Note: This is made up.
Satellite TV providers DirecTV and Dish Network reported a surge in digital video recorder activation after word circulated Thursday that ESPN pit hotties Jamie Little and Brienne Pedigo would embrace.
"When I got the email, for a second there I thought ESPN/ABC was really turning up the heat on their efforts to drive up Indy 500 ratings," said Rob Donaldson, a random fan who received a promotional email with the subject line: "ESPN PR -- ESPN Reporters Jamie Little, Brienne Pedigo Embrace."
Donaldson was visibly disappointed when he read the real subject line was "ESPN PR -- ESPN Reporters Jamie Little, Brienne Pedigo Embrace Indy Excitement." Donaldson's inbox simply cut off the last two words.
The email did nothing to quell the growing debate over whether former IndyCar and current Busch series pit hotty, Little, and IndyCar's New Pit Hotty, Pedigo, would stage some kind of "hot off" during the 500.
"As competitive women, I would just think -- OK, maybe hope -- that the two would want to settle, once and for all, the question of 'who's the hottest?' " said Donaldson.
"Both are very hot, obviously," said an ABC executive who asked to be named. "I'd say they're smoldering hot, as a matter of fact. I'm sure there will be extra makeup care taken for the 500, and, well, if a pit fire-suit zipper tends to get a little low here and there, I don't think the audience will complain."
Rumors that Pedigo and Little planned to team up with league hotty Danica Patrick to see if they could generate enough heat to start a used Firestone Firehawk tire on fire could not be confirmed.
Still, Indianapolis Motor Speedway fire crews weren't taking any chances. "We put out the word to try and keep those three from getting together near anything remotely flammable," said IMS Fire Chief Bernie Chunkerstein. "Lots of ethanol around down there, for example, and the last thing we need is a lip-gloss-induced fire ball."

Just in time for Indy. Pressdog logo stuff. T-shirts, coffee cups, beer steins. I appreciate your support.
Makes me think of a quote I just read from Jessica Alba: "I hope all my new work will help in getting past my hotness."
This calls for some kind of award for Hottest Pit Hottie. How about we call it the "Mindy"?
I Am Mindy - HEY!

That quote might be the best ever!

With those three...then if Milka Duno shows up...just call the fire department. Don't even wait for signs of the fire, it's already happening.

The rate she's going, Milka might well be available
They should have her interview Kosuke. It'd be a hoot.
