Pictures: Who are the NASCAR power couples?
By George Diaz -- Pucker up, everybody.
'Tis the season, or at least the day, to celebrate modern romance.
It comes in all shapes and sizes these days. We have virtual girlfriends (ask Manti Te'o), a bevy of babes in our closet (ask Tiger Woods) and assorted wives and girlfriends who need some sugar (see NBA players).
But we're here to celebrate more traditional family values in one of America's cherished sports.
NASCAR's garage is stocked with a number of cool power couples. We'd like to extend a shout-out to some of the most prominent pairings in the sport, as the NASCAR season revs up with a romantic twist: Media Day will be today, Valentine's Day, at Daytona International Speedway.
The envelope please:

Ricky and Danica kissing by the car/What a cute couple even if their finishes are subpar. "Danicky" -- their new tagline in some circles -- are NASCAR's hottest power couple. The NASCAR Nation has developed a polarizing love-hate relationship with this queen of speed, who makes her first full-time run on the Sprint Cup tour this season. She will have company in a boyfriend she jokingly called "Richard" after their romance became public a few weeks ago. No doubt everyone's infatuation with Danica will drive this conversation as the season progresses, but Stenhouse will be the ultimate lucky dog who benefits from the wave of publicity.
