Canadian racer Maryeve Dufault rated 2011 as her best year and said she was excited on her entry into the world of NASCAR. The one and only Miss Hawaiian Tropic International, from Quebec felt all other initiatives of her were only to reach her goal as a racer. The gorgeous model is not only hot in looks, but is also hot at the wheels.

The Price Is Right Barker Beauty played in the 2005 Lingerie Bowl, had a Top 10 finish in her sixth ARCA race, did a spread for Maxim, and she drives a Dodge. Last year she made a nationwide racing debut at the Montreal Napa Auto Parts 200 in a NASCAR vehicle. Nothing amazing, for the multi talented gutsy girl, who is sure to scale more heights in all her endeavors in 2012.

When posed a question, to describe about herself, Maryeve says."Sure, some people think it is crazy, but I know where my heart is. I'm a race car driver, and I want to be known first for what I accomplish on the track. We all took different routes to get here, but every driver wants the same thing. You want to compete, and you want to win. My passion is here at the track." Dufault added, she still gets the questions and the puzzled looks as some folks struggle to understand her preference for the noise and smoke at the race track over the glitz and glamour of the modeling world.                                                                   (With inputs from internet: AarKay)
