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 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 Ryan McKinney, car chief and rear-tire changed for the No. 16 Ford in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

Born: June 7, 1974
Birthplace: Anderson, Ind.
Current residence: Davidson, N.C.

In his words: "My favorite aspect of NASCAR is the competition, which creates the drive to push the limits and be creative when working on ways to make the car faster. I also enjoy the endless pursuit of discovering an advantage over our competition. I want to find the next thing to make the car go faster before my competition does. As soon as you figure out something that works, you’ve got to move on to the next challenge, because that’s how fast things move in this sport."
