  • Chase Elliott won the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Most Popular Driver Award on Nov. 22. Impressively, it was the seventh consecutive season fans have voted the Hendrick Motorsports pilot as the most popular in the sport.

The article from MSN discusses the discrepancy between NASCAR driver Chase Elliott's popularity in terms of social media engagement versus his standing in the NASCAR Cup Series. Despite being voted the most popular driver for six consecutive years, Elliott's social media numbers do not reflect this popularity. According to the article, other drivers like Kyle Larson, Bubba Wallace, and Denny Hamlin have significantly higher engagement rates on platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter). For instance, Bubba Wallace, despite not having the same level of on-track success, has a much larger following and higher engagement rates, suggesting that social media popularity does not necessarily correlate with traditional fan voting for the most popular driver. This insight raises questions about how fan engagement and popularity are measured in the modern era of digital media.
