Before the Sprint Cup action gets too fired up again in Charlotte, here's a quick look back at some of the best images of a dramatic weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

If all you want to do is know the simple answer to this question, I'll give it to you. In the from of a picture. At the right.

And no, I'm not talking about standing in victory lane.

I just don't get it, I guess. What is it about racing a car that seems to draw very, very good looking women into the arms of seemingly normal guys? It's not the firesuit (ever seen one of those on a runway?), there's no attractive aromas inside a race car, and if certain lady isn't a racing expert like Kevin Harvick's wife Delana, then sitting in the pits probably gets boring.

And better yet, how does Kyle Busch -- he's no candidate for Sexiest Man Alive -- manage to land a lady like the one that was on his arm in victory lane on Friday night at Chicagoland Speedway?

Now this isn't trying to rip on that lovely gal. Her name? Samantha Sarcinella. Thanks to TGOM (remember her?) and Answer This... we know she's been dating Kyle since Indy a year ago, graduated from Purdue University with a degree in psychology and hails from St. John, Ind. -- just 40 minutes from Chicagoland Speedway.

Before heading to Daytona, the NASCAR drivers are getting their Fourth of July celebrations on--and you should be, too.

Kevin and Delana Harvick will spend the day hanging out with family and friends, enjoying food and fireworks.

Elliott Sadler and his girlfriend headed out to the Sadler family vacation spot in Nags Head, N.C. and will spend time at the beach and on the golf course.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is holding court and sipping a Bud somewhere silently evaluating potential drivers to replace Shane Huffman.

Jimmie Johnson is polishing his ESPY Award acceptance speech.
