2009 Motorsport Awards

Ok, so I'll do this a little differently this year. Here are the categories, fill them in and I'll go through them all (yes, I do research; youtube, google and wikipedia mainly) to pick the 'best' or go with my own if I think the 'best' aren't on here.

Make sense? Good :)

The serious awards first...remember, any motorsport category counts:

- Rookie of the Year
- Best Race of the Year
- Qualifier of the Year
- Team of the Year
- Pit Crew of the Year
- Driver of the Year
- Person of the Year



And now the fun ones -

- Personality of the Year
- Crash of the Year
- Surprise of the Year
- Miracle of the Year
- Worst Looking Car Livery of the Year
- Bone-headed Overtaking Attempt of the Year
- The Dental School Award (aka, the award that made the most jaws drop)
- The 'Carved from Stone' Award (aka the person that stood up when the heat was on)
- The Lucky Bugger Award

The results shall be posted...whenever I dang well feel like it, LOL!

13 comments:

  1. - Rookie of the Year - Ambrose,, NASCAR
    - Best Race of the Year - First Atlanta race
    - Qualifier of the Year - Mark Martin, NASCAR
    - Team of the Year - Brawn,, F1
    - Pit Crew of the Year- 48 TEAM,, NASCAR
    - Driver of the Year - Montoya,, NASCAR
    - Person of the Year - Mark Martin,,NASCAR

    (( I know picking Montoya for driver of the year might make some roll eyes but, taking in to account of a low ball team making the chase and his past seasons. Would have gone to Kyle Busch if he made the chase))


    - Personality of the Year- Thorn Busch
    - Crash of the Year- TIE- Edwards & Newman
    - Surprise of the Year- Montoya in Chase
    - Miracle of the Year- Mark Martin wins champ

    - Worst Looking Car Livery of the Year ?
    - Bone-headed Overtaking - Carl blocking Brad.
    - The Dental School Award (aka, the award that made the most jaws drop)- Dale Jr @ Daytona

    - The 'Carved from Stone' Award (aka the person that stood up when the heat was on) Jenson cause he started to loose it in points and on track racing and pick it up when he needed too.

    - The Lucky Bugger Award - Jimmie Johnson,, Even if he looses the championship cause of past races they came out ahead when they should have been behind.

    Cheers2You

  3. Can we backdate the bonehead move of the year to last year? Because if we can, I've got the PERFECT nominee: Carl Edwards at Talladega last year! If not, I nominate that move as Bonehead Move of the DECADE.

  6. oh, and remember, the 'Dental school award' doesn't have to be anything to do with a race, it can be something simple like Jimmie turning up to Daytona with that beard :P

  7. Tez, Like some media have said they counted this year for Ambrose as a rookie and I do beleave he had the yellow strip on his bumper didn't he?

    I am sticking with him cause this is your post so I have a feeling if a few others think this way he just might get it.

    Cheers2You

  11. Maros wasn't elligible for the Raybestos RotY thing but since he has the yellow rookie stripe on the back, he would be counted as one here.
