In days of yore, NASCAR races were named after third-rate grocery stores (Save Mart Supermarkets 300), failed Web sites (GoRacing.com 500), or auto-erotic automotive suppliers (Dura-Lube 500). Now, just like any hack can get a NASCAR column, any whiskey-slurping NASCAR fan can name his own race. Thanks to Crown Royal, next spring's Richmond race can feature your name. You can enter for a chance to win here. To make things even better, My Name Is Earl hottie Jaime Pressly is helping Crown Royal announce the contest by chatting with fat, lonely NASCAR writers—and me. I wiped the drool of my chin to find out what Jaime looks for in a man (not me), a driver (not Jimmy Spencer), and a facial (no, not that kind, sicko).

Connolly vs. Pressly

My 18-out-of-45 top-five predictions record isn't so hot. But Jaime Pressly is. So I put my not-so-hot picking skills against her oh-so-hot looks. Let's see who's better at guessing the top five (and 17th!) finishers in this week's Crown Royal 400 at Richmond. (Actual finish listed after the name.)

1. Ky. Busch (5th) 2. T. Stewart (6th) 3. K. Kahne (34th) 4. D. Hamlin (2nd) 5. k. Harvick (3rd) 17. J. Burton 15th 1. McMurray (19th) 2. K. Kahne (34th) 3. K. Harvick (3rd) 4. J. Gordon (40th) 5. J. Johnson (12th) 17. Ku. Busch 29th

As you can see, I totally kicked Jaime's ass.

So besides the getting a race named after him, does the winner get a date with you?
Oh Lord, honey, no! 'Cause you know what kind of people are gonna be entering this contest? No, no, no.

So you wouldn't want to date a NASCAR fan?
I'm just gonna be politically correct here and say no.

OK, so I guess I can cross "Will you go out with me?" off my list of questions. What about Joy? I bet Joy, your character on Earl, would love to date a NASCAR driver.
You know she would. Joy would just drill them. I think she'd leave Crabman in a heartbeat if she thought she could get one of the drivers. They're just her type—famous and rich.

Who would be Joy's dream driver date?
Probably Jamie McMurray.

Jamie might be the only driver with prettier hair than Joy.
Oh, no! Joy has way better hair than Jamie's.

Are you going to make Jamie change the way he spells his name so he spells it like you?
No, that would be too girly.

Some people say his hair is too girly. Looking at your picks for the race, it seems you like the pretty boys.
I'm fine with that. I picked the pretty boys and I picked the right ones. Watch my list be right.

Your show is all about karma and its effect on Earl's life. When do you think karma is going to catch up with the Busch brothers?
Karma eventually gets to everybody. Karma is a bitch, and they'd better be careful, 'cause it will haunt you.

With your new hit TV show, karma must be treating you pretty well right now.
I am very blessed right now, but sometimes karma still comes after me. Two days ago, I had, like, crazy road rage. I was trying to get to a 7:30 facial appointment. On the way there, I flipped some people off. I cussed a couple of girls and old ladies. I finally get in there, I'm laying on the table, eyes shut, and this huge metal magnifying glass with a light on it falls off the hinge and busts my mouth open.br>
Yeah, I hate it when that happens. Stupid karma is always screwing with my beauty regimen.
