Who are NASCAR’s most beautiful people?
The Sporting News asked that question of readers, fans and those who cover the sport, and the results weren’t limited by traditional definitions of beauty. The editors considered fan favorites and sponsor favorites and gave them points, and they also awarded points to “those were were making waves in the sport.”
The results of this non-traditional approach are now out with the publication of NASCAR’s 50 Most Beautiful People. The special edition is now available on newsstands and at the online store at www.streetandsmiths.com.
SceneDaily is running the list, with one person from the top 50 to be featured each day. Only the top selection was ranked, with the rest following in a random order that allows fans to decide who should be ranked where.
Today's installment features Erik Darnell, driver of the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Born: Dec. 2, 1982
Birthplace: Beach Park, Ill.
Current residence: Davidson, N.C.
In his words: "The one word that comes to mind when describing NASCAR would be ‘tradition.’ There is such a rich history from Richard Petty to Dale Earnhardt that it’s pretty special to be a part of such an exclusive class. To be able to go out and race with the best drivers in the sport is an incredible feeling. I still can’t believe I get to do something for a living that I enjoy so much.""
