NASCAR Driver Tony Stewart and SIRIUS Satellite Radio Announce Winners of Inaugural 'Stewie Awards' NASCAR Driver Tony Stewart and SIRIUS Satellite Radio Announce Winners of Inaugural 'Stewie Awards' "The Stewies" presented live tonight at SIRIUS' New York City studios Legendary driver A.J. Foyt awarded "Golden Stewie"; Kevin Harvick captures "Best Original Drama" award; Robby Gordon wins for "Best Original Comedy" NEW YORK, Nov 29, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Winners of the inaugural 'Stewie Awards' were announced tonight by two-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champion and SIRIUS Radio host Tony Stewart at the SIRIUS Satellite Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) Studios in New York City. The 2007 'Stewie Award' winners were decided by fans around the country who logged on to www.SIRIUS.com to vote for the best, boldest and funniest moments of the 2007 NASCAR season. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19991118/NYTH125 ) The 'Stewies' were awarded during a special broadcast of Tony Stewart Live, the weekly talk show hosted by Stewart and Matt Yocum on SIRIUS NASCAR Radio channel 128, in the midst of the 2007 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Champions Week. Winners in 12 categories including "Best Duet," honoring outstanding teamwork by a driver and crew chief, "Best Original Drama," honoring the year's most exciting race moment, "Best Driver2Crew Chatter Exchange," "Best Stunt Sequence" and others were honored. Among the evening's highlights was the presentation of the "Stewie Lifetime Achievement Award" to two legends of NASCAR - former NASCAR Chairman and CEO Bill France, Jr. and Hall of Fame driver/broadcaster Benny Parsons, both of whom passed away in 2007. Bill France, Jr. became NASCAR's president in January 1972, replacing his father and NASCAR's founder, William H.G. France. Bill France, Jr. grew up in the formative years of stock car racing, living and learning every detail of the sport from his own experiences - flagging events, scoring, conducting, promoting and even racing himself in the 1950s. Under his watch, NASCAR was ushered into the modern era and has grown into one of the most popular sports in the United States. Benny Parsons, the 1973 NASCAR Cup champion and 1975 Daytona 500 winner, was respected by drivers and loved by fans throughout his racing career. After retiring from competition, Parsons endeared himself to television audiences as a straightforward, unassuming and insightful broadcaster. Parsons was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1994 and named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers in 1998. The winners of the 2007 'Stewie Awards' are: -- Stewie Lifetime Achievement Award -- Bill France, Jr., former Chairman and CEO of NASCAR -- Benny Parsons, Hall of Fame driver/broadcaster -- Golden Stewie Award - Honoring a legendary driver from the Golden Era of racing (1960-85) -- A.J.
