The most important award he received was not given its due - a NASCAR contract thus saving him from the overhead camera angles that he was producing for the IRL without receiving compensation for his camera work.
I like him however, and can hardly wait to see him racing sportscar in the next couple years.Hey, anyone seen Austin Brammer around lately?

Not sure what overhead camera angles you're referring to, but on a sports telecast, Kobe Bryant, David Ortiz, Peyton Manning, etc., don't get paid for the competition. Yes, NASCAR DOES have a split to the TEAMS. Whether any driver gets any of it or not is anyone's guess. And Franchitti is the third IRL driver in four years to win the award.
