New Miss V8 Supercar crowned.

The highly prestigious position of Miss V8 Supercar for next season has been decided with eighteen year old Riana Crehan from Beechboro in Western Australia taking the position at a glittering grand final evening at Melbourne's Crown Casino.

Riana was chosen from 36 finalists in this year's Bartercard Miss V8 Supercar grand final, and was thrilled to receive the title.

"I'm so excited to win this title, and I'm stunned to have taken it out ahead of so many other beautiful girls," a thrilled Riana Crehan said shortly after her win.

Riana Crehan replaces last year's winner, Renee Maurer.
"Renee has been extremely professional this year and I'll have big shoes to fill . I'm really looking forward to the journey and I'm sure it will be an unforgettable experience!"

Some of the guest judges at the grand final evening included V8 driver Jason Richards, Paul Dumbrell and David Brabham, and Hawthorn footballers Ben Dixon and Campbell Brown.

V8 Supercars Australia Chairman Tony Cochrane also joined the judging panel, and liked what he saw.

"The Bartercard Miss V8 Supercar competition has become an integral part of the V8 Supercar championship," said Cochrane.

"From Shanghai to Darwin, all the girls involved have done a stunning job and I'd like to congratulate Riana and welcome her to the V8 series. She will make a great ambassador for our sport."
