nascar_awards_vegas_2013_ricky_stenhouse_danica_patrickUSAToday released the results to their 2013 Ad Meter: Year in Sports which is is about what made sports fun, on and off the field, in 2013. NASCAR was represented in some of their categories. Brad Keselowski was in the running for Best Athlete on Social Media but was beaten by McKayla Maroney….hmmm I’m not impressed. Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won in the Best Couple category with 30% of the vote, They beat out the following:

Lindsey Vonn/Tiger Woods (20%)
Kevin Durant/Monica Wright (16%)
Abby Wambach/Sarah Huffman (16%)
Danica Patrick/Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (30%)
Rory McIlroy/Caroline Wozniacki (17%)
