60 Most Beautiful People in NASCAR

Number 9: Patrick Carpentier



He's French Canadian. He has an adorably dorky laugh. He is bright ass white and didn't let that deter him from running around a track "naked" after winning his first race. (By "naked" we mean stripped down to his boxer shorts and wrapped in a black and white plastic trash can wrap. But hey, there were legs and chest.)

He's also wonderfully self deprecating and he didn't take crap from the crew chief that seemed to think Patrick was the one responsible for them not making Dega in the fall. (Because putting your foot to the floor and going fast is SO why they were completely off the pace.) He did what people had been dying to see - someone told Evernham to go stick it.

I miss him muchly.

American Idol

Two things:

They effectively made me hate my first contestant of the year last night. She had one strike against her already in being 16. But she was cute as can be, commercial with a capital C (according to Simon and I tend to agree) and they just gushed over how amazing she was. And she has a great voice. But she was so very nasal and they never called her on it! And you could just tell that she's going to get to the top 36 because she's just everything they want to do well. And yes, already I hate her.

Thing two is pretty much a statement of fact: do not begrudge an Osmond their place on American Idol. Because in the entertainment industry, it's actually a detriment to your career ambitions to be an Osmond. Just saying. *g*

Also, was there just a guy on my TV dressed as a giant pink bunny that looked like Rutledge Wood but wasn't?

ETA: Thank you Salt Lake City for finally bringing me contestants this season that feel like honest, genuine competitors that could be recording stars.
