Blind Item #5
This NASCAR driver with a regular ride and raced every week wants to be the first driver to come out as gay. He is one of the few drivers who never seems to have a girlfriend. He is currently dating a man who works for NASCAR. He did not make The Chase.
Kasey Kahne
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not him.
DeleteFuck. I find that quite hot. I'd watch whoever this is go at it with his man-love.
ReplyDeleteWould it be considered homophobic to list potential endorsements the driver could get when the Budweisers of the world pull out? I generally only enjoy insulting individuals and not groups, so I seek some editorial guidance.
ReplyDeleteDale Earnhardt Jr
ReplyDeleteI think Stephen Rhodes is already out, though.
ReplyDeleteMost have beauty queen type wives or girlfriends, Kahne would be a decent guess.
ReplyDelete@ Count...have at it! Your insults are all in good fun!

ReplyDeleteConspicuously absent are: Tony Stewart and Michael Waltrip (always gave me a gay vibe)
Interesting...
I was all ready to say Ashley Force until Enty said he and boyfriend:(
ReplyDeleteDale Jr has ALWAYS pinged my gaydar.....
ReplyDeleteenty's blind items on coming out are always bullshit
ReplyDeleteIn any case any NASCAR driver coming out is a career killer because we all know rednecks just love and respect gays.
ReplyDeleteStewart has a broken leg, so he's been out for the last month or so.
ReplyDeleteComments about LGBT people are only problematic when they are based in hate or ignorance. A good rule of thumb is to acquire sufficient "pixie dust" by associating with gay people, which you can then sprinkle over your jokes to magically make them okay. Case in point: Margaret Cho, who has done enough work with the gay audience to be able to have a joke that consists entirely of the phrase "Karl Lagerfeld is such a fag."
ReplyDeleteWithout the pixie dust and a good understanding of the community, Cho's joke would come across poorly.
ReplyDeleteI like the k kane guess. d e jr too much of a manwhore
ReplyDelete@count please rip away.. give us your best shot.. you and vip are my faves..I need the pick-me-up today
gives new meaning to "this buds for you !" non??
ReplyDeleteI thought Waltrip is/was married?
ReplyDeleteAnd there is not enough "pixie dust" in the world to make ANY hateful or ignorant joke okay. Innocent or exempt by association isn't a real thing.
And to answer @Count - list away. This lesbian doesn't personally find that hateful or ignorant.
ReplyDeleteDale jr has been dating the same woman for 2 yrs. She's the ex of KY's basketball coach
ReplyDeletePleeeeeeeeeeeeeze NOT TONY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteKasey is in the Chase, as is Dale Jr. Tony's had girlfriends in the past - remember the "lost some dead weight" from a couple of years ago?
ReplyDeleteWondering if it's Brad Keselowski, though. Missed the Chase this year after winning it all last season, he never seems to have a ladyfriend with him during pre-race ceremonies. Every other regular Cup series driver (implied since no other series has a Chase for a driver to miss) is either married, engaged, or has a longtime girlfriend. But Brad always says he doesn't have time.
This.
DeleteNot Tony - please. He tends to keep his private life private. All that means is just what it says.

ReplyDeleteTony's not gay, I worked as a Nascar writer from 2005-2009 so I can attest. The guy's a notorious man-whore. Any hot chick, even if it's the just legal daughter of a close friend who's also a race car driver herself. (My own little BI there) ; ) And there's even a strong possibility old Smoke also had a little sex tape with Heather Clem, one of the ones she has threatened to release after Hogan. (Don't expect it to be release, Tony's smart enough and rich enough he probably bought it from her after the Hogan scandal.) That being said, Tony may be a player, but he's a good guy otherwise. A real no-BS person, who despite his faults has heart of gold.
ReplyDeleteOf coarse there's been rumors about Michael Waltrip for a decade at least. He was married, but during their marriage his wife had a long time affair with his former driver Dale Jarrett, and she was long rumored as simply being a beard. And as Waltrip barely races anymore, mostly being just an owner now, he did not make the chase.
(...My BI Revealed: Chrissy Wallace)
Kasey Kahne was my first thought, but he's in the chase. (he's also so pretty! those eyes!)
ReplyDeleteI think it's Keselowski. NASCAR isn't happy with him, and this would certainly be a "good" reason. They treated him like dirt after his championship.
Michael doesn't drive anymore does he? Isn't he just the team owner?
ReplyDeleteGood lord, if Tony were gay, my wife would douse herself with Mobil oil and self-immolate in a Bass Pro Shop parking lot.
ReplyDeleteBrad was the first driver to publicly support a hypothetical gay driver earlier this year when it came up. I didn't read a lot into it then, but the more I think about it, the less it would shock me if it were him.
Well, whoever it is, whether they choose to come out or not, I hope they've found someone who makes them truly happy.
Michael drives on certain occasions. Like the Daytona 500, which he has a special guaranteed qualifying to as a past 500 winner. But Waltrip does technically "have a regular ride" and "races every week", as a car owner, MWR cars race every week. Just as Hendrick or Childress race every week, even if not themselves.
ReplyDeleteYup, Michael Waltrip. He may be done racing/owning the team after last weekend. I wouldn't be surprised if his brother Darryl took over operations with the team. The bleeding has begun : http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nascar/2013/09/11/napa-michael-waltrip-racing-martin-truex-jr-chase-nascar/2798025/
ReplyDelete@Count "pull out..." hehe My adolescent sense of humour is giggling at that :)
ReplyDelete@northbynorthwest: no doubt Tony banged her. Bubba has his entire house wired in case of rape claims, so there was definitely a tape.
ReplyDelete____________________________
Alright. I don't have any "pixie dust" because I don't have any gay friends (that I know of anyway) but I don't get bugged out when a dude tries to flirt with me. Working at an antique shop and a pool place broke me of that. I find it funny and would definitely bend over extra or muscle some stuff around to try and get a good tip.
First you got that LOGO network. I don't know if they make much $$, but they should get behind (heh) a gay driver. If not them, then TLC.
Definitely a lube company. I would say GunOil.com, because I hear it is a fave in the community and then you would get all them rednecks Googling it to try and figure out why a company associated with firearms is supporting the gays.
Dude should definitely be the best dressed driver, so some desinger would throw dollars to do his jumpsuit and get their name on the car.
I would think he would have to drive a Toyota, because they really pander to the gays with the Prius (caring about the environment is like the gayest thing besides same sex sex) and showing support for a gay driver would only boost their sales. Rednecks aint buying Toyota trucks anyway.
Michelob Ultra would be the beer, only one gayer than Coors Light.
There would probably be an LGBT friendly resort who would splash their name on a car for a race.
Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone magazine. Who are some other high profile gays running companies who would throw dollars? Geffen? Pay Pal guy?
RainbowDepot.com, gay driver has to have a rainbow car, right?
The New York Mets
ExtremeRestraints.com, plenty of gear there for the LGBT community.
Stolichnaya Vodka, to try and show support so people drop the boycott.
I'm sure an AIDS charity like Life Beat would sponsor for a race.
The Dallas Cowboys.
Bumper Bully, no one knows the importance of rear end protection like gays.
That is all I got. I was thinking mostly realistic, so there aint much funny or crass in there.
@Count - in addition to prius maybe also Volkswagen bug (esp convertible).
DeleteCoors Light already sponsors the pole award, and that's about as gay as things can get.
ReplyDeleteClint Bowyer
ReplyDeleteInteresting if it's Michael Waltrip. He and his brother together are NASCAR royalty. Darrell calling Michael's first Daytona win is one of the most historic moments in NASCAR history.
ReplyDeleteI guarantee it isn't Tony Stewart or Dale Jr. Kahne is a big time mamas boy and keselowski seems to not give a fuck what anyone thinks. So my money's on one of those two. Or David Gilliland lol
ReplyDeletePeople! Kasey Kahne is IN the Chase. So is Dale Jr., though I've always had my suspicions about him. Doesn't matter, even if he were gay he would never ever come out. Keselowski is the best guess I've seen here- regular, consisent, well-known driver who didn't make the Chase. Waltrip doesn't drive regularly anymore and Stweart hasn't driven in months because of his injury.
ReplyDeleteI just googled 'Michale Waltrip gay' and found this... http://www.michaelwaltripracing.com/mobile/news/press-releases/473/gay-at-the-track-not-a-big-deal
ReplyDeleteI thought Kesowski was dating Danica Patrick. Mikey Waltrip has always pinged my gaydar.
ReplyDeleteTony Stewart gay - hilarious! My daughter works the race when it's in town and Tony went out of his way last time to walk over and and high-five her.
ReplyDeleteAric Almirola or Paul Menard?
ReplyDelete@NorthByNorthwest I have a friend who worked with someone who was in a lot of commercials with Carl Edwards. (Based on former things I've revealed about me the person whoi was in those commercials should be pretty easy to figure out. OK F it, my friend is a former WWE talent that worked with John Cena) who told me part of the reason Dale Jr. had Danica as his Nationwide driver was because he had her in many other places, too. Ever hear about that?
ReplyDeleteIf this blind is true, I think Jamie McMurray is the person we're looking at.
@CaliGirl, no Ricky Stenhouse is the one dating D(oes)A(nyone)N(otice)IC(ause)A(ccidents)
ReplyDeleteThe Great Kali
ReplyDeleteI don't follow Nascar so my guess is definitely Ricky Bobby.
ReplyDelete@northbynorthwest - my friend and I KNEW Tony was banging Chrissy just from a couple of photos. Some of these posts confirm everything longtime fans have suspected - Junior banging Danica, Buffy with DJ.
ReplyDeleteI like the Gilliland guess. He's always pinged my gaydar, even harder than Kasey.
Buh-leave me. Dale Jr. isn't gay.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure about Mikey.
The Ain'ts are (these are the men in the Chase):
Matt Kenseth
Kyle Busch (dammit!)
Jimmie Johnson
Carl Edwards
Greg Biffle
Kevin Harvick
Kurt Busch
Jeff Gordon
Ryan Newman
Clint Bowyer
Dale Jr.
Joey Logano
Kasey Kahne
