Miss Food City 2010

As always, this blog is an unabashed supporter of the greatest venue in sports: Bristol Motor Speedway. And to that end, there is an obligation to report the elevation of this year’s Miss Food City: Melissa O'Neal.

We all loved Lindsey. But meet the new Miss Food City:

O'Neal enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, going to the lake, reading, modeling, watching NASCAR races and participating in pageants. She was featured in Fashion Showcase for pageantry/prom Time Magazine's spring 2009 issue. She was president of the Campus Activities Board and a member of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society at Roane State Community College. She is most proud of her volunteer work with various organizations including Teens Against Drugs Center, Bread of Life Rescue Mission, Relay for Life, Salvation Army and an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. She plans to obtain a bachelor's degree in mass communication and pursue a career as a broadcast personality. She hopes to study abroad, continue to promote volunteerism and one day have a family of her own.
