All-wheel-drive helps a lot (especially after driving the worst FWD car in the snow for a few years).

[NormsRevenge]

I almost miss driving in snow.. almost ;-)

[SouthTexas]

I don't drive in the snow.

OK, it's only one day out of every ten years or so...

[NormsRevenge]

Junior wins Most Popular Driver award again
December 2, 2005

NEW YORK -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won his third straight Chex NMPA NASCAR Most Popular Driver Award.

The announcement was made Friday during the National Motorsports Press Association's Myers Brothers Awards Breakfast at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York. A record number of fans nationwide have again voted the North Carolinian as the most popular driver.

"It's a huge honor to win the Most Popular Driver award just one time, but to win it three times in a row is pretty overwhelming. I just want to thank the fans, and I want to thank Chex and the National Motorsports Press Association for the award," Earnhardt said.

"This one probably means more to me than the others because of the kind of year we had. It's one thing to have fan support when you're riding high and winning races. It's another thing to have it during the rough times."

A record 4,157,443 votes were cast in 2005, a huge jump for an award which never had more than 400,000 votes in a year prior to General Mills sponsorship. Earnhardt Jr. has led the voting since the start of the 2003 season and easily captured enough votes in the record-setting 2005 year to again win the award. He finished with 1,403,544 votes, which is also an all-time record.

snip
Jeff Gordon finished second in the voting with 594,434 votes. Kasey Kahne was third with 343,154; 2005 champion Tony Stewart fourth with 246,026; and retiring Rusty Wallace fifth with 214,026. Rounding out the top 10 were Kevin Harvick, Michael Waltrip, Mark Martin, Dale Jarrett and Jimmie Johnson.
