NEW YORK (AP) -- Two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart and radio sidekick Matt Yocum decided earlier this year that the stock car sport needed some awards to rival Hollywood's Oscars and Emmies. Thus were the Stewie Awards born. Stewart and Yocum, who co-host a weekly show on Sirius Satellite Radio, asked listeners to vote online in 12 categories. They handed out the inaugural Stewies this week in New York as part of NASCAR's Champion's Week celebration. Among the winners: -- Lifetime achievement awards to former NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. and Hall of Fame driver/broadcaster Benny Parsons, both of whom died in 2007. -- Legend from the golden era of racing to longtime star A.J. Foyt Jr. -- BEST DUET (for outstanding teamwork by driver and crew chief) to Clint Bowyer and Gil Martin after Martin kept his driver calm and the team made only one adjustment on the car in their first Cup Nextel Cup victory Sept. 16 at New Hampshire. -- BEST ORIGINAL DRAMA to Kevin Harvick for his scintillating victory over Mark Martin in the Daytona 500 last February. -- NEW KID ON THE TRACK award to rookie of the year Juan Pablo Montoya, who won the road race at Sonoma in June. -- BEST STUNT SEQUENCE (Hal Needham Award for year's most spectacular crash) to Bowyer for crossing the finish line on his roof in the Daytona 500. -- Best ORIGINAL COMEDY (for year's most entertaining on track incident or occurrence) to Robby Gordon for his victory burnout after the inaugural Busch Series road race in Montreal, despite losing the race. -- BEST ENGINEERING AND SPECIAL EFFECTS (Smokey Yunick Award for year's most creative, and ultimately illegal, modifications) to a race car to crew chief David Hyder & Michael Waltrip Racing vice president of competition Bobby Kennedy after illegal fuel was found in Waltrip's No. 55 car at the Daytona 500. -- DAZED AND CONFUSED award (for year's most baffling move) to Teresa Earnhardt and her Dale Earnhardt Inc. team for allowing Dale Earnhardt Jr. to leave for Hendrick Motorsports. -- I GOT DUMPED award (for year's most memorable on-track bumping) to Kyle Busch, wrecked by brother Kurt in the All-Star Challenge in May at Charlotte.
