Posted on December 2, 2021December 6, 2021 by Staff Report

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Pioneering motorsports broadcaster Bob Jenkins is the posthumous winner of the 2021 National Motorsports Press Association’s Myers Brothers Award, the NMPA announced Tuesday.

Presented annually since 1958, the award, named in honor of former NASCAR competitors Billy and Bobby Myers, recognizes individuals and/or groups who have provided outstanding contributions to the sport of stock-car racing. Each year, the NMPA Myers Brothers Award winner is selected by a vote of the NMPA membership.

Jenkins, who passed away in August 2021 at age 73 after a battle against brain cancer, was a fixture in ESPN’s NASCAR broadcast booth from 1979-2000, Initially, he teamed with Larry Nuber and later with NASCAR Hall of Famers Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons to form one of the sport’s most revered broadcast teams.

A native of Richmond, Indiana, Jenkins got his start in motorsports broadcasting as an IndyCar pit reporter on radio and television. When ESPN debuted in 1979, Jenkins was one of the first anchors for the new sports network, where he worked until 2003.

After leaving ESPN, Jenkins joined the staff at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, filling roles as a public-address announcer and press-conference emcee. Subsequently, he returned to the IndyCar broadcast booth with Versus and retained the role as chief IndyCar announcer when Versus was acquired by NBC Sports Group.

In 2019, Jenkins was inducted into the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum’s Hall of Fame, along with driver Dan Wheldon.

Chase Elliott’s National Motorsports Press Association Most Popular Driver Award presented by Hooters streak is now at four years running as the Hendrick Motorsports driver was awarded the hardware Thursday night at the 2021 NASCAR Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. The NASCAR Awards will air on NBCSN at 7 p.m. ET Saturday.

Elliott topped the balloting, which ran from Nov. 9-Dec. 1 and was based completely on voting by fans. Counting his two Most Popular Driver honors in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2014-15, he now has six Most Popular Driver honors across NASCAR national series.

Elliott’s recognition added to a long family history with the award. NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, his father, won Most Popular Driver a record 16 times non-consecutively during a span that began in 1984 and ended in 2002. That’s one more than Dale Earnhardt Jr., who claimed the award for 15 straight years until his retirement from full-time driving in 2017.

“Just super grateful to have a lot of great support across the country,” Elliott said. “It’s been super humbling, honestly. I feel like every year that goes by, we go to a new town or a new place and I’m just … like Road America this year, I think back to that event and that weekend and all the folks that were there supporting us was unbelievable.

“For me, I’m just as guilty as anybody, I don’t often realize just how much of an impact you can have or just how much someone is paying attention to what you do – just how much some young man or some young girl is looking up to you. I think those things are important to recognize and try to set a solid example at least or try to most of the time. The fans have been a huge part of my career and super proud to have that support and enjoy trying to make them proud in the process.”

A season after notching his first Cup Series title, Elliott nabbed two wins and reached the Championship 4 for the second straight season before ultimately falling short to Hendrick Motorsports teammate Kyle Larson in the title race at Phoenix Raceway.

The NMPA Most Popular Driver Award was presented to a Hendrick Motorsports driver for the 14th straight year, with Elliott’s four coming on the heels of Earnhardt’s 10 with the same organization.

Elliott emphasized he prides himself on remaining true to who he is as a person and competitor, appreciating the support in the process.

“I think for me, I’m certainly not the loudest person in the room, certainly if I don’t know you very well, either,” Elliott said. “Traveling around, I feel like I always try to do my thing and being in the position that you’re in as a race-car driver, No. 1 to me has always been about performance and trying go fast and do my job and I’ve tried to keep it simple as that. Might be boring in some cases, but it’s how I like to go about my business and how I like to go about my job and it’s how I feel like I can perform the best on Sundays.”

In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Justin Allgaier won the award for the third straight year after a season where he grabbed two wins in the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet. The award for Allgaier continues a 10-year run for JR Motorsports drivers. Other former JRM drivers to earn the honor during that time include Elliott Sadler (2016-18), Elliott (2014-15), Regan Smith (2013) and Danica Patrick (2012).

For the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, rookie Hailie Deegan took home the award. Deegan drove the No. 1 David Gilliland Racing Ford in her freshman season in a NASCAR national series and scored a career-best finish of seventh at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway in August. She becomes the second rookie in a row to win the award after Zane Smith won it in 2020.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A tradition started by Jimmie Johnson in 2011, Kyle Larson will be the latest NASCAR Cup Series champion to receive the Champion’s Journal.

At the suggestion of NASCAR’s vice chairman, Mike Helton, Johnson penned the first note in the small brown leather book in December 2011 after winning the 2010 title, passing it to 2011 champion Tony Stewart. His fifth championship at the time, Johnson, now a seven-time champion, wanted a mantle for the exclusive club of NASCAR’s most talented competitors.

Since then, six other drivers have had the privilege to receive the journal for a year – Brad Keselowski (2012), Kevin Harvick (2014), Kyle Busch (2015, ’19), Martin Truex Jr. (2017), Joey Logano (2018) and Chase Elliott (2020).

Larson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Elliott, is set to pass it along to the No. 5 driver. But the contents of the book remain untold.

“I feel like it’s the best-kept secret in our sport,” Larson said during Champion’s Week in Nashville. “I’m really looking forward to receiving that and getting to read what other drivers have written in it. I’m just excited to see the things people say. I was talking to Brad Keselowski about it [Wednesday] and he said he didn’t even remember what he wrote in it. It’ll just be neat to see the stories and see what they had to say.”

Elliott noted he plans on presenting the journal to Larson during the Hendrick Motorsports holiday celebration later in December and is still putting thought into what words he will leave Larson to carry on into 2022.

“It’s a great honor to have seen that and read what’s in it and be able to pass that along,” Elliott said. “… I wish they had started it sooner. Having been a champion and having a chance to read it, I just wish it went back further. I think it would be incredible.

“I can’t wait for the champ in 2050 or 2040 or whatever to get that and read what some of the greats have written like Tony and Jimmie. That’s gonna be a great honor for people to have it. It’s just going to get more special every year.”

While the message Elliott will eventually compose remains unwritten, one thing is for sure – we’ll never know.

“I haven’t decided exactly how I want to angle it, but even if I had, I probably wouldn’t share,” Elliott said. “That’s kind of the whole point of the book is for no one else to know it. Whatever I decide, I’ll make a personal decision and try to make it special.”

Larson awaits his turn to lay eyes on compositions by champions before him, leaving him full of anticipation for what he’ll see.

“I’m assuming, like I said I haven’t seen it, but I’m assuming it’s just a lot of respect, I think, between all the drivers,” Larson said. “Even the ones that don’t get along.”

NASHVILLE – It was a packed year for Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, who fielded his own team 23XI Racing team, and nearly claimed his first NASCAR Cup Series championship.

Hamlin won a pair of races and posted career-best marks in top-five (19) and top-10 (25) finishes and took eventual NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson to the wire in challenging for the regular season championship. He won two Playoff races – at Darlington and Las Vegas – and came a pit stop away from nearly pulling off his first NASCAR Cup Series title.

His 23XI Racing team officially expanded by a car and will add veteran, former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kurt Busch to the fold for 2022. Bubba Wallace scored a victory for the organization in its first season in 2021.

On paper it’s a challenging balance, but Hamlin and his ownership partner NBA legend Michael Jordan, certainly delivered on the team side and the 41-year-old Hamlin certainly delivered on the competition side.

“My passion for work is still really, really high and I knew that I wanted to run a business,” said Hamlin. “I didn’t know what that business would be, it turns out it’s team ownership. And hopefully I make the right decisions in the long term to make that all work out.

“I had to compartmentalize my time. I had to make sure that I designated certain days for certain aspects of my life.

“… I’m planned, I’m programmed, that’s the way I work,” Hamlin added, insisting about his time behind the wheel, “I feel as good as I’ve ever felt about the driving aspect of my career.

“If you had asked me three years ago, I’d have been like, ‘ugh, how much longer do I want to do this?’ And now I have no horizon, I don’t know. As long as I stay competitive like I’ve been doing, I don’t know. I’ll race until I’m Mark Martin, I guess.”

NASHVILLE – The 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion and perpetual title contender Kevin Harvick was philosophic about his 2021 season — the first winless year he has had at the NASCAR Cup Series level since 2009.

Asked about the year, Harvick reminded reporters Thursday he finished in the exact same championship position in 2021 – fifth place – when he went winless that he did in 2020 when he won nine races.

“I think our guys did a good job,” Harvick said at the Music City Center before the NASCAR Awards. “Obviously we’d love to have won, but we did a great job in managing the season. I don’t know what it says with how we currently exist with our current system.”

He added with a smile: “We won nine times last year and finished fifth, and we won nothing this year and finished fifth. I don’t really know how to take that, personally.”

Harvick extended his run of 20 or more top-10 finishes to nine years. He has had at least 10 top-five finishes for the past eight years. And while the driver of the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford was eliminated after the second round of the NASCAR Playoffs, he did score a pair of top-10 finishes in the round before getting derailed at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. He then closed out the year with top 10s in three of the final four races.

“I thought there were two or three [races] that we were in position to win and for one reason or another, running out of laps or following a roadblock, whatever the scenario was [we didn’t get them],” Harvick said. “I thought Phoenix, the last race of the year, we didn’t do a good job on pit road and to give ourselves a chance but I thought we had one of, or even the best car just needed to finish off track position.

“I think as you look at the season and look at the result, most people would say, ‘How did that happen?’ and that’s just a huge credit to the guys for giving us something manageable at the end of the year.”

NASHVILLE – Under normal circumstances, Kyle Larson doesn’t relish the media obligations that accompany his status as a top-level NASCAR Cup Series driver.

But these aren’t normal times.

Securing the 2021 series championship Nov. 7 at Phoenix Raceway caused a substantive shift in Larson’s perspective.

“It’s been cool to enjoy all the championship stuff, all the interviews, pictures, everything — all the stuff that you wouldn’t normally have fun with, I’ve been enjoying doing it this time,” Larson said Thursday at the Music City Center during an interview session with reporters before the NASCAR Awards. “Being a champion, I went into this and I want to enjoy every interview, every picture, every moment that I have.”

As to recognition from the general public, Larson still maintains a relatively low profile. Out in his native state of California last week for the Turkey Night Grand Prix USAC midget race, Larson made a side trip to Disneyland.

“I don’t know if any more people recognize me, now that I’m a champion,” Larson said. “I went to Disneyland and only had a handful of people recognized me, which was cool. Going to race the dirt stuff out West, there were a lot more people hanging around the pit area and taking pictures than normal.

“And all that stuff can get overwhelming at times, but again, it’s really cool. I want to just enjoy all of that.”

Before the race in Ventura, Larson’s hometown of Elk Grove gave its favorite son a parade worthy of a champion on Nov. 22.

“That was awesome, getting to go home, getting to go to Elk Grove and having that parade for me,” Larson said. “I wasn’t sure how many people were going to turn out. I was hoping it was going to be a lot, but you just don’t know, and I didn’t want it to be embarrassingly small either.

“The turnout surprised the heck out of me. It was way bigger than I thought it would be. So that was really awesome. I got to see a lot of familiar sprint car fans and some aunts and cousins and stuff I haven’t seen for a little while. It was awesome to get there.”

LONGFORM: A weekend home with NASCAR champion Kyle Larson

Matt Tifft’s career took a bit of a detour over the past few years, seeing the 25-year-old transition from the driver’s seat to the owner’s chair following an epilepsy diagnosis.

While that may have not been the long-term vision during his on-track come-up with top organizations like Kyle Busch Motorsports and Richard Childress Racing before a season in the Cup Series with Front Row Motorsports, it seems to be paying off — Tifft was named to Forbes Magazine’s prestigious ’30 Under 30′ list for 2022.

The annual list, released on Dec. 1 each year, recognizes “600 of the brightest young entrepreneurs, leaders and stars,” according to the outlet, and features fellow honorees among the sports category such as NBA shooting guard Devin Booker, NFL quarterback Dak Prescott and MLB first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 23XI Racing driver Bubba Wallace was also named to the list in 2014.

“To be recognized in this year’s Forbes 30 under 30 Class of 2022 is absolutely surreal,” Tifft told NASCAR.com. “Looking at the list of people I am involved with here is so incredible, but makes me want to prove myself even more and strive for even greater achievements. The NASCAR community has given me so much in my life from being a fan, a driver, and now an owner. I can’t put to words about how much I appreciate everything and everybody this great sport has done for me.”

This past season marked Tifft’s first as an owner — NASCAR’s youngest — with co-owner BJ McLeod piloting the No. 78 Live Fast Motorsports Ford in 28 of 36 Cup races in 2021. McLeod earned the team’s first top 10 in the regular-season finale at Daytona.

NASHVILLE — Team Penske had a special all-hands celebration Wednesday night for its burnout exhibition on the city streets of Nashville. If there are style points for collaborative creativity, then the organization’s 2021 driver lineup of Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano earned high marks.

The Burnouts on Broadway show aired Saturday at 6 p.m. ET, one hour before air time for The NASCAR Awards — both broadcast on NBCSN. But glimpses of the three-man Penske pirouettes have already emerged, with all three Mustangs smoking the tires, lined up nose to nose to nose.

Blaney said the plan was hatched just 10 minutes before their exhibition runs on Nashville’s main drag, and with all three drivers finishing together in the Cup Series standings, the stars aligned for a group burnout. Logano’s wife, Brittany, planted the idea.

“She said we all should do something together, and I thought that’d be kind of cool, especially with Brad kind of moving on,” said Logano, noting Keselowski’s departure to the newly renamed RFK Racing in 2022, “and we were you know, sixth, seventh, eighth in points, and so we lined up right next to each other. So I just randomly went to Brad and Blaney and said, so let’s just come out there, all three of us, and put like three noses together.

“So during the safety meeting … we drew up this plan that (Corey) LaJoie named ‘The Iron Lotus’ afterward, so now we have a name for it, and we put all three noses together, and we really weren’t sure this is gonna work, just never seen it done before. But what the heck, you got to try it.”

It was not only a last hurrah for Keselowski, who rounded out his 12-year term with Roger Penske this season, but also for the Gen-6 car. With the Next Gen car making its debut in 2022, the current models used in the burnout were expendable.

“Let’s do something different, let’s do something unique, and we planned that but I didn’t know if it was gonna work or not,” Blaney said. “I’m honestly, I’m surprised it did work. Because when we were, you know, ‘driver engineering’ it, you know we’re not the smartest people in the world, that we didn’t know if it was gonna work out. I thought, me and Brad we’re gonna end up dooring, but I can’t believe we stayed together.”

Neither could Logano, who continued to do separate burnouts with Keselowski after their three-car formation ended.

“You should have seen all our faces,” Logano said. “We could see each other inside, and when it actually started working, we were like ‘aaahhh! Oh my God, this is fun.’ It’s pretty cool.”
