Voting for the 2025 SMART Modified Tour FloRacing Most Popular Driver Award is now open on FloRacing.com. The polls open Tuesday, November 18 at 3 p.m. ET and will close on Friday, December 5 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The winner will be announced at the SMART Modified Tour awards banquet on Friday, December 12 and across social media platforms. 

Fans can cast four votes per day for their favorite driver in the poll below between now and when voting closes. 

"We partnered with FloRacing to host the voting for our Most Popular Driver Award last year and it worked out great," said Chris Williams, the owner of the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic. "We have such a wide array of talent on our Tour, but beyond that, some of the best personalities in racing. I’m here to tell you, that is no exaggeration. From well-known Modified veterans to colorful and fast teenagers and even guys who have won races in the NASCAR Cup Series, we have it all. The voting should be interesting and we think that having the polls open for a brief time but increasing it to four-votes per day will make the whole process even more engaging for our great fans."

"This is always a fun award," said Matthew Dillner, Senior Racing Producer at FloSports. "Believe it or not, the drivers really want this Most Popular Driver Award. From grade school to adult life, everyone wants to be popular, right? It’s no different for racecar drivers. They care about checkered flags and trophies but come awards season, they want this one.”

In 2024, Carson Loftin was voted by racing fans as the SMART Modified Tour Most Popular Driver after a five-win season in SMART competition. For three seasons prior, NASCAR Hall of Famer and NASCAR Cup Series champion, Bobby Labonte, took the hardware.
