FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- Kurt Busch wasn't the only one celebrating in the NASCAR victory lane Sunday afternoon.

Busch's win at the Dickies 500 earned a 23-year-old Oklahoma agriculture teacher $1 million.

Michael McGee, from Broken Bow, in southeastern Oklahoma, learned last week that he was Dickies' 2009 American Worker of the Year.

Along with the VIP NASCAR tickets, McGee was allowed to pick one of the drivers to win. He chose Kurt Busch and since Busch won, McGee gets $1 million.

McGee told a Texas media outlet that he wants to pay off his house and maybe start a scholarship program for college students who study agriculture.
