Kyle Busch Voted NASCAR's Most Popular Driver: 'It's Really Special'

Fans posthumously voted Kyle Busch the NASCAR Cup Series Most Popular Driver, and his widow Samantha accepted the award.
Busch died May 21 from pneumonia complications; his family—especially sons Brexton and Lennix—were visibly moved by the honor.
Fellow drivers rallied behind him (Chase Elliott removed himself from the ballot), spotlighting the respect and kinder side of the often polarizing "Rowdy."
