The 'Stewies,' which first debuted in 2007, will be awarded during a live broadcast hosted by Stewart and Matt Yocum from Las Vegas on Dec. 3 (10 p.m.-midnight ET). The live broadcast will air on Sirius NASCAR Radio, available to listeners nationwide on Sirius Channel 128 and XM Channel 128 with the "Best of Sirius" programming package.

The two-hour event will feature live interviews with the 2009 champion and other drivers in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup in Las Vegas, plus other special guests.

"We had so much fun doing this show the last two years that we decided the season just wouldn't be complete without handing out a few more Stewies," Stewart said.

He and Yocum will announce the nominees in the award categories in the coming weeks. Fans around the country can determine the winners by casting their votes online at www.sirius.com/stewieawards.
