Kelly Clarkson and NASCAR: Going Together Like Suits of Armor and Electrical Storms!

Kelly Clarkson (yeah, I love her. What of it?) is proud to have just inked the largest partnership contract ever between NASCAR and a musical artist. She will be "integrated into all aspects of NASCAR," according to a NASCAR statement.

Who's gonna drive the Kelly Clarkson Ford? Will it beDale Jarrett? Mark Martin? That's what I gotta know. (Alright, they won't emblazon a car with her face, but it's an amusing thought.)

Will Dale, Jr. be asking KC for her autograph on the infield before a race? Will anyone be catching my "Talladega Nights" references?

Oh, and 29 days until the Daytona 500.

Kelly Clarkson To Play Bamboozle '07?

If process of elimination works out correctly, Kelly Clarson will be playing Bamboozle in '07 along with My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park. Personally, I think KC is way cooler than either of those bands, but I suppose that will only make her look even better when she rocks the mic. Source: VH1.
