Can Ex-NASCAR WAG out model this...?

NASCAR fans have a reason to turn into reality TV this mid-season -- either out of genuine interest ... or in hopes of seeing a trainwreck.

The CW has announced the contestants of America's Next Top Model Cycle 12 and there is a familiar face among them:

This... is Kortnie Coles

Kortnie Coles is the former short-term girlfriend of NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

As shown in "Episode 6: Dallas" of the first season of NASCAR Drivers 360, Junior met Kortnie at Texas Motor Speedway on April 3, 2004 while she was getting his autograph. He later asked for hers.  Kortnie was subsequently featured in "Episode 7: Martinsville," but rumors of their break up hit as early as June, before either episode aired, and were confirmed by Labor Day. To date, their short-lived relationship is the driver's most public.

Kortnie recently had a role in a movie that has not yet been picked up by a major studio and in 2001, she was featured in the "I'm A Race Car Driver" episode of MTV's "True Life."  Previously, she was a spokesmodel for a Texas oil company.

Kortnie currently resides in Houston, Texas and works as an assistant to a group of eye surgeons.  Her birthdate is Sept. 22, 1984.
