Who’s your first quarter Driver of the Year?
Candidates:
BShepp has the most special event wins, with 6. But four of those paid under 10K, with no win higher than 12K.
Overton has the second most, with 5. All five paid 10K+, but nothing higher than 15K.
Devin Moran has only 3 wins, but all paid 10K+, and he had a crazy amount of runner up finishes and other top runs in FL/GA Speedweeks. He was the #1 driver in the country before the sport headed north and surely continues to lead in best average finish.
Chris Madden won one Speedweeks race at Volusia (10K), another 10K at Cherokee’s SAS show, and then made Bristol his own personal playground, winning not just one 50K show, but two of the available four big money shows.
Madden wasn’t in the hunt for Driver of the Year when everyone headed north after Speedweeks. But he has to be leading the pack as we head to the second quarter.
