Who is?

This week is a bit of a twist with our Who is ? segment!

A month ago, most Nascar fans could not tell you who either of our two participants are, but they are all over the news now!

First up, allow me to introduce Kortnie Coles.
She is from Houston, Texas and is a former girlfriend of Dale Earnhardt Jr. My understanding is she attended a Texas race in 2004 and met Dale Jr at an autograph session and they hit it off. Now this little tryst did not last long, but did give her a few moments in the spotlight. Now she is popping up again... She is on the new season of America's Next Top Model TV show.
Will the Nascar fans tune in to see what she is up to now or hope she gets kicked off real quick? At 24 years old, she will be the second oldest contestant and she is now stated in the plus-size category.
So sounds like she may have her work cut out for her for sure!

Next up is Jimmy Watts.
Now Jimmy is probably the only Nascar pit crew member that 90% of fans could name if asked.
He is the guy that ran out to the edge of the track at Atlanta to retrieve a tire that got loose from Marcose Ambrose's car during a green flag pit stop.
Now the blame fell square upon his shoulders at that time, as the caution flag was waved and put a lot of cars that had already pitted a lap down.
This ruined the entire race in my opinion. Jimmy was chastized by his crew chief, sent to the big red trailer, suspended for the rest of the race, and now, Nascar has suspended him for 4 races and placed him on probation for the rest of the season. Fair?
Not really, as the caution would have came out anyway just for the tire being there, but we have got to punish someone don't we?

Now for a treat, see what happened to the last loose tire from
an Ambrose race car!

Ok, Congrats to Mr. Kurt Busch for his Atlanta win! Hated to see Bobby Labonte and Mark Martin not have the day I hoped they would! Jeff Gordon got close to breaking his no-win streak and Harvick was coming as well.

This week, Nascar takes a rare off week, so everyone enjoy the weekend,
get out and do something with your family and let them know you love them!

See ya at Bristol!
