Hottie of the Month: Leilani Münter

"Leilani Münter is a professional race car driver and environmental activist. She holds a bachelors degree in Biology specializing in Ecology, Behavior and Evolution from the University of California San Diego. While attending college she worked as a volunteer at a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center. Leilani adopts an acre of rain forest for every race she runs and has been a long time vegetarian and eco activist. She is politically active in the legislative fight for the environment and has made several visits to Capitol Hill to speak with members of Congress on behalf of climate change legislation."



"Leilani is the fourth woman in history to race in the Indy Pro Series, the development league of IndyCar. She set the record for the highest finish for a female driver in the history of the Texas Motor Speedway when she finished fourth in 2006. Her racing accomplishments have landed her on the pages of USA Today, Vanity Fair, Glamour, Vogue, Reader's Digest, the Washington Post, and ESPN. Esquire Magazine has called her "A Woman We Love" and Sports Illustrated named her in their list of the top ten female race car drivers in the world."



Leilani once worked as a photo double and stunt driver for Catherine Zeta Jones. With family ties in the music community – her brother-in-law is Grateful Dead guitarist and singer Bob Weir – she is a bit of a hippie. She documents her efforts to go green on her eco site carbonfreegirl.com. Leilani is left handed. She is small, but tough.
