NASCAR fans have more than their racecar driver heroes and competing trucks to ogle this weekend. Holly Madison and Angelica Bridges are adding their sexy glamour to the NASCAR 350 Truck Race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Fiery redheaded bombshell Angelica, former Fantasy headliner at the Luxor, will sing the national anthem with her pop group Strawberry Blonde comprised of Angelica and her friends Gina Katon and Erin Yvonne, who all recently performed their original songs at The Playboy Mansion.

Peepshow and Holly’s World headliner Holly will utter those immortal words “Gentlemen, start your engines,” and fire the starter’s pistol. The race covers 219 miles over 146 laps starting at 6:30 p.m., with the drivers’ introductions at 6. The action of NASCAR weekend gets underway today with a free autograph session with the drivers starting at 7 p.m. at Stratosphere.
