Hooters Girls Submit Calendar Photos, Miss America Revved Up For Daytona 500 & Jaromir Jagr's 29-Year-Old GF
Hello from … Daytona International Speedway. Again! That's two classes in a row from the bowels of the greatest place on earth.
Who has it better than us? Nobody, that's who. Can't think of a better way to spend a Monday than by pumping out a quick lesson and then taking the green flag for the 66th Daytona 500.
God, I love this country. Vroom, vroom.
And on that note, welcome to a Monday Nightcaps – the one where I try to crank out a lesson plan before they start wrecking in Turn 1. Let's see how I do. Try to keep up.
We're gonna start the day with some Hooters girls, because A) it's the Daytona 500 and you can't talk about that without mentioning Hooters, and B) because it's apparently #calendarsubmissionszn and we need to start keeping a running file.
After that, we're gonna bundle up and cast a line with Nightcaps OG Annie Agar, add to our aviation list (shocker!), whack a NYC cellist over the head with an aluminum bottle and then lead the Daytona 500 field to green with Miss America Madison Marsh.
What a class!
Let's roll.
Hooters girls are ready for Daytona 500 AND the new calendar
We're not messing around today – the longer we're here, the more buzz I lose.
Just kidding! Drinking, of course, always allowed during class!
Anyway, for those who missed it, I spoke to the Hooters girls over the weekend for an OutKick exclusive behind-the-scenes ahead of the Daytona 500.
Tough gig, I know.
For those who don't know, the Hooters-NASCAR relationship started way back in 1991 when the owl found itself on Alan Kulwicki's car for the final race of that season.
That worked out so well (shocking!) that Hooters came on full-time the next season.
Anyway, fast-forward a few decades, and Hooters is now with NASCAR's Most Popular Driver, Chase Elliott. Again, shocking!
All that to say, the girls are ready for some Daytona 500 racing today, but they also have their eyes on next year's calendar. True story.
It's the time of year to submit your best stuff to the powers that be to try and get yourself a spot in the famed calendar, and we've got our first batch of submissions rolling in.
Naturally, I'll leave it up to you all to see who should move on to the next round.
Annie Agar skips class to ice fish
Tough call, right?
PS: what a job that is – to be the judge who combs over Hooters calendar submissions. Talk about being a workaholic!
Moving on …
Well, before we completely move on, let's bet.
The Daytona 500 is always tricky. Duh. Not spoiling anything there.
The one good thing about it, though, is you can put down a couple sprinkles on a few "longshots" that could very well hit. Michael McDowell won this race a few years back. Ever heard of him?
Of course not.
Austin Cindric won two years ago.
Crickets.
Hell, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won it last year and I KNOW the casual NASCAR fan only knows him because he used to date Danica Patrick.
Point is, don't be afraid to throw down a couple $10 bets today and let it rip. And if you really wanna put it on a couple "favorites," you can get Joey Logano right now at +1000 on the Hard Rock app.
Joey Logano! He's a menace around here. Same with Denny Hamlin (+900). I know ya'll hate him, but Bubba Wallace at +1750 is juicy, too. Pretty sure it's in the NASCAR script to have him towards the front with five to go.
OK, here's Annie before we warm back up with a rapid-fire finish to class:
Aviation update, cellist assault & how about this Jagr line?
Welcome back to class, Annie! You're always welcome here – rain, shine or snow.
Now, let's hop in one of those totally safe planes and head on back to Florida for the green flag!
Rapid-fire time. First up? Time to add to it:
The Endeavor Air jet took off from Toronto, Canada, around 6:47 a.m. Feb. 3 with 74 people on board and was headed to JFK Airport in Queens when the terrifying incident occurred.
You know the drill …
In the last month we've had:
- Alaska Boeing Max loses a door mid-flight.
- Atlas Air blows an engine in the sky.
- Guy in Utah gets sucked into a commercial airliner while running on tarmac.
- Another Max plane gets dinged because of pesky loose bolts.
- Wheel nearly comes off commercial flight right before takeoff.
- United CEO is also a drag queen.
- Virgin flight missing bolts.
- Holes mis-drilled in new Max planes.
- A pair of JetBlue planes collide at Logan
- Perfectly-sane Britney Spears pilots a plane
- NYC bound plane makes a U-turn because of a fire in the cockpit
Year of the Road Trip, folks. BTW, we're currently looking at the Kia Telluride for our next family vehicle. Anyone drive one? Let me know, because Lordy are they pricey.
Next? Let's stay in crime-riddled New York:
My God. What a sneak attack! Whose side are we on here?
Look, it's a cheap shot. No doubt about it. Looks pretty painful, too.
But can we be honest for a second? When I lived in Boston for four years before they all got Trump Derangement Syndrome up there, nothing and I mean nothing annoyed me more than the people playing music in the subway.
And then they just stare at you forever wanting you to put money in the stupid tip bucket. It's the worst.
To be fair to this guy, his music sounds pretty pleasant, so I think I'm on his side here. You get stuck at a stop with someone banging the drums for 15 minutes, and it's a different story, though.
I'd probably go and pick it up and hit them again just to make sure the point gets across.
Finally …
Let's welcome NHL legend Jaromir Jagr to class!
Miss USA Madison Marsh is ready for the Daytona 500
What a line! All-time speech there from an NHL great. Welcome to class, Dominika Branisova, who is 29. Cheers to the happy couple!
Frankly, she's got nothing on 22-year-old Madison Marsh. Our newest Miss America is ready to lead the Daytona 500 field to green (finally) here in just a few minutes.
God Bless America.
Now let's go have a week.
OutKick Nightcaps is a daily column set to run Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. (roughly, we’re not robots).
