Score one for Drag Racing Ladies!
Ashley Force won out top honors in the AOL Hottest Female Sports Athlete contest. She defeated Jennie Fitch by a landslide: 79%-21%, showing the loyalty and following of NHRA's fan base.
Ashley was considered a major underdog in the contest, going up against overhyped IRL driver Danica Patrick and the well-known softball vixen, Jennie Fitch. This just proves how large the drag racing appeal spreads.
Now, Ashley will go up against the Hottest male athlete winner, Tom Brady for the overall Hottest Athlete title. So far, she shows a commanding 80% lead in the votes.
GO ASHLEY, GO!
With much ado about lady drivers this season, I wonder what the official outcome would be within the sport itself? I posted a poll here on my blog to judge. Take your vote. Its only the professional classes currently in competition. I have a feeling I know who will win, hands down. But lets see the fans come out and support!
***Update: I've closed the poll, and as suspected, Ashley wins with 57.1% of the votes, followed by Angelle with 15.9%, and Melanie with 11.1%. ***
