Country music and stock-car racing go together like peanut butter and jelly. Each week, we'll bring you a NASCAR preview featuring one of your favorite country artists.

The official NASCAR Sprint Cup Series kicks off Sunday with the Daytona 500, and race aficionados know that this early in the season, anything could happen. Our guest commentators this week are Rascal Flatts. The guys make beautiful harmonies on stage, but they have differing opinions on who will take the checkered flag at the famed tri-oval. Jay DeMarcus is going with Danica Patrick, Gary LeVox thinks Kevin Harvick will win, and Joe Don Rooney is hoping for a comeback for Jeff Gordon.

Some storylines to watch for on Sunday:

• All eyes will be on Carl Edwards who had an amazing 2011 season and has won the pole.
• Focus will also be on Danica Patrick, who left Indy racing to become a full-time NASCAR driver.
• There are also high hopes for Jeff Gordon, who rolled his number-24 Chevy after bumping Kyle Busch in the Budweiser Shootout last weekend. Gordon walked away from the wreckage unscathed.

A Georgia man came up with a unique idea about how to "Grease" his path from the big house to the looney bin -- by telling cops he committed a murder on the orders of an angel that looked like Olivia Newton John!

Prosecutors aren't so sure about the divine guidance, saying that Hemy Neuman killed the husband of a co-worker because he was obsessed with her and even believed he was the father of her kids.

Neuman also alleges he was commanded by a demon who sounded like Barry White.

Neuman faces life in prison without parole if convicted. He'd be turned over to the state mental health system if found not guilty.

You can safely say that Michael Harper is no whiz kid -- after the British man put himself in the hospital with third-degree burns by causing an explosion when he urinated on a transformer during a robbery attempt.

Harper and an accomplice had broken into a power plant to steal copper wiring, which they planned to sell in order to buy heroin. But part way through the process, Harper felt a wee bit of urgency and proceeded to relieve himself onto exposed electrical wires -- resulting in a fireball that caused disfiguring burns to his privates.

It's safe to assume he's not feeling like number one right about now.

A Georgia woman who was in the process of being busted for assault tried to ensure her right to remain silent -- by asking if she could shove a crack pipe in her mouth!

Essie May Jones was suspected of stabbing a male companion in a fight involving several people, so cops showed up to haul her off. While she didn't resist, she asked the arresting officer if she could smoke some of her crack stash first, since she wouldn't be allowed to smoke it behind bars.

The deputy declined the request, but added possession of a controlled substance to her list of charges.

A Victoria's Secret Angel has grounded herself.

Kylie Bisutti has left the brand because she believes modeling lingerie goes against her Christian faith.

The 21-year-old tells Fox News, "Victoria's Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise... But the more I was modeling lingerie -- and lingerie isn't clothing -- I just started becoming more uncomfortable with it because of my faith. I'm Christian, and reading the Bible more, I was becoming more convicted about it."

Kylie is married and said that was also a factor in her decision. "My body should only be for my husband and it's just a sacred thing.

A Maryland man was arrested last week after attempting to make the other white meat even whiter -- by dousing dozens of packages of supermarket pork with bleach.

John Waskey, a former employee of the Food Lion market, calmly walked in, grabbed a bottle of bleach from a shelf and began pouring it over the meat case. He ultimately ruined more than 90 pre-packed chops, roasts and ribs -- causing $700 in damage.

Waskey was charged with theft and malicious destruction of property. He gave no reason for his rampage.
