The award is designed to recognize character and achievement in the face of adversity, sportsmanship and contributions to motorsports. Each year, quarterly winners are selected, and an overall winner is determined by a vote of the National Motorsports Press Association membership.
Keselowski was recognized for work through his Checkered Flag Foundation, which awarded grants to a series of entities, including Blum’s Landing, a retreat that provides veterans the opportunity to enjoy serene woods, lakes and rivers surrounding the bed and breakfast while recovering from the stress of combat, Rivers of Recovery and K9s for Veterans, this quarter.
Clint Bowyer won the award for the first quarter and Andy Hillenburg won it for the second quarter.
Also receiving votes were: Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jeff Gordon.
