More than 60,000 votes were submitted for the fifth-annual Late Model Most Popular Driver Award balloting presented by ARbodies.com on Speed51.com. Votes came in from all over the world, but as the Speed51.com staff tabulated the results, it became apparent that one nation helped lead an unexpected driver to become the fifth different Most Popular Driver winner in the contest’s history. Which nation might that be? None other than, “Junior Nation.” The legions of fans of popular NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his JR Motorsports Late Model team helped propel 21-year-old Tennessee native and JR Motorsports Late Model Stock Car driver Josh Berry to the title of the 2011 Speed51.com/AR Bodies Late Model Most Popular Driver. “That’s awesome to be the Most Popular Driver and I’m honored to be a part of it,” said Berry, who was a weekly competitor at Virginia’s Motor Mile Speedway in 2011. “It’s really exciting. I don’t think I’m necessarily one of the most recognized of all the drivers out there; maybe this will help that. “Really though, all the credit goes to JR Motorsports and being tied to Dale Jr. Our company really prides itself on its social media and I think that played a big role in getting all the votes. It’s become such a huge part of sponsorship and interacting with fans. Having that kind of exposure and pull is a big plus, not only for my sponsors we have already, but the sponsor we have coming on board for next year, Speedco Truck Lube. One of their big selling points with us was our social media exposure.” http://www.catchfence.com/2012/otherseries/01/18/junior-nation-helps-josh-berry-become-2011-speed51-com-late-model-most-popular-driver/?utm_campaign=twitter_tweet&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter |
