You’re NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne. You’re walking through the grocery store, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you see a woman breastfeeding her baby right there next to the carrots and broccolis and whatnot. You take a second look, because you’re obviously seeing things. But you’re not!

Yesterday, First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, were the Grand Marshall’s at NASCAR’s Sprint Cup finale. Their reception was not a kind one.

Attention quickly turned away from the race itself to drivers’ well-being at an IndyCar event today in Las Vegas when a huge crash took out 15 cars and, reportedly, seriously injured driver Dan Wheldon.

We’ve been writing about conflict here this afternoon. While it was newsworthy and riveting in its own way, that can get taxing. It can make you just want to see an example of people getting along, cooperating to get things done…and the video after the jump delivers the goods.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be driving with a new Diet Mountain Dew-themed car next season on the NASCAR Sprint Cup, and he unveiled it live on SportsCenter Wednesday during an interview with ESPN‘s John Buccigross.

The car itself is rather meh, but we especially appreciated Buccigross getting in a reference to recently-broken-up rock band R.E.M. at the end of the interview.

On Friday, Tony Stewart had a nice little pow-wow with the media (it was called a “garage-area media availability” session, to be exact). At some point, he got mad at Associated Press reporter Jenna Fryer for asking a question about a Sprint Cup race that took place at Richmond International Raceway, which I guess would be okay if not for the fact the interview was taking place at… Richmond International Raceway.

Most of us have experienced road rage at some point or another, so it makes sense to us that drivers in NASCAR are occasionally prone to extreme cases of that feeling. Today, thanks to irate driver Boris Said, we got a prime example of that rage in action.

A technical failure in Bristol left ESPN’s NASCAR pre-race show a mess of interuptions, false starts, and off-air commentary that suddenly found itself on-air.

Starz Media is reportedly considering an original drama series tentatively titled Tits in the Pits — a one-hour show about a female NASCAR owner and her ensuing struggle to secure corporate sponsors to get back at her driver ex-husband.

Maybe NASCAR didn’t know what it was getting when it hired Pastor Joe Nelms of the Family Baptist Church to deliver the invocation before Saturday night’s Federated Auto Parts 300 Nationwide Series race in Nashville.

Then again, maybe it did.
