Justin Timberlake's Car Wins The Indianapolis 500

Okay, some driver named Dan Wheldon helped out too.

Pop quiz time. What do IndyCar racing, The Social Network and ‘N Sync have in common? The same thing Britney Spears, Jessica Biel and Olivia Munn do—Justin Timberlake’s been in all of them.

No, Timberlake didn’t pull a Tony Stark and spontaneously climb into a car at the start of the race (though we certainly would have enjoyed the sight of Mickey Rourke attacking him with energy whips); however, the car sponsored by his William Rast clothing line, driven by Dan Wheldon and run by Bryan Herta Autosport took the checkered flag at the Indianapolis 500 last Sunday. Yes, it’s official: there is no longer any activity on Earth you can enjoy without Justin Timberlake being involved somehow.

Wheldon was only able to take home the win after then-leader J. R. Hildebrand crashed on the final lap; the victorious Wheldon was only at the front of the field for the last lap of the race, but it was long enough to net him a bottle of milk and a $2.56 million purse. (For what it’s worth, Indy rookie Hildebrand finished second, even though he was only rolling on three tires at the time.) As for Timberlake, we can only assume he went home and had a post-race three way with Danica Patrick and Simona De Silvestro.

    He was with Oliva Munn? NO WAY!? What? The race? Yea! It was an awesome race! One of the best Indy races ever. P.S. DO NOT ever talk about Simona like that again! Mmmmkay? P.S.S. Same goes for Pippa Mann. P.S.S.S. Same rules apply for Ana Beatriz.
