Earnhardt Wins NASCAR's Most Popular Driver Award For 15th Time

Dale Earnhardt Jr. last night won NASCAR's "Most Popular Driver Award" for the 15th consecutive year in Las Vegas. Earnhardt won the award during the annual season-ending awards ceremony, which is "meant to fete all the playoff drivers and Cup champion Martin Truex Jr." But this week has "truly been a send-off for Earnhardt, who was also named Grand Marshal for February's season-opening Daytona 500." NASCAR Chair & CEO Brian France also "presented Earnhardt with The Bill France Award of Excellence on Thursday." The award is "not presented every year" (AP, 11/30).
