Carl Edwards' Girlfriend

Wedding bells are ringing for this...

Carl-edwards-kate-downey Congratulations to NASCAR driver Carl Edwards and Dr. Katherine Downey who will tie the knot today!

Belated congratulations to NASCAR Crew Chief Bootie Barker and new bride Donna Peele who were married over Thanksgiving weekend.

... and to former driver Steve Park and Jessica Skarpelezos who were married Dec. 6.

Wedding bells not ringing for this...

Q. Is Casey Mears gearing up to make an honest woman out of baby mama Trisha Grablander?
A. Not yet ... The recent addition of his bio on the Childress Howard Motorsports website had fans chattering. When originally posted, his status was listed as "engaged." It was swiftly revised to "single."

Q. Did Chad Knaus's recent break up with Bruna Oliveira lead her to a rebound walk down the aisle with NASCAR mechanic Aaron "Beave" Kuehn?
A. No. A Facebook picture is worth a thousand words ... of gossip and speculation. Joke's on us.

Are you on the list to receive updates?

In sickness and in health, the doc engages this...

Carl Edwards and Kate Downey engagedDoctor Kate said YES!

Carl Edwards has just what the doctor ordered.

Congrats to the NASCAR driver and his girlfriend, Dr. Katherine Downey, who have just become engaged to be married!

TGOM takes a summer break from this...

Readers: Where in the world is TGOM?
TGOM: Enjoying a Southern California summer offline.

Readers: We're not coping!
TGOM: I know! I'm familiar with my inbox. Indeed I appreciate being missed.

Readers: Give us something! Anything!
TGOM: Here you go.

Readers are eager to spout off about this... and other randomness.

Jenny @ LMSKasey Kahne, his non-gayness and his seemingly never-present girlfriend - Kasey Kahne status: Not gay, has girlfriend. Despite what British sports mags rags claim, Kasey is, by all accounts in this hemisphere, nothing more than a common heterosexual male. Many fans, however, are in a continued state of denial regarding Jenny Severance's prominence in Kasey's life, despite his own acknowledgment of having a girlfriend, confirmation from TGOM sources and her presence at fan events and races. Snapped @ Lowe's Motor Speedway (at right, photo: nn52) as well as @ NHMS with her son in tow--just to name two.

Kyle Busch and Samantha Sarcinella - NASCAR's most popular couple of 2008. If I didn't feel the same way, I'd find the fans' gushing over how cute these two are utterly nauseating.

Robby Gordon, his unproud papa status and recent social-networking nightmare - Baby mama dramarama! Former members of Robby's Uprising say that candid discussion of the the #7 team's struggles this season became an issue on the driver's fan site as many team members, sponsor employers and marketing reps were site participants and were privy to the criticisms. They also confirm that the fans' desire to discuss Robby's personal life could not be curtailed and was a constant challenge for site admins. With regard to the site's "indefinite hiatus," however, insiders cite a different reason altogether: Robby's running off to new girlfriend so shortly after Max's birth was more than the new baby mama could handle and she found an outlet -- and audience -- on the Uprising, which led to its ultimate demise.

#1 most-anticipated but unasked question on Tuesday's teleconference: "Robby, how has fatherhood changed your outlook on life?"

FATHERHOOD FLASHBACK: The "Other" Gordon  - "I think that the whole thing is overwhelming from the moment that you see your first sonogram, I think that it's just an experience that you can't describe until you go through it, and then all of a sudden when the baby is born, you know, that emotion and that feeling that you get, responsibility and being proud and excited, you know, just there are not words that really describe it. And then you sort of get initiated into a club. It's an elite club and only people who are parents can understand it and are a part of it, and it's very special. It's a lot of hard work." ~ Jeff Gordon

Former devoted Robby fan: "I don't think I can love him like I used to anymore! ... I cannot believe all of this! WHY hasn't he said anything about the baby still?! It's so weird! People know--just say something!"

Kelley Earnhardt Elledge's love life - It's official. Multiple sources confirm that Kelley Earnahrdt and former JR Motorsports driver Mark McFarland are "dating." And apparently victory lane isn't the only place they can't keep their hands off of each other-- last Friday night, they were spotted with their tongues down each others' throats in a dark corner of On the Roxx. Sources are also quick to remind that Kelley and husband Jimmy Elledge have always had what others might refer to as a "strange" or "open marriage." I have found no evidence -- as of yet -- that there has been any discussion of divorce, however, Kelley seems to have dropped the use of Elledge in press releases and such.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s love life - Fans wonder, given his immediate family's history, is it any wonder he's hesitant to settle down working towards the ultimate goal of marriage? The endless questions "who is Dale Earnhardt Jr. dating?," "Who is Dale Jr.'s current girlfriend?," etc., etc. bore us to tears. Collectively, various sources report that he currently has anywhere between one and three female companions (which has pretty much been the status quo since the inception of Answer this...). What any of the alleged three mean to him is anybody's guess. Yes, one of them is fan favorite (!) Elizabeth Peschock. Some are even refering to her as a *girlfriend* again, but TGOM isn't that generous with labels until applied by the actual parties involved.

AthenaOf course to some, the obvious solution to Dale Jr.'s problem - if indeed his inability to find the perfect mate is to be considered a problem - is: Athena Barber. She's a purty, good country girl, just like Grandma Martha Earnhardt hopes for.

Speaking of ... 2007's Hottest NASCAR WAG - Gentlemen, you'll want to point your browsers to FHMOnline. The stunning -- and available -- Athena will be gracing their pages in the near future.

Is Carl Edwards too Oedipally close to this...?

Carl Edwards and MomThe relationship between Carl Edwards and his mother, Nancy Sterling, is a frequent topic of conversation among NASCAR fans if for no other reason than the fact that she is always around. And we mean always.

But Carl's recent declaration that he's not even thinking about marriage to girlfriend Kate Downey has raised polite conversation to a debate. Is Carl too close to his mom? Is there enough space in their relationship for Carl to have a girlfriend? Would you want Nancy Sterling for a mother-in-law?

Here's a FAQ posed by Answer this... reader Graceface:

"Does anyone else think that Carl's relationship with his mother has touched on the "creepy" side? 

"I'm not trying to take away from or downplay the fact that his mother is important and his supporter (of course there is love between them and she sacrificed for him), but it always seems a tick awkward when you see this big head of long blonde hair (attached to this middle-aged woman) moving into the car window to give him the first smooch; and then seen lurking in the background of most of his post-race interviews. Finally, on Mom's Day he made the comment about having the 'best looking mom.' 

"None of these incidents, when looked at separately, are really all that weird; but put them all together and it's borderline creep-o. I mean c'mon... with those abs, dimples and million dollar smile ... it's just odd that the main woman he's seen with and speaks of is "mama" most of the time. We just don't see this from other drivers and their moms. She kinda seems like Trey McDougall's mother from Sex and the City. Would Carl's girlfriend roll over one morning and find her in bed in between them? Is she scaring the girls away? Staking her claim? Just wondering what anyone else thinks out there."
