Danica Patrick has brought many new fans into NASCAR, People who have never seen a NASCAR race before are now tuning in to cheer for Danica and the No. 10 Chevrolet. She has the fastest growing fan base in all of NASCAR
Patrick won the Most Popular Driver Award in the Nationwide Series for 2012. She is already appealing to fans to vote her into the Sprint All Star Race for 2013.
But she isnt as popular as Jr is---yet some say. Jr is very proud of his awards, said its almost like a christmas present.
Should either driver score a race win that will surely drive more fans to vote for them, so in reality winning counts, even in a popularity contest. that is unless Tim Leeming gets into the running
