A winner is ultimately determined by a fan vote, which launched Sunday during FOX Sports' "Race Hub" and will run through Nov. 4. Results will then be announced during a livestream event Nov. 5 on NASCAR.com.
The NASCAR Foundation will donate $100,000 to the charity represented by the award winner and $25,000 to each of the other three finalists’ charities.
