NASCAR Stars Take to the Red Carpet in Nashville

NASCAR honored the champions of its top three national series at the annual NASCAR Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. The other 15 Cup Series playoff drivers were also in attendance. 

Headlining the event was 2022 NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford. The title was Logano’s second, following the championship he won for team owner Roger Penske in 2018.

For the fifth straight year, Chase Elliott won the NMPA Most Popular Driver Award, the only significant honor in the sport determined solely by fan vote. Elliott’s father, Bill Elliott, won the award a record 16 times. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was voted Most Popular Driver for 15 seasons.
