2009 OPer Awards: Best NASCAR Driver
December 19, 2009
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?

I am co-host of the syndicated radio show: ON PIT ROW. Charlie likes to call me an "idiot". I'm not an "idiot"; I just prefer not to let the facts get in the way of my opinions.
