Of the random and funny

Someone has a mancrush on Casey Mears.

At 28, he exhibits purpose and poise with an underlying humility that is refreshing in a garage full of superstars. With striking good looks and articulate delivery, Mears is a sponsor's dream. He fits the National Guard's template perfectly, from his military haircut to his stand-at-attention posture.

Not to mention the author porning Johnson and Mears, plus the picture of Casey with his hand on his crotch. *headdesk*

How Biffle popped the question.

Biffle and longtime girlfriend Nicole Lunders got engaged over the holidays in their home state of Washington – eight years after the two met during Biffle’s first season as a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competitor.

He admitted he’d felt the commitment pressure in recent years.

“Plus,” he said, “I’m getting to the age and point where I’m thinking about starting a family.”

And so on Christmas Eve, among family members, Biffle popped the question. A little extra wrapping and tissue paper served as camouflage.

“I just wrapped it up as a Christmas present – in a Victoria’s Secret box,” Biffle said of Lunders’ engagement ring. “So she unwrapped it all not really paying attention, and when she got it all apart, it hit her what it was.”

Hint: Lunders said yes.

And Biffle ensured the engagement ring didn’t speak for him.

“I asked, too,” he added.

The most endearing part is the "I asked, too."
