Eddie Griffin, accusing the funnyman of a drunken assault while working on a TV pilot in March.

The lawsuit was filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Griffin and the Leslie Greif Company by Vince Beane, who worked on a VH1 reality series tentatively titled The Eddie Griffin Project. (View the court docs.)

The plaintiff claims that on March 10 the comic actor wrongfully accused Beane of slighting Griffin's mother by "treating her, like a slave nigga" or a "ghetto Momma on junior prom night just waiting to get slammed" because, per producers orders, he booked her and Griffin into a "cheap three-star hotel."

Beane's complaint accuses the production company of plying the erstwhile Malcolm & Eddie star and others with more than six bottles of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, which purportedly caused Griffin to go off on Beane, grabbing him by the collar and smacking him around for failing to find better accommodations.

"That was for my Momma…she ain't no nappy-headed ho," Griffin is quoted as saying in the court documents.

For his part, Griffin's rep called Beane's allegations "completely absurd" and "without merit."

Beane also blasts his employers for failing to provide adequate security to ensure his safety.

"The Leslie Greif Company negligently failed to advise Vince Bean of the violent propensity of the inebriated Eddie Griffin and his short and uneasy temper of which they were well aware and encouraged in hopes it would enhance his outrageous behavior," the suit states.

"This failure to warn created an unsafe environment and perilous situation for the unsuspecting plaintiff."

The suit contends that Beane suffered "severe bodily injury and emotional distress" along with "loss of enjoyment of life."

The production manager says he didn't fight back, fearing retaliation from Griffin's five-man posse, which includes a former heavyweight boxer.

Beane is seeking unspecified general and special damages to pay for medical expenses, as well as wage loss and loss of future earning capacity.
