With Ryan Blaney becoming the third first-time winner of 2017, along with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Austin Dillon, we asked fans who they thought would be the next first-time winner in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
The results are in and Chase Elliott dominated with 71 percent of the vote.
Erik Jones received the second-most votes at 24 percent with Daniel Suarez and Ty Dillon bringing in three and two percent, respectively.
It’s no surprise that Elliott won the vote, he’s the most experienced of the four drivers and has become an instant favorite with fans, which is no surprise since his father, Bill, won the Most Popular Driver Award a record 16 times.
