Chase Elliott was named NASCAR’s most popular driver for the seventh consecutive year at the sport’s season-ending awards ceremony Friday night. The only major NASCAR award determined solely by the vote of fans, Elliott earned 266,363 votes to beat out Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson and Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney, per results released by the National Motorsports Press Association. Chase’s father Bill Elliott, nicknamed “Awesome Bill from Dawsonville,” was named NASCAR’s most popular driver a record 16 times before removing his name from the ballot.
