CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chase Elliott has been named NASCAR’s most popular driver for the seventh straight year. He was announced Friday at NASCAR’s annual season-ending awards ceremony. It’s the only major NASCAR award determined solely by the vote of race fans. Elliott beat out Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson and Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney, per results released by the National Motorsports Press Association. Bill Elliott, Chase’s father who is nicknamed “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,” was named NASCAR’s most popular driver a record 16 times before removing his name from the ballot. Either an Elliott or Earnhardt has won NASCAR’s most popular driver award for 34 consecutive years.
