Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, was crowned Best Bitch ahead of Emmerdale's Emma Atkins (Charity Macey) and Hollyoaks duo Anna Passey (Sienna Blake) and Tamara Wall (Grace Black).
Speaking to Daily Star Sunday, Inside Soap editor Steven Murphy described Tracy as a "soap legend".
"It was really close in the Best Bitch *category but there's no denying how much of a soap legend Tracy Barlow has become, which is all down to Kate," Murphy said.
"We can't wait to hand out the awards to soap's baddest, biggest, fittest and most fantastic on Wednesday night.
"The competition has been tougher than ever this year as all the soaps have been on top form."
Ford's co-star Natalie Gumede picked up the Best Bitch award during last year's ceremony for her portrayal of Kirsty Soames.
Other categories at this year's Inside Soap Awards include Best Family, Best Bad Boy, Best Storyline and Best Soap.
Hollyoaks leads the way with 15 nominations in total, followed by EastEnders with 14, Emmerdale with 12 and Coronation Street with 11.
