Tony Stewart Flip Photos/ Open Wheelers Come into Their Own at STL/ Open Wheelers 2-3 Cup Qualifying/ The Van O Babes are Back

Tony Stewart Flip Photos
The Busch race at Talladega looked very promising for our Open Wheelers JJ Yeley sat on the pole for Saturday’s race. The event was relatively clean until Tony Stewart went airborne.

In these photos

You can see Tony Stewart was not able to clear Kenny Wallace and

Spun in the tri-oval.

His No. 33 got airborne

And slid down past the start-finish on his roof.

Thankfully Tony Stewart emerged ok from the car.

JJ Yeley’s luck would change as he got together with another car,

Struck the outside wall and then came across the race track somehow avoiding all of the other cars. Martin Truex Jr. won the event driving a No. 8 car that resembled the late Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s No. 3 paint scheme. For a recap of post race activities, please head over to TV Victory Lane http://tvvictorylane.blogspot.com

The Van O Babes are Back

The Van O Babes from the All-State commercial have returned just in time to boost their numbers in the race babe poll.

The three hotties once again are on their quest to meet Kasey Kahne and get into trouble

Each one of the three gals dream about meeting Kahne and marrying him.

Of course during their daydream, they cause an accident.

These gals in the All-State commercial can’t park worth a darn but they do have a thing for Open Wheelers.

I wonder if they have a thing for guys that write about Open Wheelers?

If you would like to vote for the Van O Babes or any of the women vying for title of “Race Babe,” you can do so by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking on the web poll.
