It would have gone to that guy right there, Tony Stewart
I'm pretty sure my fans wear this award as a badge of honor, and they should, because the award is their's ... Their efforts allow me to be here today to accept it, so I want to not only thank them but congratulate them on winning the ninth consecutive most popular driver award.
