Most of you will recall the inaugural Sprint Awards for S2, and would like to remind you all that we will be having the same for S3 once the Chase is over.
However, we have no nominations in yet, and with more categories this year, I thought it might be a good idea to remind people so that the can get some early nominations locked in before we all forgot.
Series 3 Sprint Award Categories and Past Winners
Here's a few from me:
Race Comeback : Knelly at Indy 125. Falling back six seconds from the pack on first lap, working back to, and through, the field to not only lead the most laps, but take a convincing win.
Race Battle : SGR v Gibbs at Daytona 500. Battle of the pit strategies with Gibbs having the extra car, prevailing.
Joe v Mule at Monza. Again differing pit strategies didn't decide this one till late in the race.
Joe v Niop at HSR. Battle pursued from start to (almost) finish, after Joe scraped a couple of walls in the closing laps.
Most Improved : This will be from the following
Drop, Niop, Joe, Knelly, ACDC, Mudd, Crazy, Dowhat, Furi, Homeslice, MStall
Rookie : This will be from the following
Mule, Tom, RPH, Matty, Nater
Unluckiest : Knelly at SSRX, Tom who seems to be having a Jeff Gordon year.
Respected : Joe and Niop both up there for me. Any others?
Feared : Same two on Roads and ACDC on Ovals spring to mind.
Oval and Road drivers : As per above really
Drop, can you please place the above as early nominations to the OP, and also include the following S2 Winners for history and stats sake.
Rookie of the Season was Mstall
Rivalry of the Season was Crazy v Hendrick (ACDC took the title following a Dirty NASCAR race)
Unluckiest of the Season was Mudd
Most Improved of the Season was Niop
Race Comeback of the Season was Niop at Monza
Race Battle of the Season was Joe v Home at Indy
Looking forward to see what nominations if any some of you others have 👍
