FanHouse ChandraJohnson

Most NASCAR fans I know watch the Speed Channel on Fridays to catch "NASCAR Live," "Trackside," qualifying and/or whatever other events.

For those of you who like to switch gears now and again, I recommend tuning into "The Tyra Banks Show" today to catch guests Jimmie Johnson and his wife, Chandra, who taped the show during the recent New York media blitz.

Jimmie will give the urban talk show viewers the lowdown on what really happens in the pit box, how he controls his bladder during races and what he thinks makes women go crazy over racecar drivers.

Chandra also joins Jimmie on the program to help Tyra give Jimmie a head-to-toe makeover in true NASCAR speed style. Can't wait to see if they tackle the eyebrows.

When asked who he might like to take for a ride if not for his lovely bride ... Jimmie reveals his interest in Jessica--as in Biel or Alba, not Simpson, the ex of his good buddy, Nick Lachey.

Today on Tyra. Check local listings for times. More pics.

Sports Illustrated polled NASCAR drivers and the results showed that 29% of them think Clint Bowyer's girlfriend is hotter than their own significant other.

Not surprising. Athena Barber, part-time model and former Bassani Babe, is as full of southern charm as she is natural beauty. She never fails to turn heads at the track with her casually sexy style. No doubt even some of the female NASCAR following would admit to having a girl crush on her. More pics and video.

Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Robby Gordon also received votes for their women, making it an eclectic group: Eva Busch, the buxom blonde; Krissie Newman, the girl next door; and former Miss Winston Renee White, the ex-Mrs. Derrike Cope.

I am surprised that Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth didn't get any mentions. Chandra Johnson is at times positively stunning ... and drivers openly admit to drooling over Katie Kenseth.

Ironically, Jeff Gordon's "supermodel" wife, Ingrid Vandebosch, doesn't do much for the rest of the field.

Drivers to Junior: Hands off our Daughters
65% of NASCAR drivers polled said they wouldn't let their daughter date Dale Earnhardt Jr.

TGOM to Drivers, Owners, Crew Chiefs, et. al.: Be on guard. NASCAR's most eligible bachelor is in the market to replace his latest female companion, who recently passed her expiration date.

He normally eats a hot dog microwaved with "cheese, pineapple, sauces and a little bit of crumpled (potato) chips on top," but Juan Pablo Montoya wouldn't eat a famous Martinsville hot dog because, "It just doesn't look good."

Not because it's against his religion or anything--just because it didn't look good. C'mon, now. I know he's used to restaurants in Monaco and Barcelona, but can't he humor us and try just a little bit to embrace NASCAR, like it is embracing him?

Everybody eats Martinsville dogs. And when I say everybody, I mean even Jimmie Johnson's wife, Chandra, eats them. (Yeah ... I know what you're thinking. Trust me--she really eats.)

Easter eggs don't look good to Montoya, either, and the Easter Bunny won't be visiting his children this weekend. Where Montoya comes from, Easter is about the religion--ya know?
