Danica Isn’t Doing So Hot In Esquire ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ Tournament

This time of year is always good for brackets and tournaments, so Esquire is staging a 64-woman contest to determine the “Sexiest Woman Alive.”

↵GoDaddy GIrl/Model/Celebrity/Driver Danica Patrick qualified for the poll, but is not on the pole – far from it, in fact. Danica was given the No. 9 seed in the “Sports” bracket and is going nose-to-nose (kind of) with ESPN’s Erin Andrews.

↵Unfortunately, Danica’s results so far have been similar to her Nationwide Series races. Andrews is running away with the voting, and Danica is getting lapped (more than 75 percent of the votes had been cast for Andrews as of Tuesday afternoon).

↵Danica tweeted about the poll on Tuesday, hoping to pick up some more votes.

↵↵@danicapatrick: I guess I am in a contest and you all know how competitive I am - haha.... Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive contest

↵↵If you’d like to help Danica’s race to get to the next round (or vote against her, for that matter), click here. The winner faces either No. 1 seed Natalie Gulbis or No. 16 seed Lane Kiffin (yes...the USC football coach, who is male) in the next round.
