Four-time IZOD IndyCar Series champion Dario Franchitti has been nominated for an ESPY Award in the "Best Driver" category.

The 20th ESPYs will be broadcast live July 11 (9 p.m. ET on ESPN) from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles with host Rob Riggle. The event celebrates the best sports moments of the year.

Fans have the opportunity to select the winners in each category by voting online HERE or by mobile device at www.ESPN.com/ESPYS.

On May 27, Franchitti became the 10th driver to win the Indianapolis 500 for a third time. In 2011, the Target Chip Ganassi Racing driver earned his third consecutive IZOD IndyCar Series championship and fourth overall. 

The ESPYs and related events benefit the V Foundation for Cancer Research in memory of the late Jim Valvano.
