Elliott said the award is a reminder of what his family accomplished well before he arrived on the NASCAR scene. “You always want to try to carry your family name in the proper manner or at least in the manner that they would expect,” Elliott said. “I have always tried to do that and I hope I have done that successfully in my time, but for sure it is an extension of a lot of hard work from my dad and his brothers and my grandfather. It was a huge team effort and a huge family effort to have the careers that they had which led to me being here and having the opportunity to carry that forward.
The awards ceremony took place in NASCAR’s hub in Charlotte for the first time, a dramatic change from previous destination host cities like Las Vegas, New York and Nashville, Tennessee.
