Each year, the Miss Food City 500 Pageant is a highly popular event.  The 2008 edition showcased 17 young women from across the region.  Each girl entered the beautiful Paramount Center for the Arts in downtown Bristol, TN with hopes of winning the title of Miss Food City 2008.

When the moment arrived, it was Jennifer Whittington of Pounding Mill, VA who was crowned 2008 Miss Food City.  Jennifer is a 23 year-old student at the Quillen College of Medicine in Johnson City, TN.  "I was completely shocked when the announcer called my name, but it has been an incredible honor and a blessing to be crowned Miss Food City 500. I would like to personally congratulate all of the other contestants on a job well done and thank them for the friendship and memories that we have all made," Whittington commented.

Jennifer will represent Food City during the Food City 500 and the Food City 250 NASCAR events at Bristol Motor Speedway during 2008.  In addition to those responsibilities, Jennifer will represent Food City at various other company events.
