NEW YORK -- For the second straight year, fans voted Dale Earnhardt Jr. the Pillsbury Grands! Biscuits NMPA NASCAR Most Popular Driver. The announcement was made Friday during the National Motorsports Press Association's Myers Brothers Awards Breakfast at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

Earnhardt Jr. becomes just the fifth driver in the award's history to have won in consecutive years, joining Bobby Allison, Richard Petty, Bill Elliott and Darrell Waltrip. A year ago, his selection by race fans made Earnhardt Jr. and his father, Dale Earnhardt, the only father-son combination to have won NASCAR's oldest off-track honor.

I think he is going to run it like Bill Elliott did. The only way he will be beat is when he retires or removes himself from the competetion.


WTG Jr. :thumbsup:
