Kyle Busch Voted NASCAR's Most Popular Driver: 'It's Really Special'

NASCAR fans voted Kyle Busch the Cup Series’ Most Popular Driver after his death earlier this year. His widow, Samantha Busch, accepted the award at the sport’s annual end-of-season ceremony in Miami on Tuesday. Busch, a two-time Cup champion, had 63 Cup Series victories. Chase Elliott, who had won the award eight years in a row, withdrew from the ballot, and several drivers encouraged fans to vote for Busch.
