Ashley Force named to Top Trends search list for Yahoo! sports news
One of the favorite sites of internet savvies is Yahoo! The site has once been useful when I was looking for an Acura Cl Ac condenser and recently, the site named its Top Trends in Search for 2007 in its sports news domain. Luckily, the racing sweetheart, Ashley Force, made it to the Number ten post. Force made it behind NASCAR, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and other major sports celebrities.
Force made history when she became the first woman to advance to a final round in Funny Car in the NHRA. She was also awarded as the NHRA’s rookie of the year recognized by the Auto Club Road to the Future. In the NHRA POWERade Series, Ashley Force made it to the tenth place finishing in her Castrol GTX Ford Mustang. The 25 year old racer is the daughter of 14-time NHRA Funny Car world Champion John Force. The father and daughter duo stars in a reality TV show aired on the A&E Network, the “Driving Force”.
Her NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series victory made Ashley Force a celebrity. Earlier this year, she was named the “Hottest Athlete” in a nationwide survey conducted by AOL. Most fans voted for her defeating New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and IRL driver Danica Patrick. Additional publicities were given to her by her appearances in Good Morning America of ABC and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She was also featured in one famous journal for men.
“Searches can give us insight into a culture in motion and Yahoo!'s Top Trends in Search in 2007 reflects the world's fascination with crossroads and breakthroughs,” Heather Cabot, Yahoo! Web life editor, said in a press release. “People weren't just buzzing about celebrity. More than ever they sought to be environmentally responsible, were using the Web to find out about food and product safety and getting the scoop on the latest gadgets."
