Two big NASCAR fans enjoyed a little cozy-time after yesterday's race in Las Vegas. Hey, wait! That's Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo! We almost didn't recognize them.
The couple brought their least-glammed-up selves to the Nextel Cup Series UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Speedway, which also welcomed "Shooter" star Mark Wahlberg. Jeans with holes? Check. Untucked plaid shirt? Check. Super-shiny, blinged-out wrist candy? Check.
Whatever their sartorial choices, they were clearly a good luck charm. We're told they were guests of driver Jimmie Johnson, who won the race, and who invited the pair to party with him in victory lane.

I hope the best for Nick because after what Jessica Simpson put him through with the divorce, he deserves it. Now this is a couple in love, we never see pictures like this of Jessica and John Mayer.

Yeah #3 Jessica has a man with more money, but John will never be into Jessica like Nick was into Jessica. John Mayer has never acknowledged that they are a couple. Money does not buy happiness, but Jessica loves money, so she'll do what ever it takes to keep John. This is why Jessica was in a hurry to divorce Nick before her movie money came in, and she thought she could do better. I'm a big fan of John Mayer, but I would marry Nick over John because Nick is marriage material and John in not.

Jess has a better looking man???? WHAT? Have you seen the mop on his head? Uggh! I guess they are perfect together in bobblehead heaven!
Nick was dumped by Jessica, now she's just pissed because he found someone else quickly and is happy. Nick and Venessa wouldn't be together if Jessica and her dad didn't dump him. Yes, I said it, we all know it. JOE DID IT! Jessica needs to accept her choices and move on. Nick has shown class through the entire break up, never said a bad thing. How many years do we have to hear from Jessica that "It hurt how fast Nick moved on" The world dosn't stop for you sweetie!

The two Jessica Simpson fans who posted are in denial. But I suppose one has to be superficial to like Jessica. Jessica=Ditz + Selfish + Shopaholic. Nick improved his love life with Vanessa. Jessica still buys Nick things like clothes because deep down inside, she knows she made a big mistake. Long live Nick and Vanessa. Vanessa did not have to dye her hair blonde and act like a ditz to get famous.

Vanessa and Nick look cute in their casual clothes. I bet Vanessa is wearing comfortable shoes for this event. Unlike Jessica who wore 5" heels to go site seeing in Rome, what a vain ditz. John would not even take Jessica to the Grammys. Nick would never do such a thing to Vanessa. I bet Jessica is always secretly dreaming, I wish John was into me as much as Nick was. I am very happy for Nick and Vanessa. Nick can now have an intellegent conversation.

Will you guys quit making fun of Jessica because Jessica calls me up in tears and gets all ditzy and it's not fun. By the way, Vanessa is experienced where it counts and I love it.
