The Gorgeous Women Of 2008 Motorsport
2008 has been an interesting year in motorsport – from F1 to NASCAR. What makes this year even more interesting? What the females of this industry have achieved.
Erin Crocker – RILF – Racer I’d Like To ****
In the world of Motorsport there’s two types of women – those who wear their sex appeal on their shoulder (see Danica, Milka below) and those who have it hiding up under their jumpsuits. Looking more like that one hot desperate housewife from next door, New Englander Erin Crocker has struck the world of NASCAR like a bolt of grease lightening. At the age of 27 Eric’s already raced some of sport’s most famous tracks and battled during the Craftsman Truck series. Erin also received 2003’s National Sprint Car Hall of Fame Rookie of the Year award. She is currently set to do play by play race coverage for SPEED Channel.
Ashley Force – Feel the Force
Ashley Force is not only daughter of 14-time NHRA Funny Car division champ John Force, and one of the stars of that family’s A&E reality series Driving Force, but also the first female Funny Car driver to compete in a national series Funny Car final round. Ashley and her father also teamed up in 2007 to be the first father/daughter team to race against one another. She beat her daddy in that race – as she did again earlier this year at a NHRA Funny Car competition in Atlanta.
Milka Duno – Caliente!
Milka, originally from Venezuala, currently races against fellow racer/hottie Danica Patrick on the United States IndyCar circuit. Aside from garnering much attention off the track (she’s a former model, go figure) Milka also holds Master’s Degrees in Marine Biology, Maritime Business, Naval Architecture and Organizational Development. Brains, beauty and the ability to drive. Aside from finishing 19th at the 2008 Indy500 she also took part in the filming of this year’s movie adaptation of Speed Racer.
Natacha Gachnang – Making Formula 2 Hot
Formula Two is a new level of racing, and to bring attention to the sport is none other than 21 year old Swiss native Natacha Gachnang. This beauty has plenty of experience on the track for a young woman, fighting it out in both Formula BMW and the F3 series. The end of 2008 brought her into F2, the FIA’s new “low-cost” category for premier grand prix racing. If Natacha can hold her own as well as she has in previous competitions you can expect to catch a glimpse of her in Formula One by 2010.
Danica Patrick – Beauty and the Track
The grace and seductiveness that brought sexiness back to racing, and no longer kept it a male-oriented sport. Not only that, but Danica has made history time and time again. Just this year she was the first female to take home an Indy 300 Japan win, and has won 1-2-3 pole positions at multiple races during her relatively short career. She’s been knocked for her abilities, her size being used as an advantage, and her sex. But none of those keeps Danica from proving that racing ability is not gender-bias.
These are just a few of the hottest women of racing! You fail to mention Jessie Harris, known as the Queen of Diamonds, Leah Pruett, Angelle Sampey and Melanie Troxel…a few of my favourites!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholders, I guess…
