No, Jimmie Johnson is not our pick as best NASCAR driver in 2009.

There are a ton of awards Johnson could legitimately grab. Hell he already has. But not this OPeR. Not this year.

Kyle Busch was NASCAR’s best driver in 2009.

20 wins combined in the top three NASCAR touring series did the trick. It didn’t hurt that The Shrub was following up a 22 win 2008 season either. Those two years could put Kyle Busch in the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

Rowdy didn’t make the Chase to the Sprint Cup. But won another OPeR. That should help. Shouldn’t it?

    Hmmm, so let’s see the guy that couldn’t beat the guy racing beat that same guy for your award because he won lots of races in the minor leagues but couldn’t even make it to the play-offs in the big boy series? Doesn’t make sense to me but oh, well, it’s your award.

    Isn’t the “minor leagues” of NASCAR also full of “big boys?”

Got something to say?
