Do you know what a "Racing Homer" is? Fun fact: it's the type of pigeon specifically bred for the sport of bird racing. But on 'The Simpsons' (Sun., 8PM ET on Fox), the term "Racing Homer" could just as easily apply to ... Mr. Homer Simpson himself.

After Bart finds a wounded pigeon and nurses it back to health, Homer takes charge. With the help of Moe the bartender, he decides to enter the bird in the annual "Springfield Birditarod" race. But Homer's fantasies of bird-racing glory lead to a surreal dream sequence, guest-starring sexy race car driver Danica Patrick. The female driver waltzes into Homer's dream, causing him to say ...

" ... Danica Patrick!" (Okay, zero points for cleverness there.) "That's right, Homer," she replies. "I"m contractually obligated by my sponsors to appear in random fans' fantasies." Mmm ... contractual obligation. There are no sweeter or sexier words than that.
