Special Motorsports Event - McIntosh To Be Showcased On MTV Tuesday August 30th - VIDEO ENHANCED

WHO:

INDYCAR Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 driver Shannon McIntosh

WHAT:

MTV Networks, the world's premier youth entertainment brand, will air a docu-reality special MTV Presents Seventeen Magazine's Pretty Amazing Contest Tuesday featuring INDYCAR Mazda Road to Indy USF2000 driver Shannon McIntosh. With a global reach of more than a half-billion households, MTV will profile McIntosh, along with the four other finalists who are competing for the cover of Seventeen magazine.

The 22-year-old McIntosh would make headlines if she landed the cover. She would become the first athlete to grace the storied Seventeen magazine since Olympian Dorothy Hamill did in 1976.

McIntosh learned in May 2011 she was a finalist to grace the October 2011 cover of Seventeen, the iconic fashion and beauty magazine for 13 million teen girls, as part of the magazine's inaugural "Pretty Amazing" real girl cover contest. The Miamisburg, Ohio native was featured in the August 2011 issue in a one-page spread and is also featured in the September issue, which is currently on newsstands.

MTV cameras captured McIntosh during her race weekend at The Milwaukee Mile in early June along with her trip to New York City for a makeover, photo shoot, and a luncheon with actress Miranda Cosgrove, star of Nickelodeon's hit show iCarly.

The Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing driver is making her second appearance on MTV, following a feature on MTV's The Seven in earlier this year.
