Women of pressdog™ Danica Patrick and Pippa Mann were declared Most Popular in the IndyCar and Firestone Indy Lights leagues respectively at the annual DownForce banquet last weekend.

Danica's win was a six-peat while Pip won for the first time. The award is given based on voting from DownForce members.

“I’m very flattered that I’ve received this award once, let alone six times,” Patrick said in quotes provided by IndyCar.com. “Every person has the ability to pick their favorite driver, and it can change so it’s a real honor to receive an award from the fans.”

Mann, who finished fifth in Firestone Indy Lights, was honored by the fans for the first time.

“A year ago, I didn’t know what DownForce was, so I made an effort to participate with them year,” said Mann, who drove for Sam Schmidt Motorsports. “It’s such an honor and such a flattering and fantastic feeling. Indy DownForce does so much to support the series to get this award is just incredible.”
