Every year after the NASCAR Cup season ends, the sport decides the most popular NASCAR driver in all three categories. This year is no different, but many eyebrows were raised at the sponsor of the event.
The restaurant chain Hooters is the primary sponsor presenting the Most Popular Driver Award. Among the major contenders for this crown are Chase Elliott, Ross Chastain, and newly-crowned champion Joey Logano.
A lot of people noticed that Hooters is Chase Elliott’s sponsor, but that’s another story. Meanwhile, a fair number of people are hoping that Chastain could snatch the award from Elliott who has been winning the award since 2018.
