More than 10,000 ballots have been cast for the second annual WorldCom
Most
Popular Driver Award and Sweepstakes, which continues through September
18.
Most of those votes have been cast on the Internet, at cart.com or
worldcomracing.com. Ballots are also available in Champ Car, Championship
Racing and Racer magazines and in all FedEx Championship Series event
programs through the Sept. 17 Motorola 300 at Gateway International
Raceway.
Balloting may also be done at all FedEx Championship Series events through
Sept. 17.
Through ballots tabulated as of Aug. 17, the top five vote-getters, in alphabetical order, were Michael Andretti (Big Kmart/Texaco/Havoline Ford Lola), Adrian Fernandez (Tecate/Quaker State/Patrick Racing Ford Reynard), Juan Montoya (Target Toyota Lola), Paul Tracy (KOOL Honda Reynard) and Jimmy Vasser (Target Toyota Lola). The winner will receive his award at the season-ending FedEx Championship Series Awards Banquet on Oct. 30 in Los Angeles. In conjunction with the award, one voter will be selected to receive a trip for two to Los Angeles for the season-ending FedEx Championship Series event, the Oct. 29 The 500 Presented by Toyota at California Speedway. He and a guest will also attend the banquet the following night, where he will present the Most Popular Driver Award, and a check for $25,000 in the name of the winning driver, to the driver's charity of choice.
