Chase Elliott has been named NASCAR's most popular driver for the seventh year in a row at the season-ending awards ceremony. The award, determined solely by fan votes, saw Elliott receive 266,363 votes, surpassing his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson and Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney.
Elliott comes from a family with a rich history in NASCAR. His father, Bill Elliott, known as “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,” holds the record for winning the most popular driver award 16 times before withdrawing his name from the ballot.
