The first annual "Stewie Awards," honoring the best, boldest and funniest moments of the 2007 NASCAR season will be awarded during a special live broadcast of Tony Stewart Live on Sirius NASCAR Radio (ch 128).

Tony Stewart, who the "Stewies" obviously borrows its namesake from, will present the awards during his weekly talk show at Sirius' New York City studios on Thursday, November 29th (6pm - 8pm ET) during 2007 NASCAR Champions Week.

Stewart and co-host Matt Yocum will announce the nominees in the 12 award categories on a future edition of Tony Stewart Live. Following the announcement of the nominees, fans can decide the winners by casting their votes online.
