That's some good stuff. I've copied and pasted it below for those who may not want to open link.
LAS VEGAS – Dale Earnhardt Jr. talked about his future wife. Brad Keselowski admitted he’s a lightweight when it comes to his sponsor’s product and Denny Hamlin joked he didn’t know all his girlfriends’ names.
The Chase For The Sprint Cup drivers might have thought what they said in Vegas stayed in Vegas, but the cameras were rolling as they participated in a contest modeled after the “Newlywed Game” with the show’s longtime host Bob Eubanks.
Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman won the contest, which featured drivers paired up and attempting to answer questions posed to their respective partners.
It produced some memorable quotes. So here we go:
Is Dale Earnhardt Jr. off the market?
Asked which driver’s wife or significant other would win a wet T-shirt contest, Earnhardt Jr. said: “I’m going to say my future wife.”
To which Kevin Harvick responded: “You don’t ever bring her out. I don’t even know what she looks like.”
There was no immediate word if Earnhardt Jr. actually is officially engaged.
That’s why I need a little black book
Keselowski was having trouble coming up with an answer for the wet T-shirt question, until Hamlin chimed in with, “Just pick one of my girlfriends.”
“I don’t know their names,” Keselowski said.
“I don’t either,” Hamlin said, then quickly added, “just kidding.”
Over my dead body
Asked which driver they would forbid their daughter to date, several drivers chose Hamlin, Brian Vickers and Stewart.
But Matt Kenseth drew the biggest laughs with his quick response.
“Danica,” the 2003 Cup champion quipped.
Like he would ever be out front
Kenseth also brought the house down when he was asked which driver he would bump to win a race. Teammate Edwards guessed that Kenseth would say Vickers.
Kenseth, however, guessed the answer was Edwards.
What about Vickers, with whom Kenseth had an ongoing feud during the latter part of the season?
“He probably wouldn’t be leading,” Kenseth quickly explained.
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Asked what is the one thing about their partner that women would be turned off by, Kenseth said that Edwards, “likes to look at himself more than he likes to look at her.”
Smile, you’re on Candid Camera
Keselowski said it would be funny to watch Kurt Busch’s footage from Busch’s in-car camera when he was aked, “If you want a really good laugh, just hide and watch my partner do what?”
Busch, Keselowski’s teammate at Penske Racing, tried to make fun of himself and his recent $50,000 fine for getting caught flipping the bird and later cursing at ESPN reporter Dr. Jerry Punch, an event that was caught on a fan’s cell phone.
“I’ve been pretty good at making myself look like an idiot,” Busch admitted. “… You know what? There’s cameras on everybody’s phone and there’s YouTube all over the place these days.”
That’s why I drink Miller Lite
Keselowski was on stage drinking a Miller Lite, but admitted that people don’t know this about him: “I can get drunk very easily.”
Did I just say that?
Stewart said his teammate’s most annoying habit was constantly “burping” during the team’s weekly meetings.
Newman’s answer, which also entailed bodily functions, was a bit more surprising.
“I can fart the alphabet,” he said.
Eubanks on the spot
It was clear that Eubanks didn’t know much about NASCAR as he went down the line of drivers with his note cards, looked at Earnhardt Jr. and said: “That must be Dale?”
But he did get a dig in on Edwards, whose most annoying thing about him, according to Kenseth, was being late.
“You’re even late crossing the finish line sometimes,” Eubanks said.
