I've been uber-dorky this morning. I just had a major discussion with a coworker (male) about the Sexiest Driver poll at Foxsports.com. I was trying to explain the different categories of sexy, being photogenic, and how the different levels of sexy don't top the ultimate sexy, which just drips from a person no matter what. Sexy isn't appearance, it's attitude.
This was in conjunction with explaining why Michael Waltrip's goofy sexy is sexier than Jimmie Johnson's prettiness. And that goofy can in fact be sexy. (I hope like hell goofy is sexy, because I am the Michael Waltrip to
zeplum's Junior, after all. Our love is so DEI!)
Why yes, my dork is showing.
Of course the whole sexiest driver thing is influenced by who folks find to be their favorite driver or who they can't stand. Junior and Gordon fans are going to work hard to counteract each other (which is why the Junior v. Stewart pole is currently so close). True sexiness is also subjective.
Personally, in NASCAR there is one driver that tops all for ultimate sexy in my book. Everything about him, from appearance to attitude, is sexy.

Bobby Labonte
Yeah, I said it. And his sticker isn't even on the back of my car.
Dale Jarrett takes the second spot. He's a more sedate sexy, but it's the weathered cowboy kind of sexy.
(You know, I really need to sit down and work out a list on this.)
