 Grant, AL-- Erica Ortiz and Debbie Denny, the women of drag racing and the engine that runs the all-female race team, Horsepower and Heels. Together with PNN.Com, the team is launching a first-of-its-kind, all female Drag Racing Web Video Series called Horsepower and Heels.
Burning rubber all across the country in her 2007 Pro-Mod Mustang, race driver Erica begs the question, “who says Horsepower and Heels don’t mix?” Set to break more records and pave a way for her career, Erica, with the help of her teammate and marketer extraordinaire, Debbie, is determined to further her love for her career in drag racing while she races to reach the professional ranks of the NHRA.
“I am a girly-girl and a race driver. I’m an advertising professional by day — a drag racer and mechanic by weekend. I travel the country towing my racecar by myself… and encounter all kinds of people along the way,” said Erica Ortiz, driver for the Horsepower and Heels team. “I work on the car, I drive the car, I get dirty…. But I’m still very much into my dresses and my high heels.”
The weekly web-based TV Series will follow Erica and Debbie behind the scenes as they complete the car and race to get back on the track. The show will kick off in September and previews can be viewed at http://horsepowerandheels.pnn.com/2321-the-show .
